My suspension is all stock and is a RWD no xdrive
255/40/18 is 26", 255/45/18 is 27"

it will fit without issue however a taller(gearing) heavier tire will negatively impact your acceleration if you care. the larger sidewall will also make your the 18" look smaller.

i'd recommend 245/40/18 on the 18x8 up front and 255/40/18 on the 18x8.5" rear for non x-drive m-sport.
