Tire help

I have 18 x 8.5 and 18 x 9.5 on my 07 E90 sport. Stock ride height stock tires are pretty stretched.

Can I go 245/40 front and 275/35 rear? I will NOT lower the car. ET is 35 all around.

Can I make it work? I t "looks" like there is enough room.

7mm LESS clearance on the strut side, and the outside edge of the wheel will EXTEND an extra 5mm. On the front

You should be fine

the rears

11mm LESS clearance on the strut side, and the outside edge of the wheel will EXTEND an extra 15mm

You might want to try a spacer. and a 265 maybe?

The wheels are already on and fit fine.

I have stock tire sizes on it now and they look pretty stretched...that's why I was thinking those sizes.

Anyone else have any input?
