need tire size recommendation

[BSM 135i]

how's it going guys i'm in need of new tires, i'm running VMR VB3's staggered setup 18"x8.5" +40 fronts & 18"x9.5" +45 rears wrapped with stock runflats 215/40/18 fronts & 245/35/18 rears and lowered on H&R sport springs with stock sport shocks. i get NO rubbing at all with my current setup and just want the tires a little wider but with also NO rubbing, so what sizes will work? I also want to ditch going with another run flat tire. THANKS!!

Also if anyone here has the hook up on tires, hook a brotha up! :D

check with EAS in terms of fitment and they have a close relationship with VMR, Yokohama AD08 are excellent tires!!

Since you're getting new tires. Sign up for the track at Mfest V. If you need help. There will be plenty instructors.

spoke with charles over at VMR and he said he recommends 225/40 front and a 245/35 rear, anything wider will require fender work...what do ya'll think??

trust me, you're good! I've seen some terrible drivers on the track. Ask Albert and Joseph!
You'll do just fine. Just get that helmet from your buddies and some AD-08 and you're good!

What's your setup?

[anthony @ eas]

Here is our 135i running:

VMR VB3 18x8.5; 225/40/18 AD08
VMR VB3 18x9.5; 255/35/18 AD08

The car is lowered on KW V3 Coilovers and this set-up required significant fender rolling to prevent any rubbing.

Thanks Anthony, if I where to just run 225/40/18 up front and stick with stock sizes in the rear 245/35/18 do you think I'll get any rubbing up front with my current suspension setup?

bout to test my track set up which is 245 front / 255 rear. Have some spacers up front and camber plates going on. Most likely will need to lift the car a few mm since I am pretty slammed...we will see and i will update!
