Will 265/35/18 fit in the front? Anyone done any fender rolling?

I am looking to get some Dunlop Direzza Zii for the track, but not sure if a square setup will fit. I'm looking to run 265/35/18 in the front. I'm willing to roll the fender, but not sure if it will fit.

I will probably wind up with Apex EC7 or ARC8 wheels.

A tire that wide in the front well do nothing but hurt your scrub radius. I can almost guarantee something in the power steering system will fail.

Huh? Thousands of people this platform run 265 square setups. It helps improve turn-in on tracks, provides more overall grip, and reduces understeer. The power steering handles it just fine.

My question was whether it will fit on the X1, since it is a different wheel well than the 335/135 where people run them.

I can't really help you with a answer.

Try http://www.willtheyfit.com/ so you have a idea how much further your rim will go to the outside (or little to the inside as well).

265 is a lot in the front but can't say if it possible or not or if it is still healthy for the xdrive and steering.

Good luck

i don't think you will need to roll the fender with 18's if you have not drop your ride... if its slammed like wantm135 then maybe, but with a spring drop it should be fine...

hey man iam running 255/35-19 and a 15mm spacer all around, if you run a 265/30-18 no problem if on stock camber. that extra hight in the side wall at 265/35 might be to much the 265/30-18 would be perfect for the track.
