Tire fitment for winter set

obzen · 08-18-2020, 03:39 PM

Anyone know if 225/50/18 will be an issue on a RWD 440 F36? Saw 400m style wheels with winter tires for sale but not sure if the 50 sidewalk would be an issue. Currently on 19s staggered.

Narrower tires do better when driving in snow. If that tire size fits properly on that wheel (width is the determining factor) you'll be fine. You should also try to keep the tire circumference the same as your original tire/wheel set.
