Help! Will 235 front and 265 rear tires work on Stock E90 330i SPORT ?
I'm replacing all four tires after bending and repairing my passenger side E90 330i SPORT wheels. The place where I decided to buy my tires didn't have correct 225 40 18 and 255 35 18 sizes in stock, and said that the 235 front and 265 rear (one width wider on each) should work fine,..so I bought them.
I have two mounted and they look like they might touch when the suspension compresses. Everything is stock on my car, it is a factory SPORT package, so it sits lower than the 330i non sport and I have the stock 330i sport 18" alloys. I had the wheel repair shop mount up the new front 235 40 and rear 265 35 tires since it was no charge. Looking at them,....they look to be about 1/2" wider than the stockers in front,...I turned the wheel to full lock in each direction in the air, then again on the ground,...and I don't see anything rubbing,.....drove it back and forth in the driveway with full lock in each direction,......I dont hear any rubbing. Neither of these addresses how things fit when the suspension is compressed,....so HOPING SOMEONE HERE HAS RUN THESE TIRE SIZES AND CAN TELL ME IF THEY WORK OK. I'm anxious to get my car back together and on the road,....but I'm going to wait until I get confimation from someone here that these will not rub.

On an 07 e92 run 275/245 and perfect, on 19's. Used to run 285's but rubbed even w rolled finders. Run the Miro 111 with standard offset and stock sport suspension. You should be fine I think.
Go big my friend!
