IMO, these size tires look perfect on the 1er, and I have not encountered any clearance or performance issues.

My guess is most E8x with stock or mild suspension setup would have no problem with the majority of street tires available in E90 OEM sport sizes.

The main challenge for E8x chassis would come from:
1. Most track tire widths (increased width despite having the advertised OEM width)
*and/or*
2. aggressive suspension setup
*and/or*
3. aggressive wheel sizes/offsets

At that point, all cards are off the table

What size tires did you run on your e90 ?

225/35ZR18 and 255/35ZR18 ???
OEM size
225/40R18 front
255/35R18 rear

I believe the difference of front-to-rear tire circumference as you mentioned (225/35 and 255/35) might be too far out of OEM spec?

Nothing is impossible though

I did read your post on the full-size spare tire and wheel...thanks for sharing that info. Perfectly sized for the E8x.
