Wider Tire Setup Question on my 335is

Tinted_335is · 10-13-2012, 12:16 AM

Guys - So I'm going wider on my 335is - 255/35/19 in the front and 275/3x/19s in the rear (Michelin Pilot Super Sports) - I don't have any spacers or lowering springs. My question is should I go 275/30 (to match BMW specs of 30) or go 275/35 in the rear? Is there a performance reason or a look reason, or does it even matter?

Has anyone done this? is there any rubbing?

Thanks,

M

275/35 is way too tall. That is over an inch and a half taller than stock.

275 30 19 for the rear with the correct offset it should fit

Thanks guys...

Am I going to wide in the front? 245/35s?

Has anyone had any issues with rubbing?

is this going on the stock wheels? if so, i think it will look weird...the tire might be wider than the rim.

So I went with 275/30s in the rear.

I went with 245/35s in the front, but it seems to be rubbing a little (don't have any spacers) and I'm probably going to go down to 235/35s

Best,

M

If this is for OEM wheels, I'd say 235/35 and 265/30 especially with Michelin PSS is big enough.
