Would 245/45/18 on 18x8.5 ET35 square work for winter setup for 2017 M3?

Really considering this M3, which would not be a smart option, but hey...

As such, I'm trying to make sure I don't keep spending unnecessary money and have access to this tire/wheel package for the winter.

So wondering if I could run 245/45/18 Sottozero 3s on 18x8.5 ET 35 for winter, if I get this car.


I think they would actually work on my 340 also... so it might make sense to get them either way

BMW recommends 8.5 front 9.0 on the back and 255/40/18 for winter wheels/tires. This is their only offical recommendation for 18", although many members have different setups.
