need some help with tire size for 335i coupe

Kolyan2k · 06-27-2010, 08:16 PM

Obviously the the stock size is 225/40/18 and 255/35/18. I know that 265/40/18 rubs in rear, but I have an option to purchase 235/40/18 and 255/40/18 instead. My question is, will 255/40/18 rub in rear ? ps. I NEVER have more then 2 people in car......

Thanks. Its a good deal so i really wish this setup will work.

well by looking at the car, i think they will work, it looks like the combination of 265 and 40 that can cause the fender rubbing.

255/40/18 will not rub if you are staying with the OEM offset. The rear of the car will just sit up a few mm higher than level.

That is right. +30 offset would be the pefect look but +35 would be fine too.
