Howdy guys,

I am in the market for new wheels to replace a set of VMR710s. I'm contemplating going with 18" wheels so that I can run a taller tire (>= 35) for better ride quality. I would like to run a 225 or wider tire on the front, if possible. I do not want to rub, but I am lowered, so am seeking guidance on wheels and tires. When I rub now the rear bumper section pushes out and a small amount of rubber residue is left on the top of the outermost section of the wheel well.

2012 135i:
Eibach Prokit springs
Koni yellow shocks (rear 80% firm)
M3 rear subframe bushings

Currently:
front (does not rub): VMR710 19" x 8.5" ET45 Michelin Pilot Super Sport 225/35ZR19
rear (rubs): VMR710 19" x 9.5" ET45 Michelin Pilot Super Sport 255ZR35/19

Previously:
front (does not rub): VMR710 19" x 8.5" ET45 Yokahama S.drive 225/30ZR19
rear (does not rub): VMR710 19" x 8.5" ET45 Yokahama S.drive 245/30ZR19

Proposed:
front: 18" x 8.5" ET45 Michelin PSS 245/35ZR18
rear: 18" x 9" ET45 Michelin PSS 255/35ZR18

Thoughts on wheel and tire selection?

Thanks!
