Official F56 Wheel Fitment Thread
So just about to order tires for my new rims. 18" RSE 12's.
Purely on looks I was thinking of running oversized tires. I've posted about this before but thinking 215 45 18's. I've always thought the tires look too small on our cars. They looked good on the R56 but now I'm not sure.
Has anyone else done this. I know it will mean that the speedometer and odometer will under read by a couple of miles/hour etc.

It lets you compare the sidewall height and will give you clearance data. For instance, a 215/45/18 vs. a 215/40/18 tire will be 2.6" taller.

Going to go with a 215/40/18 tire.
Trying to decide on Continental ExtremeContact DW or Hankook Ventus Evo2.
Any recommendations?
Thanks!!

It is 28% all around with a 70% on the windshield. I'm in Florida so the windshield tint helps so much with our heat and it is almost impossible to tell that it's tinted because it's so light.
It is 3m crystalline so it adds a little more reflective look. The reflective really kicks in at angles, even slight angles, like the picture shows. Looking straight through the tint looks like an average darkness.

Yea, that looks good , much better to match all the a,b,c, d pillar tirms.
