The 245s will definitely fit, and the 265s will probably fit, though not optimal on a 8.5" wheel.

BFG has 245/40/18 as well (drag radials)

Check Nitto NT555s

NT555Rs are the real tire you want, but you'd need to go down to 17" wheels

ive got the 555's on 17s now but wanted to keep stock look and run the drag radials all the time

You really only need the rears, correct? (thinking about NT555Rs)But even then, the thinnest they have is 285s. Since you already have the 17s, you could go with NT555Rs on the rear.

What wheel does BMW use (thinking OEM sleeper look) on the 17" all season tire package for the 135i? (probably a thinner wheel).

yeah the 17s i got are 17x8s perfect fit for the 245. I thought I was only going to use them to go to the track but now I think Id like to keep them on full time while keeping the factory sleeper look/

DRs dont come in 245/35s

[driver91]

im thinking after I do the rear with the auto ratio i will have more than enough gear even with the larger 18's

Theoretically, yes.

However 245/40/18 is the same rolling diameter as 245/45/17. The latter is the preferred tyre size of most of the fastest 135's getting around the place at the moment. They don't seem to have too much of a problem with it.

I see that now. maybe Ill just up the size in the rear for my street set up
