Will a 305 fit in the rear of an e90?

I could get a nice set of tires for pretty damn cheap i just need to know if they will fit.


Right now iam running Oz ultraleggras 40et all around with a 255 oem RFT and their super tucked in with a 12mm spacer.


Can i fit a 305 in the rear?
and a 255 in the front ? on an e90 with sport package ( stock height)

Either way, 305 will require fender putting and camber adjustments to work. It is an extremely aggressive tire.

Is your rear 20x11 4.5" Lip? If yes, you can fit a big 305 tire on the back. nice and wide

i have messed around with this idea on the 335 and some other cars I have owned and would politely suggest you do NOT do it. PM me for more details...

It truly throws the car off balance, but darn does it look sweet from the rear LOL

I would think 285 would be the largest in the rear , maybe a 295. And a good fender roll.

305/40/18 are huge and you can't fit 305 on wheels that now has 255.
