Tire Fitment Question Please Help

Car:
87T2
Wheels:
Konig Toxxin 18*7.5
Tires wanted to fit 255/35/18

Will this fit the rim? I know it will probably rub a little bit on the fender, but will it fit the rim. According to tirerack.com the 255/35/18 fits on 8.5-10" rims, but the Toxxins are 7.5. Can I make it work regardless???

Please help me.
Thanks TRU

Heck no. That's way to wide of a tire. The most you want to go with is a 225, I wouldn't even do a 235 on the 7.5, although BMW did on the 95 E36 M3. Don't know why but they did.

Won't work well with your tire mounter. hehe.
