Replacement tire sizes on 07 335 Conv.?

GaryR · 06-15-2009, 11:53 AM

My front two Potenza RE050A RF's have bubbles and i'm pretty sure Bridgestone will do nothing as they have approx 18K on them (approx because car has 35K and I have had a 2nd set of pure snows/rims for winter). The RFT's will be history, what is a good replacement tire and size (width being the more important question) that will work on my OEM 18" wheels? It has 225/40 and 255/35's on her now, thinking 235 and 265...

Thanks in advance for any help.

I did, read all the different posts on wheel and tire swaps, etc. etc. and didn't find an answer. I'll make the question more specific.

Will my going to 235/40/R18 and 265/35/R18 in Falken 452's (or any other non-RFT tire) cause me any rubbing on a stock 335Ci (Sport Package)? I was about to pull the trigger but I really don't want an issue. Same dealer has the stock rear size on backorder so I have time anyway..

Using the (fantastic!) tool at the top of the page tells me I will have 9mm less inside and 3mm less outside clearance. Can't imagine that being an issue but figured quite a few have already been down this road..
