M3 219 rear wheel
- ET23 18x9.5 with 245/40/18 tires.
Would this rub on a E92? my fenders are rolled.

Thanks

I posted a similar question for putting various M3 wheels (e46 and e92) on my sport pkge e92 and also had no replies....
the only thing I found on searches is that the tire sizes are too tall....26 inch diameter for M3 set up and you want to keep around 25' diameter in non M3 applications by using 35 series on 18 inch wheels or on 19" M3 wheels use 30 series tires verse the 35s of the stock M3.

Some posters said they had no problems while others posted not to try it

I would have thought Tire Rack , VMR (both of which I have purchased from before) or even forum members may have been more helpful.....

I'm thinking of doing the same thing. I'm gonna just throw 255 35 18s on rear

Are you lowered? I think at the very least you'll need a 35 series tire.

Does yours rub and did u have to roll the fender?

That setup is too aggressive with that tall of a tire. I rubbed with a 15mm spacer out back (didn't rub on the fender but up higher inside of the wheel well). Never rubbed once with a 10mm though. You're setup puts you 15mm past that! Not gonna happen...
