Yup it'll fit. Just a tiny bit bigger than your stock tire size.

That's what almost everyone has replaced their 215s w/....225/45 has more choices.

Hey Question on after market wheels.

Whats is the most width and offset I can go to for after market wheel without having to roll my fenders. I am on eibach lowering springs.

Thinking of getting 18x8.5 with +35 to +40

*I have fairly new Michelin PS4 225/45 and dont wanna spend on tires anymore.

8.5? et45 up w/ 225/45 max. Any lower offset & wider tire, you'll have to roll.

If I may solicit your opinions. Have a 3yr old M3. Hearing a slight creaking noise at the driver side (casa referred to it as tok sound) when driving over humps, eneven road and turning wheel. Especially on slow drive.

Had CASA checked on it about 6 months ago but was diagnosed as engine support 4. CASA replaced it and probably lost some noise. But few months ago, same noise can be heard again. CASA now diagnosed as replacement of both shock absorbers, bearing strut, rubber mounting for a whopping price of 34K! and these parts are told not to be covered by warranty.

Do you think this is a fair price? Based from someone who may have experienced the same, is the diagnosis correct? As the car is 3yrs old and city driven on paved road, do you think replacement of shock absorber is a right thing to do?

TIA!
