Only asking on here as most of you have BMW's ha.

My mate has a BMW very similar to this on a 2004 reg

http://www.corsasport.co.uk/board/viewthread.php?tid=657507

He has 225/40/18 all round on tyres but been told has staggered rims on the back so should be running 255/35/18

Anybody know if this sounds about right? Bought it a few months ago with 225/40/18 all round....

Yeah M sports have staggered rear on them; I have always ran 255/35/18 on the rear of MV1 and MV2's. Those pictured are MV2's.

They could be reps tho in which case they may not be staggered

By size do you mean wide?

Thanks for advertising my for sale thread

I can confirm 225/40/18 front and 255/35/18 on the rears.

I think the staggered MV2's came on sports only?

Also there is a sticker below drivers door catch that tells you tyre sizes.
