[QUOTE="Stud_Daddy, post: 7434, member: 2152"] My 318i has been lowered (Eibach) + 18" rims. The current rear tyre width is 235, and front is 225. The alignment shop dude told me that 318i's should not exceed 225, especially with lowered springs because of fender side contact (which I've been feeling over bumps). Is the alignment shop dude correct? Should I downgrade the rear tyre's to 225? My rims seem bulging out......someone told me that they look like Z4 rims !!By the way.....over bumps, I'm also not entirely sure if its really the rear tyre hitting the fender sides, or if its the top of the tyres hitting the inner wheel arch. Anyone has any advise? If its the second case, then the argument of 235 being too wide is false I suppose. [/QUOTE]
