215/35 on an 18 is the norm.
225/35 on an 18 your ET needs to be greater than 51 |

Smaller means it will stick out more and more likely to rub

On mine it is the corner of the tyre that rubs currently, because of issues and lack of wheels and tyre combinations that fit over brembos i have decided a slightly different path.
What surprised me was everything was ok until i did brembo conversion on rear, the discs must alter the offset ever so slightly.

Time to buy tyres for the beemer wtf is it with this car narrowed it down to Avon ZZ5 or Rainsport 3 to good tyre choice that has superb grip in the wet aswell as dry grip .

Just got 4x Goodyear Eagle F1 assy 3's in 225/40/18 with rim protectors from blackcircles for £303 which I didnt think was too bad. Could be another option? But I take it the rears on the Beemer to be quite wide?
