Pictures of 219m's with E90 Stock RFT on Pre-LCI E90 Sport
Added pictures after mounting. Post #5
Hi Guys, Can you confirm I can run 18" 219m with 225/40/18 and 255/35/18 OEM RFT without any issues? I have a 2007 335i E90 Sport. As well, will the stretch on the tires look funny? Thanks. PS. I have to run RFTs as my wife drives the car home at 1am in the morning a couple times a week. I would get all hell if she got a flat. Last edited by mo335i; 08-29-2011 at 11:08 AM..

If the tire specs allow for the 225/255 setup, then there should be no issues. I just felt that a 235/265 setup would fit on the wheels better. Just my $.02 Good luck with your decision!

Ok, so I mounted the rims with the stock RFTs, 225/40/18 and 255/35/18. So far no rubbing. Rears are a tight fit but I have not experienced any rubbing. We will see what happens when loaded with passengers and going over speed bumps and inclinded parking gargages in SF.
Was also a little concerned about the stretch on the rears but looked up tire specs on Bridgestone website and it checks out ok. Tires can be mounted on up to 10" wide rims. will post pictures after car is washed. |

Here are some images before the car was washed right after wheels were mounted. Sorry for the quality but they are from my phone.

Looks great. Any noticeable change in ride or performance?
I was thinking of doing the same thing, except I have the LCI with the wider track in the rear. According to this post it looks like it might work though. http://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=557834 Last edited by Shogun1122; 08-28-2011 at 11:50 PM.. |
