Aftermarket rims and tires setup, will it fit/rub?

peanuboy · 02-24-2009, 02:50 PM

I've gotten tired of searching and found no definite answers on this forum, others and on google.

I tried the tirerack tool in calculating the differential in OEM 18" setup for our e90 vs the set of rims/tires I come across....

I currently have:

08 e90 335i sedan non-sport with stock 17" rims
Type 159 17x8 ET34 225/45 R17 tires

OEM 18" setup is, according to info I gathered here:

Front: 18x8 ET34 225/40 R18 tires
Rear: 18x8.5 ET37 255/35 R18 tires

The set of rims/tires I have in mind:

Front: 18x8 ET35 225/40 ZR18 tires
Rear: 18x9 ET35 265/35 ZR18 tires

Also considering dropping with H&R Race Springs which according to specs, gives me a 2.0"Front/1.5"Rear drop.

Will this setup work? Any it fit at all/any rubbing?
Any help would be appreciated! Tks!!!

No fitment problems with that set up.

But I might go with either 225 and 255, or 235 and 265 tires.

Thanks for all the replies, i researched further on these rims and found out i may have a prob with the hub, 1 very important info i forgot to include in the orig thread is these rims i am considering are off a chevy 5x120 setup, which i may need hubcentric adapters or perhaps the hub of the rims may not fit with our e90
