255/35/18 will fit in the front of 335is?
This question is only for 335is owners, because of the vents in the front of the wheel wells. I already know they fit on other models.
I'm on Dinan springs, so not lowered that much. Has anyone tried 255/35/18 in the front? Same logic applies to 255/30/19 and 255/40/17. Please let me know if you've tried any of these sizes on your 335is, and if you had any problems. Planning on mounting them on 9" wheels, 30 offset. Last edited by mawzi; 03-13-2019 at 04:48 PM.. |

I have 18x9 et30 ARC-8s up front with 255/35/18 Pilot Super Sports. At full lock (I can't remember which way) it rubs on that vent in the wheel well. I just unwind the wheel a quarter turn and it goes away, but it's a pretty stupid problem to have. I'm on the stock M sport suspension.
Problem is 235 is barely an improvement over stock (and kind of a stretch on 9" wheels) and 245 doesn't have the correct diameter no matter what sidewall ratio you go with. So I just roll with it (no pun intended). |

I don't mind little rubbing at full lock. Seems like a small problem. I'll be getting Indy 500 which have a curvier sidewall. Hopefully it will help as well. Also, what's your camber in the front? |

18x9.5 et 35 wrapped in 265/35/18 Super Sports. I'd like to go 275 back there eventually but I didn't for some reason (I think there's rubbing potential? Can't remember).

I'm getting new tires in the next few days. Currently, I'm running the following:
Apex Arc-8 Michelin Pilot Super Sports 18x9 et30, 245/40 5mm spacer to clear Öhlins R&T coilovers) 18x9.5 et35, 265/35 Fenders not rolled. I'm dropped as far as Öhlins can go, but will probably raise them soon, though. With 245/40 up front, I get no rubbing during normal or spirited driving. There's only ONE hard dip on the freeway that will cause rubbing on the fronts, which I've learned to slow for. Front passenger will rub on full lock (wheel turned left) when backing up due to the oil cooler vent. But like someone mentioned, back off a bit and it won't rub. Do it enough and it'll just shave it down over time. My new set-up will be 255/35 front and 265/35 (again) rear. I'll grab some pics and report back after I get my new set.

No rubbing when backing up full lock? You have an e92, right?

Just looking at these pics makes me believe you haven't hit a hard enough bump yet. The tire sidewall is farther than the edge of the fender!
