What tire size for m3 offset wheels

I have a buddy who has m3 spec wheels on his 335 e90 dropped on st suspension. He's not staggered.

What is max tire size for front he can run without rubbing? Right now he's 265/35/18 all the way around. Front tires touch the fender and bumper.

Yeah, 265 in the front is way too big. If you want to run a 9.5 ET22 up front, your looking at a 225 or a 235 max with negative camber.

I have 245/35/19 with the same wheel specs up front and -1.8 degrees camber. Works fine for me, but I don't recommend it. My fenders were flattened and I let the plastic wear itself down it is a tight fit.

225/40/18 at stock camber, or 235/40/18 with camberplates would fit better.
