Tire fitment size question help

kressley · 02-27-2015, 12:37 PM

2006 e90 330i sport suspension
Stock 162 wheels
Stock current tire size
Front 225/40/18
Rear 255/35/18

Discount tire says I can go bigger can anyone confirm?
They say
Front 245/40/18
Rear 275/35/18

These are Michelin pilot sport PS2 run flat.
I think I need to go wider for the wheel though.

Thanks for any help.
Jason.

Why not 235/40 and 265/35? I wouldn't go wider than that on stock wheels

Only reason at this point is because I have not found the Michelin ps2 in 265 size and run flat.
I would eventually go to wheels
V710 18x8.5 ET35 5x120 72.6
V710 18x9.5 ET33 5x120 72.6

But wanted to see if I could just go with tires first wheels later in the summer.

After I posted the question here I went back online with discount tire and the rep apologized and confirmed 275 is to big for stock wheels.

Should I just stick to the stock size find a different tire or maybe get wheels first then tires later?

I do want to stick with RFT.
