hey! I was about to post almost the exact same thread but for an e92 on 18's. Btw I just got a set of 18" CS.16 and will be running PSS's as well, waddya know haha.

Since I don't have any valuable knowledge to lend I apologize, but I'll let you know where I find the lowest price on PSS's since I've been requesting prices from a lot of shops including one where a family member works.

good luck with your stance!

hahaha you too, i guess we will keep each other updated then. at first i was looking at VMR VB3's but then i saw how much lighter these were. ive seen these in person on an M3 E92 and they look much better then the pictures online. i found the specs on michelin's website and found these sizes to be the closest to the original tire diameter, just wider

Crazy! I was looking at VB3 and V710's as well. I was doing the same thing re: tire size however I'm going 18" and wanted to do a square setup for track purposes but overall the opinion was that 255 would NOT fit in the front and I didn't want to go smaller than 255 in the rear so will now need to go staggered.

Btw your e90 will have more clearance in the rear and I saw a post where someone put 285s back there but I dont recall whether he had to roll his fenders (likely). also I believe our front fitment is very similar so I'm sorry to say that 255 may not fit, might have to do 245...

thats a bummer, i could always experiment try fitting the stock 162's im running right at the rear towards the front, they're 8.5 with 255 and the offset is pretty close 37 vs 35. although the tire diameter would be a little different. hopefully some other people will respond soon

What makes you say that? I'm currently running 18x8.5 ET35 with 245/40/18's all the way around with no issue. Granted, this is a really tall tire (I'm on stock, non-sport suspension) and with very little camber up front (-0.20) but it fits just fine. There is very little clearance with the lower spring perch given the height of the tire, but other than that, if you get your wheel offset and camber right and use a proper ratio tire, it shouldn't be an issue to get 255 up front IMO.
