Biggest Tires ?

msillito · 04-07-2010, 07:46 PM

What are the biggest tires I could fit on the stock 18" wheels on my 2009 e92 m3?

maybe 285/35/18 in the back (smaller diameter though), but that may look a little weird. 275/40/18 should be no problem (slightly larger diameter though).

same for front -20mm

I have 295/35/18 PS'2 in the rear... No issues.

yes but is that on 9.5'' rims? I doubt it...

For 9.5" max is 285.

Considering some autocrossers are squeezing 285/30-18 DOT R-compounds on 8.5" wheels (which have much stiffer sidewalls and run wider than PS2's), I'd say a 295/35 with taller sidewalls should fit on a 9.5" just fine. Fender clearance I have no idea about, but I'm 100% confident that you can get a 295/35-18 on an 18x9.5" wheel without doing any unnatural acts.

Filin - Any pictures?
