what tire size do i need?

LostMarine · 08-08-2009, 05:39 PM

i dunno how to use that calc on top.. i have an 07 335i and im about to upgrade to 19" m6 reps. hopefully staggered, but maybe not.. so front is 8.5 and rear would be either 8.5 or 9.5

i want more comfort over looks so i want a little more than just rubberbands around the wheels if i could. thank you

you'll need 19" tires

Probably 235/35/19 and 265/30/19, they're a tiny bit taller than stock, increasing the profile height any further may cause rubbing.

+1 This is exactly what I have for my M6 reps. ET-35 8.5 front with ET-33 9.5 rear. The ride/noise seems fairly similar to the ride with runflats IMO (Conti SSRs, not Bridgestones. I hated the Bridgestones), at least on most roads. So you won't get a whole lot more comfort, but it is definitely a nicer look. And it really looks like if you go with much more sidewall there could be problems.

This setup would work perfect with a 235/265 combo. As long as you are at stock height, it will not require any kind of fender rolling.
