Can I fit a 255/35 r18 in the front of my pre LCI e92?

Currently running 18x8.5 ET33 front wheel and -1.1 front camber. Car is lowered like 1” up front also (BMW Performance Suspension).

I looked around and couldn’t get a clear answer as to if a 255 will fit in the front of a E92.

I have a 255 on an LCI e92 with a 9-inch et30 wheel; Dinan Springs. M3 control arms. I get a rub at full lock in reverse, but that is it.

Thanks for the info. Is the rubbing on the inside strut or the fender? If my math is right your set up would be 3mm more into the strut than mine.

I guess I should ask, has anyone ever run a stock rear 8.5” wheel and stock rear 255 tire on the front with success? That is pretty much the same fitment as what I’m trying to run up front.

I have an 18x8.5 et38 arc-8 with a 255 in front. Same fitment as stock rears. I have an e90 but I bought them from an e92 owner who was running the same setup.
