I am putting new wheels on my E. They are 18x8,5 all around with 255- 40/18 Continentals. Will these fit without any rubbing issues?

Hi Piranajoe,

I have actually got 18X8.5 in the front and 9.5 in the rear with 245 up front and 285 in the rear...no rubbing. Just a mean looking profile. Enjoy!

Thanks,
I was told that the extra 10mm on the tires I have may rub , but I will try them.
