    128i sport package 18" staggered setup fitment

    Running style 263 18" staggered width wheels, stock with Sport package on CDN 128i 2011 (listed as M-sport suspension on option sheet via VIN lookup)

    Stock tires are summer runflat 215/40/18 front and 245/35/18 rear -- which are a spot-on circumference match at 815 revs/mile. But I'm finding them a hard size combo to find in replacement tires.

    Summers are tough up here in Ottawa where weather hits unexpectedly sometimes. Having been caught out on summer tires once or twice years ago, I'd like to go to all season and also not runflat to improve ride a little.

    Looking at probably Michelin Pilot Sport AS.

    My question is, will I have rubs with 225/40/18 front and 255/35/18 rear, with this setup? The revs are within 2, so I'm happy there.

    Also, are there any other combos people might recommend that are relatively easy to find in the market, with this setup?

    Thanks all

    Ok, that's encouraging.

    Which tires are you running and how do you like them?

    I got thinking about it -- this is my first experience with profiles this low.... roads are crap around here... would run-flats be more resistant to damaging rims in potholes? I've always changed off runflats on my other bmw's but they were all 50 or 55 series tires on 16" rims, not 35 and 40 series on 18".
