265/35/18 Rear Tires On My 330xi?

Bzuki · 04-09-2010, 02:31 PM

Would 265/35/18 on the back of my 330xi have any rubbing issues or any other kind of issues? In case your wondering the fronts will have 225/40/18. I appreciate your feedback. A newbie needs some good feedback. Thank you

You need to do 225/255 or 235/265 because you have xDrive. The overall rolling diameters should be close <1%.
Rubbing depends on wheel width/offset and ride height.

I run 265 in the rear with a offset of 45 on my 330xi, with no rub

Also, 265/35R18 tires list 9" as the minimum recommended rim width. The OE rear wheels are generally just 8.5" wide. They may still work without a problem but are technically outside the recommended range, so this may void a tire warranty claim.
