245/35/18 and 265/35/18 on Pre-LCI e90?

SoCalHarley · 01-10-2015, 12:27 PM

I will be using Apex PS-7 18's Front 8.5 et35 and Rear 9.5 et33. Lowereing on ST Coilovers. Will 245's work up front? Tire diameter is .5 less than the rear 24.8 to 25.3 so it will be a little over 2% difference so I think that would be OK. Any thought on this set up? These would be perfectly matched to the rim width. They are Conti Extreme DW.
Thanks

245's will be fine on the front. I think a better size would be 245/40 on the front and 275/35 on the rear, sidewalls are almost identical. That's what I did- http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1053454

This is the rear with a +30 offset with the front jacked up so you can see the fender clearance. I'm on stock sport suspension, but shouldn't be any rubbing if you're lowered, especially with +33.

Go 235/40 on the front. That will work better with the 265/35 rears.
