Quick rim/tire question

335xiRacer · 03-27-2013, 03:10 PM

Hey guys Im going to be running 18x9 wheels all around on my 08 335xi. Im trying to decide on tires. I drive this everyday so I was thinking of staying with a 40 series tire. I was thinking 245/40 or should i go up to 255/35? Any input would be helpful. Thanks

Since you are xi, I'd stick with a 245/40 tire size!

I run 245/40 all around and it works well. 255/35 may be pushing it up front and may rub the strut depending on your offset.
