Ordered new tires today

Miller335 · 09-05-2015, 01:50 PM

Been on RFT's since I bought the car two years ago.
Just locked in pilot super sports 225/40/18 for the front and 265/35/18's in the rear for $800 after a $100 rebate.

I'm excited to get to experience this car with some real tires on it.

Does anyone know if my 15mm spacers in the rear will cause rubbing issues with PSS 265's?

PSS run wide so a 265 PSS is more like some other manufacturers 275 so they might rub depending on the wheel offset.

I have stock sport wheels and suspension, hope they fit.

+1 on PSS being a little wider. I kept stock sport sizes on my 335is (tad lower than regular 335i). I rub on inclines with the wheel turned about 1/2 way.

I run PSS 275s in back and 235s up front and my car is lowered and I have zero issues with rubbing.

Yes, 265's will rub on OEM wheels. Even 12.5 spacer rubs. Had to pull the spacers when I went to PSS.
Don't regret it for a minute.

I figured if it came down to it that's what I'd do also.
Thanks for the heads up.
