Mixing 40 profile and 45 profile?

Can I run 275 45 R20's on the rear and 275 40 R20 on the front? I guess not as it will screw up something.

Currently have 275 40 R20 all round but would like to change to 45 profile for a bit more comfort. However front only went on 8000 miles ago so still have quite a bit of life in them. Robin

You`d be increasing the diameter of only 2 wheels then.

It`ll look something like this Laughing

Agreed, would advise against mixing profiles.

If we all point our RR's in the same direction and accelerate at the same time can we turn back time?

Yes, you can. A lot of BMW's have wider wheels on the back, and therefore have a different profile. Eg, you would have say a 305/45 on the rear. You would need to work out exactly which on a calculator. The 40 just means 40% of the width. 2012 RRS SDV6

If my calculations are correct, if you run a 275/40 x 20 tyre on the front you would need to run a 245/45 x 20 on the rear to get almost the same rolling radius. 275/40 x 20 is 228.71cm a 245/45 x 20 is 228.87cm not sure I would want to put a 245 tyre on a 9.5J rim. and run it on a 2.5 ton Sport. Also kind of defeats what Robin is trying to achieve surely.

Cheers
Col

Agreed, no-one suggested putting a 245 on a 9.5j rim from what I can see. I just said it can be done. 2012 RRS SDV6

The 40/45 is the profile (height), not the width though. The staggered setup on the likes of M3`s won`t affect the overall circumference just because the rears are wider. Steve.

The BMW are designed with this odd tyre arrangement from the outset, however. The RRS is designed to run the same all round.

Just because you can, doesn't mean you should. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed
