Hey guys

got gifted a set of pilot super sports
295/35/15

just wondering if it's possible to fit these on a 135i (stock suspension)

assuming fenders will need widening but how much ?

if unknown what's the largest tires you'd recommend without rubbing

Largest tyres you can fit without mods are 255/35 R18 and 225/40 R18s.

That what I have on mine and the Michelins PS 4s are great. One of the best changes I made to my car

any idea on how wide id need to go to fit the 295? is there a tool for this ?

Rim has to be at least 10.5 inches thick to fit 295. Ideally 11 to 11.5 inches.

Assuming, you are talking just about the rear wheels... You'll need to roll fenders and either run spacers or have an offset around 0 on 10.5" rims (stock offset is +52?).

That is assuming that the tyre profile will even fit (i.e. tyres too thick for height)... Tyre will be about 2cm thicker on all sides... which will probably fit but may rub when suspension is compressed. Also your ride height will be that 2cm higher. 295/30 would have been a better fit.

Front wheels will have even bigger problems fitting than rear wheels...

Was thinking on running a clinched setup
which would widen track significantly

7cm wider in the front and 10cm wider in the back from stock
