What tire size do I go on 18x9.5 et38

I have a 07 335xi sedan I was wondering what is the max tire size I can fit on those rims without rub. I got 10mm spacers for the front only.

Don't do that. You'll have issues with xDrive with the different diameters. Do 245 or 255 square.

Yea. Some come with staggered tire sizes. You need to keep size difference under 3% I believe. You’ll want to search.
