Will These 19's fit???

Lucid4000 · 02-20-2006, 06:13 PM

I am looking at there sizes and understand pretty well what it will fit like but just want some feedback.

I wanted to know if these will have any rubbing issues at all. I am only having trouble really is with the offsets. So many people keep talking about spacers. My question is if I where to put a 19x9.5 40offset and a 10mm spacers It would be the same as putting a 19x9.5 30offset. Is this correct? Also would 275/30-19 fit or 265/30-19 are better.

Thanks !!

Yes. 40mm + 10mm offset = 30mm. For 9.5" rims, I recommend 275/30-19 over 265/30/19 because the tire will fit better (straight side wall).
- 8.0" rim, use 225/35-19
- 8.5" rim, use 235/35-19
- 9.0" rim, use 265/30-19
- 9.5" rim, use 275/30-19

Do you think the 275/30-19 will rub?

Pretender · 02-20-2006, 11:16 PM

Not at all.

Lucid4000 · 02-21-2006, 07:20 AM

Thanks so ill def go with 275. I wonder if I can hey side work paving streets, because with a tire that wide its like having cement rollers ... Lol

Yaajer · 02-21-2006, 09:36 AM

I want to see how striaght the sidewall is.

Same here. I have 225 on a 8.5" rim and the side wall is also stretched. I'd go with 235 next time.

Yaajer · 02-23-2006, 09:28 AM

i've got 19x8.5/9.5 coming in with an offset of 30mm. you guys till think going with 235/275 is right? i'd love to do 275 in the rear..but I have a feeling it's too wide.

Yaajer · 02-23-2006, 09:34 AM

Gary over at Tirerack.

To answer your question, we have found that the E90 sedans have very similar clearances as the non-M E46 coupes, meaning 235/35R19 up front and 265/30R19 rear.

longtran · 02-23-2006, 10:54 AM

i was running 245 35 19 and 275 30 19. no rubbing.

I'm more concerned with keeping as close to the stock OD as possible, so I'm going with 265/30/19 in the rears.

Danny,

I'll do 275 rears and we can compare our setups when the Volks's come in.

Pretender · 02-23-2006, 06:01 PM

believe me, 225/35 front (8.5") and 265/30 rear (9.5") will look disappointing. I wish I went with 235 or even 245 in front. I'll take the picture to show how the undersize tire look like on e90. You don't want it.

I want to see...I am still torn between 265 or 275 rears. Personally, if 275 will fit w/no rubbing issues, I'm there.

i just ordered 245/35 front and 275/30/19.
