Can\'t decide , need help

I just ordered a set of vmr 710 18 by 8.5 et 35 front and back for my 2007 328xi sedan, I\'m debating between continental dws and continental contiprocontact , I also have a winter set so I won\'t be driving these in snow, which would be a better tire and also should I get them in 235 or 225? Thanks in advance

Continental ExtremeContact DWSs are probably what I'd go for. They're one of the best all-seasons you can buy right now.

As for sizing, we recommend 235/40/18 on our 18x8.5 ET35s.

Do you think I should add some spacers in the back for better look ? If so what size ? Thanks

The rears could be pushed out a bit since you're running a square setup. Normally on your body style we recommend an 18x8.5 ET35 front and 18x9.5 ET33 rear, so your rears would be 15mm more inside the fenders than our recommended specs. If you wanted to add a 15mm spacer to the back it should look pretty flush.

I believe 18x10 will make it flush in the rear. Correct me if im wrong.
