Question regarding tire size

jpaz70 · 07-08-2006, 05:04 AM

I was thinking about getting the M3 Competition Package wheels for my E90
(330i w/sports package). However, I am confused about the correct tire size.

The rim specs are:
19x8 (47) Front
19x9.5 (27) Rear

According to turnermotorsport.com, these rims can accomodate tire sizes
235-245/35 front and 275-285/30 rear.

I'm confused because according to Tirerack, the largest optional rear tire for a 19" rim is 265/30, while Discount Tire's website says its 275/30. Which is correct? Regarding the fronts, both sites indicate the largest optional tire for a 19" rim is 235/35, yet according to Turner it's 245/35. Again, which is correct?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Tire Rack tends to be conservative with there tire sizes. I am running a 275/30-19 in the rear, and 245/35-19 in the front. And my rears have a 22 offset. If you plan on running a 27 offset then you should be perfectly fine. And I would def go with the 275 and the 245.

Thanks for the information. I was concerned about the offsets.

P.S. What size spacers would you recommend (if any) for the front and rear with the 245/275 setup? Thanks again.
