May depend on brand: B'stone SO2 PP site calls for 7.5" min on 235/45; 8.0" min on 235/40

Do you want a larger or smaller diameter tire. If you are lowering your car, you may want to go smaller.

the thing is that I already have 4 toyo tires from my old 95' 540 and they only have around 3000km

Could you post a link to this page on the Bridgestone site?

For example, it seems Dunlop SP5000 in the 235/45 fit with no problems. I have Yoko AVS db's and the right rear rubs ever so slightly on hard right turns only. Figure I'll have worn a mm or so off in a few thgousand miles and that will cure that. Others have had no problems with this tire, so it even varies from car to car. Like I said, it's REALLY close.

Shameless

Believe anything Bridgestone says these days? (NT)
