NOOB here with will it fit question

Poncho@home · 08-20-2012, 02:58 PM

I just picked up a 2004 330Cic and was wondering if these would fit without modifications.

18x8 ET32 (225/40/18)
18x9 ET30 (255/35/18)

Car is stock with ZSP (Sport package)

I know ZHPs have those size tires, however rims have different offsets/widths.

Thanks in advance for any responses.

Also how do you think these will look on my car?

Fronts will fit fine. Rears however may be a bit aggressive and with the tire sizing you may run into rubbing issues. A simple fender modification will most likely solve this problem though!

9+30 is nothing too aggressive. maybe a slight, and i mean very slight stretch may be needed. or a good shave.

I was really hoping not to touch fenders at all. Nothing bought yet, so no biggie. I am debating whether I stay with OEM M68 rims with new 225/45/17 & 255/40/17 to replace worn tires or step up to 18s. Our roads in Quebec are pretty rough, so 17s might be a better choice.

Roads here are rough too.. but i went from 17 to 18 to 19 to 18, and many more in between.. your call

The difference between 17" to 18" is not that drastic and does not really make that big of a difference in ride quality. However, if you are getting new tires and do not mind the M68s then perhaps stick with those?

The problem with my M68s is they need to be redone. They're not bad, but not in the same condition the rest of the car is, or to my standards. I passed inspection with the tires on the car so now I have all winter to think about it. I was shopping tires and prices between 17s to 18s are not that different, so I might go for 18s.

Any recommendations on 18s for a silver gray 330Cic. I want staggered and stock sizing, like ZHPs with 225s & 255s.
