Tire sizes

For those of you with 18's on your E39...

what size tires do you have? I want something a little aggressive, but not too crazy. The rims I am looking at are 18 x 8 all around. I could have gone for the 8's up front and 9.5 in the rear, but didnt want to lose the ability to rotate front to back..

all suggestions are welcome...

Welcome Jason, I am Jason as well. You should be able to fit 8.5" all around no problem.

Read about my Frankenmotor Project and see how an M50 becomes an S50!!!

No, don't worry. It's cool. I'm taking it back for us.

steer clear of the Kuhmos, they only lasted me 18K miles before having to change to the Fuzion ZRi's I have now, so far so good...
