Will 235 40 18 and 265 35 18 tires fit on my stock 06 sport 330i

bcolins · 11-07-2014, 10:23 PM

2006 E90 330i Sport. Stock height and stock wheels. I curbed both my right side wheels and tires pretty hard. Having the wheels repaired and doing new tires front and rear. Can I fit 235 40 18s in front and 265 35 18s in the rear? I found those sizes at a pretty attractive price.

Yes! I had those sizes on my ride.

It really depends on the manufacturer, too.

Those sizes almost always fit. I haven't seen a case of them rubbing in a very long time.

Got them mounted up. Seem good to go so far. Fill the wheel wells a bit better.

Technically 8.5 width wheels aren't rated for anything wider than 255. Hell you can look at recommended wheel sizes for 265s on any 265 tire right on tirerack.com. Theres a 99.98% chance it will work fine but if you happen to be part of that 0.02% who exhibits the exact wheel/tire/condition mismatch that warranted them placing that 255 max restriction don't say nobody ever said anything.
