Feeler:

Brand new set of Toyo T1 R's

(2) 245/35/18-fronts
(2) 255/35/18-rears

Was going to mount them on my 18" CSL's but now that winter is here in NYC will just sell them now and buy them again in the spring. I waited forever to get these in b/c they were backordered and now that they are here so is winter. So I am looking to just recoup most of my money. This is a feeler for offers of @$700 and local preferred. Free mounting and balancing on LI included :thumbup:

245/35/18s will fit without rubbing on a 18x8 wheel on a 330Ci?

I wouldnt run a 245/35/18 in the front on a CI but you could run them in the rear or better yet, buy his 255/35 tires for your rears.

The overall diameter of a Toyo T1 R in an OEM sized 225/40/18 is 25.1 inches. These 245/35/18 size in at 24.8 they are actually closer in spec then a 235/40/18 which is taller and sizes in 25.4 inches. I prefered a .3 shorter tire then a .3 taller tire. The section width of a 235/40/18 is 9.5, these 245/35/18 has a section width of 9.6 and thus .1 is negligable especially considering the 245/35 is shorter then a 225/40. The front CSL replicas are 8.5 width so 225 front would be stretched and leave the lip of the wheel exposed and a 235 was to tall for my preference.

I have seen and driven this setup on a 330ci fine with no rubbing on a friends car, in fact his speedo seemed to be more accuarate then my car running 235/40 fronts and 265/35 rears, so after my own research that is what finally convinced me to get this setup. However I still currently have Michelin Pilot Sports 265/35/18 in the rear and they rub occasionally so you will probaly need a higher offset then 40 and have your fenders rolled.
