Hey guys, I'm about to buy a set of Introforged wheels for my 1993 325is. I want to make sure that these sizes will fit without rubbing on my stock suspension, and what may need to be done if I get Bavarian Autosport springs at a later date. The specs I have so far are these:

18 x 9 rears
18 x8.5 front
235/40/18 tire all around

Is this the correct tire size even for a 9 inch rear? I have seen most run 225/40/18 all around but I have heard that 235s will fit. What are the benefits? Thanks in advance!

235's may not be wide enough for a 9" rim. I would get at least a 245 for the back, it should fit depending on the offset of the rim.
