Can I fit 235 or 245 tyres to an 8 x 18" Rim?

Will 235 or 245 tyres fit on the 8" rim of my 330i without bulging?

I usually check the manufacturer’s website for specifications on the recommended wheels widths

Yes, both widths have a minimum rim width of 8". Will be anywhere from slightly not squared, to slightly more than squared depending on the tire and manufacturer....

Remember that the 5 series has 245 tires on 8x18, so you can fit 235 or 245 on a 8x18.

Yes, that will work... I have squeezed 255's on my winter wheels before that were 18x8's.
