255/40/18 on E90 LCI
Is this possible? I've got stock 18" rims running 255/35 and am wondering if I can increase profile. Overall diameter increase is 1", so would only decrease fender clearance by 1/2". It looks like I have the room, but wanted to check first.

Depends on what else you're running (M3 arms, spacers, etc.). Biggest problem will be in the front; bottom spring perch distance from top of tire will be your biggest issue. If you use spacers to push it out to avoid interference, then you likely run into fender clearance issues...then fender liner issues, etc.
At the end of the day I'm sure you'll be told it can't be done...you could always buy/mount just one 255/40 and test fit on all four corners though. If it doesn't work, at least you won't be in the hole too bad. |

Was just meaning for the rear. Would be very impressive for the front. Looks like I have plenty of room to go up a profile in the front 225/40 to 225/45 to match.

YES 255 40 18 in the back no probs. I have 225 45 18 in the front.....but it rubs the fender liner ever so slightly...... it doesn't anymore after a few months of tyre wear. A safer option would be 235 40 18 if u don't want it to rub.

Where/when does it rub? Only full lock or in revers?

Pretty sure he is commenting on the 225/45/18 in the front. I just test fit 245/40/18 in the front on stock suspension and it rubbed on full lock (probably would have been fine). Extra .3" in diameter would rub a decent amount unless non-port xdrive suspension.
