275/35/18PS2s fit on front with an 18X9

BARELY. Feels pretty much what I was after. Getting more than 9 inches under there is tough. The rear is open, but the fatest matching rim is 9.5"

Wow! That's insane, in a good way! Any issues with rubbing (U-turns, dips, etc)?

Is your car lowered?

Completely stock suspension. I have not been able to get it to rub the arm, but i haven't been that aggresive yet.

Any plans to lower?

If so, I hope it still works out for you!

Thumbs up 265's Work!!

jangy - About a year ago there was a forum member with an E55 that was using 265 tires on the front with a set of OEM Rear AMG Wheels for Time Trialing and said this set up took a lot of the Under Steer out of the Car. He had no issues with rubbing, even while on the track in extreme conditions.
