    I'm reviving this old thread.

    I was running a set of 255/35/18's in the rear but those were shredded so I went with 255/40/18 in the rear and now I'm rubbing a little more than I expected but nothing too major. The only reason I went with the 255/40/18 is because thats what came on my car when I bought it. Then I switched to the 255/35's so I figured going back to 255/40 wouldn't be an issue. The fronts are 235/40/18 with 18x8.5 et34 BBS CK's on all 4 corners.

    I planned on rolling my fenders anyways so I could lower the car a little more so now I'm curious if running a 255/40 in the rear will be an issue. I'm also curious if running these tires will throw off my speedo at all.

    Thanks in advance!

    Largest Wheel/Tire Sizes with Stock BMW 330 ZHP Suspension?

    I think that difference doesn't match size though does it JP? The fronts will be larger than the rears in diameter.


    I ran 235/265 combo on mine and it was pretty full.

    IIRC it's a 1.6% difference biased to the front, my thinking was that the slightly extra sidewall will help make the ride a little softer. I'll eventually put the 17" style 68s I have on so there is more cushion, I just haven't had time to get around to it. Also, I drive the E21 most of the time so it's not a huge priority for me to change them at the moment

    Peter, no spacers.

    The wheels in my sig are running 19x10 ET41 with 265/30/19 rear, 19x8 ET35 with 235/35/19 front. Needed pretty major rolling to make clearance in the rear.

    Can I run a 255/35R19 on a 19x8.5 ET43 square set, or would it make sense to drop it down to 255/30R19, or to a 245 wide tire?

    EDIT: Stock ZHP suspension, maybe coilovers at some point. Not afraid of getting into some fender rolling or adding spacers if I have to.
