Rim Size

On a 2004 6mt, are the front and the back rims the same size. Would I have a problem putting 245/45/18 winter tires on the fronts? TIA

Re: Rim Size

Yes, front and back are the same width (8"). However, I would not put the same tire size front and rear. It will upset the stagger built into our cars. The outside diameter of the wheel/tire combo is 1" smaller in front, than in back. This difference should be maintained, or you will upset VDC, TC, and the good handling characteristics built into the coupe.

I have 225/50/17 and 225/55/17 winters. I had them on for a couple of days about 2 weeks ago. I didnt notice any issues with VDC, TC. I wanted the 245 for the rear but couldnt find them, also the guy at the dealer told me that 225 all around will be fine.

Re: Rim Size

Did you get that set up from the dealer? Do you have the 6mt, if so i assume that they clear the Brembos. If you bought them from somewhere can you please direct me to the place as I am in need of winter tires badly.

Re: Rim Size

I was actually going to ask a similar question. What's the widest and largest size rims we can fit on front and back? I know people have 20" on the rears. I'm looking at 19x10.5 in the back. Will I have any problems fitting these? If so I can always get 9.5 but I like more grip.
