if you do the math, a 235 that is 26.7" is more like a 47% aspect ratio sidewall.

maybe the mold designer partied too much the night before he made it,

Is it possible it's a typo on their part? I kinda want to contact them to confirm before I write them off.

I looked at other sizes that i know the typical diameters of, and some, but not all, are off by a few tenths also. Its weird. Yes please call them as it helps confirm things for all of us.

Not to revive a dead thread but did you end up confirming this one way or the other? I want to just go and measure myself on the AS/4's in 235/45R18 since that's the only size that seems off when I look at the listed sizes.

Never ended up getting them because I upgraded to 403Ms which are 19s. The AS4 for those sizes were listed appropriately when compared to OEM specs.

If they’re the black variety I would ask in the F87 forum, if they’re gray I would ask in the F80 forum. Very few people here would have those. Also probably hard to find just one for sale. I think your best bet is eBay or to buy it new.
