Rear tire help

mclt197 · 02-18-2020, 10:01 PM

Hi guys I'm looking to upgrade my tires, I have super deep concave F14s on my e92 335 in the rear currently on a 255 40 18. I know I shouldn't have gotten 40 but that's all that was available for the tire I wanted at the time. Anyways they're too tall and skinny for the rear plus they rub. I want a wider fatter tire for the rear and was thinking 275/35/18 or should i go with 265 instead? Any help or suggestions would be great.

Fronts are 225/35/18 semi deep. Would you suggest changing the fronts as well?

Thank you for the help!

Stop trying to fit too large a tire on it or you'll continue to have issues. I went up one size to 235/40/18 and 265/35/18 when I replaced my runflats and have no issues even when carrying gear.

275 is safe on coupe.

I personally would stick with 265. It's a fact you won't have any issues.
