Is this an OK setup?

I have an 08' 335XI Sedan. I recently ordered 18X8.5F/18X10R Forgestar F14's. The tires im being told to run are 235/40/18 F and 265/35/18 R. I also am on a Eibach Pro Kit.

This seems alittle close to me. Is anyone currently running this setup? Will i have any issues with rubbing or anything?

Thanks alot!

That's pretty much the norm. Most rears are 9.5 though. Go to forgestars website or check out their thread. The 265 may be a little to stretched on the 10. Just depends on the tire. I saw 265 general's on 10's that looked nice and square.

18x10 rear is easily fitted to a Prelci, do you have a Pre or LCI 2008?

Ok, roll the fenders and run a 265/35 or you can run a 275/30 for more beef.

They can tailor the offsets to you, so an aggressive offset will need a fender roll (will look better)

I was told the offsets of the wheels are determined by the experts at Forgestar.
