Going to be ordering some Bimmerworld ta5rs in 18x9 et42 soon. I know you can fit 255s square but what about 265s in the rear how close do you guys think it’ll be? I’m on BC coils so I’m not too worried about the front. I’m also going to roll the fenders. I’m thinking maybe with a slight pull in the rear the 265s will fit?

I tried a few different things trying to get a 265 upfront and alas no luck, in the rear it’s doable

I run 265s in the rear with 18x9 et 47 no fender work needed. 42 will be tight if you're lowered.

I'm on a conti Extremcontact Sport 265/35/18 on Dinan springs and KW dampers pretty low. 18x9.5xET45 with the slightest amount of superficial immediate sidewall rub from the edge of the fender liner. Like literally just enough to polish the sidewall just inside from the tread thats it. I'm running 1.9 degrees camber in the rear. I have never heard a noise or felt it even doing donuts or with a full set of 4 passengers + luggage.

Do you think I could fit a 265 in the rear with a 18x9 ET42? It looks like the wheel will be about 3mm further inside according to calculators. I just don't know about tire bulge

That would probably be ideal just watch your inner strut tower and clearance, I know mine is tight as is with 45 but don't remember if it was mm or more. Worst case you can put a 2-3mm spacer in and definitely be clear. Go for it.

I run a 265/35/18 rear as well on 18x9.5 et45. Lowered on HR springs and running 2.4 deg camber. Very tight fitment and got the slightest fender liner rub passenger side initially on install which has gone away.

I ended up going with 18x9.5 et 43 so just barely further out than your setup. I think I'm going to pull the fenders slightly and get a little more clearance. I'm assuming your rear control arms are stock?

Yeah rear control arms are stock. A fender pull is pretty much all you can do since its already rolled. Will be somewhat noticeable though
