Has anyone ran 245/50/18 on the stock 18s??? I am thinking about putting 245/50/18 all around for the winter. This will give u MUCH higher clearance.

BTW, I am lowered a quarter inch with vogtland springs. Have a 545i.


I think I'll go have 245/45/18...mebbe better than 245/50/18


did more research. 245/50/18 cannot fit on a 9 inch wheel.
