I found it interesting to see the German spec M-Sportpaket lists tires are 215/40/18 F and 245/35/18 R. Those tires are close to the 225F/255R for the 335i Sport. I know that car (and my e90 330i) have a good bit of room both in the front and rear. I'm hoping I can go 255 on all 4 corners with the 135. Offsets will definitely play a part in what we can stuff in the wheelwells in these cars.

I also find it interesting that both Hoosier (A6) and Kumho (V710) make tires in 245/35/18, plus there's a great selection of non-runflats to choose from.
