2009 335xi rears of 255 vs 265
From what I am reading around here, the 255/35R18 8.5" fits the rear just fine (naturally) but that a 265/30R18 9.0" is jusssst enough to rub without rolling the fenders during full travel?

What offset? Depending on the offset a 265/35/18 should be fine in the rear. 30 profile is a bit short.

Actually, I'm new to all this, so my answer is I do not know.
My dealer told me the style 287 for my year is/was not available, but instead suggested style 189; the rear they said was 255/35r18 8.5" and would fit. I did not ask what is the offset or if the 265 would fit, but the few posts I have seen on here with a 2009 335xi and 265's in the rear people are talking about fenders rubbing. If I look for aftermarket rims, should the manufacturer be able to tell me what offset I need with their rim and 265 rear? Last edited by fordperf; 10-12-2012 at 09:32 PM.. |

Too tall for a non-M car and would likely rub.

Fitting a 275/35/18 on the front of an E9x is very tough with out excessive negative camber and fender modifications. A good square set up for an E9x would consist of the 18x9" ET31 with a 245/40/18 tire or a 255/35/18 if you have negative camber achieved through camber plates or pulled alignment pins on your stock strut mounts.

Unless the tires are of a specific design that the sidewall treads are angled inward a little to offset this. |
