Vredestein Ultrac Sessantas on 162 wheels?

Wake27 · 05-14-2010, 04:43 PM

I've been looking around for reviews on tires and found that a growing number of members here and on the M3 side definitely recommend these tires. I was thinking PS2's, but after hearing so much good especially when talking price, I'm now very interested. I know as much about tires as I do with anything else car related though, not a lot. I'm currently running 162 wheels on the stock runflats. The tires on now are 225/40R18 88W front and 255/35R18 90W rear.

From what I'm seeing the front will be fine, but the rears don't quite match up. Do you guys think there would be any problems? Oh, no drop or aftermarket springs but I do have the sport package.

Going with the OEM size of 225/40/18 and 255/35/18 will be fine.

I run PS2s on 162s (hey, that rhymes) and they're great so far!

Awesome, I appreciate it guys. Hopefully in a few short months I'll have some new wheels to go with them, I'm thinking VMR v710's in gunmetal.

Alright, noob question. Are my wheels staggered? I'm assuming yes, because if not than all of the measurements would be the same front and rear right?

Staggered means different width front and rear, so yes, the 162s are staggered.
