Help with rear 255/35-18 to go with existing front 225/40-18

Hi,

I have a 2007 E91 6MT (purchased end of summer). Front is 225/40-18 and rear is 255/35-18. Currently have winter tires Blizzak WS80 and need to change. The car came with two brand new Hankook Ventus2 Concept2 that fit the front. I went to TR to purchase matching rear and it looks like these aren't made in 255/35-18. I have the Hankooks already and they are brand new so I'd like to use them. What should I put on the rear?

Many Thanks!

You'll need 255/35/18 or 225/40/18 then. All other sizes won't work with the front since xdrive.

Many thanks, sir. Is there a specific 255/35/18 that you can recommend to pair with the front Hankook Ventus2 Concept2? It looks like these are rather low-budget.
