Tires for a 2011 E90

DougNBodie · 03-27-2021, 07:05 PM

I have a M Sport with 18" 193 rims and want to keep them as I have been in a few with 19" rims and the ride is so Flintstone. Anyways, Can I put 235/40/18 on the front and 265/35/18 on the back without any problems?
Standard size is 225/40 and 255/35.
Thanks....All I can find on here is talk about 19 or 20" wheels

Yes that'll work. That's the setup I have on mine except that in the rear i have 255/35/18 but 265 will work just fine, if not better

Running 235's on the front will be no problem (8" wheel). However, the rears are 8.5"...and to go with a 265 is going to be a little "balloon-y." You really should go to a 9" wheel for 265s....to each their own, though.

Yep hard to find info on 18's because 19's look so much better I spent the $ to show it

Thanks for the info. I appreciate it

It's not hard to find info on 18's lol and they're probably more common than 19's. They ride way better too.
