Noob Tire Question

elons335i · 07-02-2014, 10:40 PM

I'm looking to get a square set of 18x9s for a 2009 e90.

If I install 255/40/18 in the front - will it clear without modification to stock suspension/fender?

Too tall and wide.

235/40R18 fits almost every time. Some have gotten away with 245/40R18 and a few even 255/35R18.

Tried to PM you, didn't work. First off, thanks for your response. Second, two days ago I was shopping for tires for the wife's lexus. It ended up being cheaper through your competitor (name withheld). For future reference, does tire rack match or beat prices?

I don't think they price match but I've always found them cheaper. Even if it's close I'll buy from tirerack because the customer service and they support the forums

I appreciate you considering us. Unfortunately the Tire Rack does not price match and we do occasionally get beat on pricing. Perhaps next time around we'll have the better price for you.
