What is the max tire width on M3 rims for e90?

dreamwonder · 10-16-2005, 02:17 AM

Hi,

I have a set of M3 18 rims that I am planning to put on my e90.

I was wondering if I can do this:
Front rim 8inch. 255/35/18
Rear rim 9inch. 275/35/18

I want the look, but if it hurts performance then I need to re-evaluate.

Thanks

Again, with the different tire diameters between the front and rear tires, the traction control/ABS warning light might come on. I am not sure if there is a 15% flexibility between tire sizes.
