265/35/18 for fronts too big?

persian54 · 02-03-2010, 09:50 PM

I am thinking of getting 285/30/18 for my rear

and I was thinking of putting 265/35/18 in the front..
would that be too big though?
what about 255/45/18?
Rear is 10 in wide, front is 9 in wide

Thanks

I'm not sure there is an offset/height combination that will make that possible...even the 255s...

DFW_MThree · 02-03-2010, 10:39 PM

i think with 255 35 you should be good depending on how low you are

persian54 · 02-04-2010, 12:34 AM

so far stock height
but I plan to drop the front as right now, I have a 3 finger gap.. yeah it's a HUGE gap

I have 255/35 front now with zero problem... too much space actually...

rear is pretty solid at 285
though it's 275 now, since the 285s got a nail
but I'll def go back up to 285

Seems like a little too much rubber up front.

e90 can fit more no?

FotiosF90M5 · 02-04-2010, 11:24 AM

dinan fits that kind of rubber up front with a 9in wide wheel. They use a spacer I believe though. It should make for better turn in grip.

HFe92 · 02-06-2010, 07:00 PM

i think 265 for the front is too big. never seen anyone done that before especially n the e9x

FotiosF90M5 · 02-06-2010, 09:03 PM

265's front. DINAN

Check the tracking forum. Plenty of people use 265s up front. I run 255s no problem on my track setup.

but you're riding an e90:/

marcel b · 02-08-2010, 11:41 AM

I think 265 is a bit too much to squeze in there, especially if you do not have any camberplates.(?) I am driving about 2.8degrees negative camber in the front and 245 semislicks (wider then standard tire) fit with ease. So in my track set-up I will go to 265 on a 9x18 wheel which I already test fitted, but not yet testdrove. It is really a very tight fit!
For the street 265 would be too wide for me. I'm thinking about 255 or 245 square on 9x18.

lpphreakx06 · 02-08-2010, 12:55 PM

I have that for my rear wheels and swap it to the fronts, it didn't work out.

persian54 · 02-08-2010, 05:11 PM

yeah I think I'll stick with 245 or 255s...

thanks everyone
