BMW F30 335ix wheel and tires spec
Hey guys, I have BMW f30 335ix and I am looking into running wheel 18x9.5 ET 35 with tires 265 or 275. I am also going to put KW V3 coilovers with camber plate. I was wondering if I will have issues? Can you guys post pictures of what you are running, wheel and tire specs please.
Thanks in advance.

I run an 18x9.5 ET 38 for lapping (275 wide) and ET 35 for autox (265 wide) You will need to roll your front fenders to fit a 275. Pics of a 275 in the rear, then up front with a 15mm and 20mm spacer to see the gap between the tire and coilover assembly...make sure your front springs are no taller than 7". mine are 8" and you can see that its close with a 275 wide tire...

you'll need a small spacer in the front to clear the coilovers. 10mm spacer up front is adequate. some folks run a bit less, some a bit more. the rears will fit no problem...No fender rolling is required to fit the 265s

yes sir...i was changing springs so while the car was up i took some pics. im using a 15mm spacer in the front. as you can see im not at max negative camber. If i were, the tire would be tucked in way more, almost flush with the fender. my front fenders are not rolled and at full negative camber, there is no rubbing.

I have used a 20mm spacer up front with a ET38 and 9.5" wide wheel, 265mm tire...no fender rolling required and no rubbing when negative camber is maxed out. my sway bars are dinans set to the stiffest setting at the time and i was running 397lbs/in (7kg/mm) springs in the front. All these are considerations that limit the "headache" factor (i.e. fender rolling, rubbing on coilovers, etc.) hope this helps. |

keep in mind that i am running aggressive springs all round which prevent the fenders from making contact with the tires. you may want to pay particular attention to your wheel offset in the rear. with a the 19" and a 265 tire, I would be looking at an ET 38 or higher. the 265 will be a bit stretched on a 9.5" wheel so the sidewalls will tuck in a bit.
