Sizing for spacers and/or new tires for E92 335is coupe on 18" 313 wheels

AAAAAAAAAA · 02-09-2017, 04:39 PM

I have a 2013 335is with OEM 18" Style 313 wheels. It is still on the OEM Bridgestone runflats which are 225/40/18 front & 255/35/18 rear.

I have been considering getting spacers, or possibly even buying new Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires.

My questions are, if I go with new tires, could I get away with doing 235 front and 265 rear, on the same 313 wheels? And if so, would this widen the stance a little bit? Would you still recommend doing spacers with this setup or would it look good as-is?

And if I decide to keep the RFTs for now and get spacers, what sizes should I go with? I have done some searching around but seems to be no consensus. I was thinking 10mm front and 12mm rear, does that sound reasonable?

In any scenario I want to be on the safer side, not risk any rubbing.

Thanks in advance.

If your on sport suspension, you shouldn't run into any rubbing issues. That being said, you could still run the 10mm & 12mm spacers along with the 235 & 265 tire combo.

You can go 275 in the rear, at least I can on the factory 19's, and I also run a 10 mm spacer and I have no rubbing.

Yes, you could move to 235/265 on the 313 wheels. Although, the tire sizes would be slightly larger than optimal for the wheel - with PSS. Honestly, I would just go with PSS 225/255 and spacers. You will see a very nice improvement in all around grip, ride and wet traction with the PSS.

The 335is can manage up to 255/275, with after market wheels, on stock suspension.

I have the exact same set-up as OP.

18' 313M wheels with stock sport suspension with 225/40/18 front & 255/35/18 rear.

Will keep these tyre for now but was interested in spacers.

Was wondering what the most aggressive I could go for front and rear without rubbing/rolling fenders?

Understand it can only be so aggressive of a stance without rolling.

Appreciate any advice.
