stock wheels, spacers... what new tires?
ok, i tried searching for specifics, but i couldn't find anything really.
i am running the stock 264 wheels. i purchased 10mm & 12mm spacers. i want to replace the runflats with new tires. i am looking at either Nitto NT555, Hankook v12 or Sumitomo HTRZ III (probably these). all most likely if they fit 225/40/18 and 255/35/18 will this fit with the stock suspension set up? which tire would work better? what tire do you prefer? any suggestions? i only need a decent performing summer tire to last me about 20k miles. i have dedicated winters. thanks for the help!

according to the FAQ page those tires should fit without modification. You may have to ditch the spacers. (in which case let me know.... I'm looking for spacers).
I run Hankook on my 128i in a 205/50/17 (stock size for now) and they are pretty awesome. I use to be able to break the back end of my car loose pretty much when ever I wanted with the RTF, not so any more. The tires really do preform well, even if it is really cold outside (30F this morning). |

I'm running the stock wheels with 225/40 Hankook v12's up front with a 12mm spacer. I'm lowered on Eibach springs and rub a little on extreme dips. I would recommend a 10mm spacer if you're lowered and don't want to rub. I still have 245/35 out back w/o spacers, so no problems there.

To play it safe I'd get a 10mm front spacer and 8mm rear with the tire setup you listed.
