Throwing bigger tires on e90? Good idea?

autobimmer · 12-07-2018, 11:55 AM

Hi everyone,

Looking for some opinions on if what im looking to do is firstly safe and if so is it a good idea.

I have a 2008 328i RWD sedan with all seasons on and am looking to put winters on for the upcoming season. I have a spare set of winters that I use for my g35x which are 245/45/18.

Now if i was to slap those onto my 328i would I have any rubbing or problems? The car is stock and has not been lowered or modified.

Any answers and opinions are much appreciated. Thank you.

The best way to figure it out is try this tool:

Then measure your car.

Highly doubt they will fit, too tall. You would need 245/40/18.
