Tire size ????

MBrown · 12-06-2011, 10:52 AM

On a 335d...stock...m6 replica wheels....
Front 18x8.5 offset 35mm
Rear 18x9.5 offset 38mm

Can I run 235/40/18 front and...
265/35/18 without rubbing. Will this protect the rims as they won\'t need to be stretched as much as 225/40/18 and 255/35/18? Will the height of the walls be equal?

Yes, those sizes will fit.

But I still wouldn't count on much rim protection.

The front sizing looks pretty solid, the rear is a tad more aggressive than what we'd recommend. Depending on the tire you may not get any rubbing. As far as rim protection though, they should look pretty flush with the face of the wheel. IE: they will not be protruding past the sides of the wheels. You would likely be susceptible to curb rash if you are not careful.

I live in St Louis...What snow tire would you recommend? Snow and ice tire or snow performance? What brand...?

The tire sizing looks just fine, I wouldn't go for anything wider.
