Help with a 18X18.5 squared m3 wheels on my 2008 335xi
Hi Everyone,
I bought a set of m3 rims/tires they are 18X8.5J with a 27 offset for all the rims. They came with Continental winter tires 255 40 18 99V. Currently I am running 225 45 18's all around. I tried to do some research about maximum sizes and staggered settings, found a lot of good stuff but unfortunately nothing on the new m3 rims. I like to run a square setting. Any thoughts on the tire sizes, Can I replace the winters with my 225 45 all around or should I get new tires with thicker walls. Do I need wheel spacers, or fender rolling? Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated as I am loosing my mind over this. Thanks Everyone in advance. |

The wheel style isn't what you should be researching, rather similar width, ET, and tire size figures instead.
Since you already have the setup in hand, I'd throw them on up front as they are and see what happens. Provide some feedback after so that: 1. we can continue to help you make them fit and 2. those interested in running a similar setup will have a point of reference in the future. That's how it's supposed to work around here |

Unfortunately I didn't take any pictures with the 255's winters. It was rubbing only on the front passenger side while turning right. Then I decided to put my 225 40's I thought it would stretch quite a bit because my old wheels are 18X8 with a 35 offset and the news ones are 18*8.5 with a 27 offset, but I was wrong.
It drives fine now, haven't noticed any rubbing yet. I was thinking to get 255's for the rear to make it look tougher. Would do you think? |
