Minimum tyre width for a 9,5J wheel...
To be more accurate , I use the original M3 wheels on my car but using 335i tyre dimentions. My question is , does a 19" 9,5J wheel can work with a 255/35/19 tyre?

Each tire manufacturer lists the acceptable rim width for a tire size. To to TireRack.com, select the tire you want and go to the "specs" section and you will see acceptable rim widths for each tire size.
I think the 255 is approved to work on a 9.5 rim for most tire brands. In fact I think many lowered cars use 255 tires on 9.5 rims.

Thanks guys...
Im experiencing a strange issue. I have just (before 1,5K miles) a set of Continental Sport Contact 5p and despitethe general admition the car is very slippery. Sometimes it feels like my old tyres performed better before changing them. I thought for a minute that the stock 335 tyre-size(225front/255rear)is too tight for the M3 wheels (8.5J /9,5J). Any ideas?

I am a bit confused as to what you mean by 'just before 1.5K miles a set of'. Did you mean that you are nearing 1.5K miles on your current set of tires? |
