Help with rim and tire choice

Hey, I'm super newb with the rim and tire stuff so I'm hoping someone can shed some light. I'm being offered a set of brand new vossen cvt rims only. How will this fit on my stock 335is 2011 coupe? Will there be rubbing? I'm looking to slap on some mpss on so what tire size should I grab if I buy these?

Front wheels are 19x8.5 offset 30
Rear wheels are 19x10 offset is 42

thanks

245/35/19 in the front
275/30/19 in the back

Ps why do you want 19' rims... its just for the look, its lowering the handling and pickup is slower, most importantly from rest to 10, 20, 30, 40 kmh its so much slower

That's the right tire size. The performance downside of 19s vs 18's is minimal and unnoticeable. The upsides of looks and that you're shedding weight make them a great swap. Go 235/35-19 front if you're lowering and want oem camber.

Thank you, how will these rims fit my car in terms of being flush with the fenders, will I need to roll fenders/ have any rubbing with that tire size? What's my best tire choice for a comy and quiet ride + good performance? Thanks for the help guys

MPSS. Shouldn't have rubbing issues. I had same tire sizes MPSS, same front wheel, and similar rear 19x9.5 et35 no issues. Flush. You'll be a couple mm inboard on outer face. No biggie.

Hey actually I have a question regarding the 235 recommendation, I plan on lowering the car very soon as well, will I have rubbing issues on the rear or front if I lower and want to keep stock camber? How far would I be able to lower it without any issues with that tire size?

For 235 I lowered it 1" past stock sport height no issues with oem camber specs, 235/35-19 tires on 19x8.5 et30 wheels and m3 front control arms. Needed to go back up a bit for 245s.

Ok in that case I'm going to go with 235, will that give enough rim protection?

I found a very cheap set of mpss 235/ 35/ 19 he's only asking for $235, says the tread is about 75-80%...going to give him a visit today.

he's also selling a pair of 275/35/19 TOYO proxes summer tires %85 %90 tread left for only $345! I'm guessing these won't fit right?

The weight is about the same

313s
Front 12.63 kg
Rear 13.27 kg

CVT 13
CVT 13.5 kg

Mind if i ask how much you are paying for it? Because i personally dont really like the CVT material. Vossen wheels focus on the look*, instead of performance.

Brand new in box, 5 year warranty for 1300. They retail for 2300.

To be honest, I think they look great, I've seen them on another e92 on this forum and I really liked them. More for looks than maximum performance as I'm pretty much just a daily commuter.

Can't really go wrong for that price as I know what some real quality rims would run me

Those 275s be tall. Not if you're lowering. Try to get same tires front and rear. 235 are 9.5" wide. You're fine for protection.

Ah 1300, just get it then!!! Even shit chinese made wheels are like $800 for 19"
For looks i like the CVT at the first sight, just not the material! I really like the 313s tbh, but I'm getting 219M now for super cheap.
