time for new shoes
Time for new rubber on my '08 E93 335i
I will be buying Michelin Super Sport however I need guidance for fitment. I would like to go with 265/35/18 for the rear my question is more for the fronts. What do I run up there with the size I want on the rear? Thanks!

235/40R18 is a very common size to use up front among the forum members.

+1 for a 235/40/18 and 265/35/18 stagger. What are your wheel specs?

A 265/35/18 is technically too wide for an 8.5" wheel. If you're running OEM wheels, just stick with OEM tire sizing.

Front: 18x8.5 ET29 Style 219M wheels, 225/40/18 Michelin Pilot SS Rear: 18x9.5 ET23 Style 219M wheels, 255/35/18 Michelin Pilot SS  Here are two views. The first is with 235/40F, 265/35R Hankooks The second is with 225/40F, 255/35R Michelin Bottom line: stay with OEM specs for your Michelins. They are naturally meatier and would look fine, plus, they are less expensive! Hankooks:  Michelins:
