Track Tire Question

<SORRY FOLKS WRONG FORUM PLEASE IGNORE>

I just got a new set of wheels and tires (below) to track my '08 135i. I thought I found a thread that said 245/40/18 would work on the rear w/o any rubbing. Now today I see some folks complaining about rubbing at that size. I figure it could be the specific tire that makes the difference so if anyone else has tried this configuration with the Nitto NT01, I would appreciate some feedback so I can know if I should mount them or return them for another tire.

Wheels
Front: 18x8 ASA AR1 SML
Rear: 18x9 ASA AR1 SML

Tires
Front: Nitto NT-01 225/40ZR-18
Rear: Nitto NT-01 245/40ZR-18

You'll probably have better luck on 1Addicts since the offsets/clearance are totally different on the M3.

You are swapping out parts designed by some of the top engineers in the world because some guys sponsored by a company told you it's "better??" But when you ask the same guy about tracking, "oh no, I have a kid now" or "I just detailed my car." or "i just got new tires."
