would be concerned about rub in the rear...also acceleration will suffer...as you make the gearing a little taller....but it will probably correct the built-in BMW speedo error.

disagree on narrower is better in the front. I run 275s up front and the car handles much better.

JL

Wider is better but not the front, wider front hurts steering. Even cars like F360 doesn't go 245 in the front.

I mean to said 240x45x18 up front. the idea is to change from x40 to x45 for the front and from x35 to x40 in back. Main goal to increase the height of the tire a little to reduce possible potholes damages.
