What adjustments if I mount tires/wheels
In terms of suspension, wheels, tires, my 08 135i is stock.. On the way however are 4 Apex Ec-7 (18x8.5 et45) and (18x9.5 et58) as well as two 265/35/18 MPSS and two 235/40/18 Conti. DW I plan on getting them mounted and balanced on the rims well before i have to register my car and something to get done while is snowy outside.
My question is can i mount these on the car myself without an modification to the alignment settings like camber and such? Or is it necessary for myself or the shop in this case to do it as I have no clue as to how it would be done?

The DWS is an all season tire, but Michelin PSS is a summer tire AFAIK. That's an unusual combination which might not be very good in winter conditions.
The 235/40/18 front tire is bigger and wider than the stock size on the front. I suggest its a good idea to test fit the front tires and also to drive the car with over bumps and some steep driveway to check if there is good clearance on the front fenders. As long as its not going to touch anywhere, then you don't need any other adjustments to your wheel alignment. |

The car will be strictly driven in the summer, I'm just modifying it while it's winter here and it's not registered. The fronts don't need to be super sticky like the MPSS and i'd like to save some cash so i went with a highly rated summer Conti. tire. Both tires are wider than the stock ones i've gone over fitment with the rep from the tire rack and apex.. all is good.. I'm just curious if theres any adjustment i will need to do after i return from the tire shop with the rims/tires to put on my car.
