245/45 R18 On Front of e90

Sweattdogg · 02-07-2012, 09:43 AM

Hello All,
Looking at some snow shoes from an e60. Wheels are 20mm Offset all 4. They are the house brand for Tire Rack called "Sport Edition A7". Would be a square setup running 245/45 all corners. That's bigger in the front. Wondering if anyone else has done the same thing. Only reason I'm interested is the are going cheap on craigslist.

Front of the M3 is fairly tight clearance as far as height. 245/45R18 might rub because it's about 1" too large in overall diameter up front. 245/40R18 or 235/40R18 would be best. 255/40R18 fits the car, but wants an 8.5" wide wheel.

Hello Ben,
I appreciate it. I have a jeep to get me through this winter, but it will be sold in the spring.
Thanks!
Aaron
