245 Fronts?

Wondering if I can fit an 8.5in x 18in et45 with a 245/35/R18 up front on a non-m z4. I also will soon be installing the Bilstein B12 kit. So, will this wheel and tire combo fit when lowered on eibachs? Any feedback is appreciated.

Unlikely to fit. See https://www.zpost.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1774962
I have 18x9 ET30 and lowered on coilovers.

Was running 235/40/18 previously and they fit fine. The tire was a bit stretched on 9 inch width rims, but 8.5 would be perfect imo.

The size would be a stretch if you'll be fitting it in 245/35/R18. Are you eyeing a specific wheel brand or something like Nitto tires?

245/40/18 would be a tough fit if you're lowered and don't have a lot of camber. Once you get to the 245+ front tires the overall tire diameter becomes an issue with the outside corner of the bumper. I actually find a 255/35/18 fits better then the 245/40/18 just because the overall diameter of the tire is 0.7" shorter
