Can I run this set up;
235 35/19 19x8 and 275 30/19 on 19x9 stock 313 wheels?

I currently have 225 35 and 355 30 on the same wheels.I am also having a KW v3 coil over system installed before the tires upgrade.

Thanks,
Mark

Yes that'll be fine. I run 265/35 and 245/35 on the same wheels at stock height (wouldn't recommend 245/35 in the front if you're lowered)

Awesome... thanks for chimming in. I will be installing a KW coil over kit with 15mm spacers all around for added flexibility on the height. The rear will most likely come up a tad or stay... as is. The front is coming down because I have like 2 inches or so right now, so yes hoping these 235-35 and 265-35 on 19s will give me the slightly added tire height and more meat on the tires. My intent is to fix the terrible front height compared to the rear acceptable height.

I am looking at Bridgestone S-04 matching.

Thanks,
Mark

Here is how it looks after the coils... I added 15mm coil spacers in the rear to give me the flexibility. So once I confirm I can run the 235 35 and 265 35 I will adjust and lower the rear to match the front.

Thanks!

What're you looking to confirm? It's difficult to tell specifics once you're lowered because it's hard to define a ride height on adjustable coilovers. Best you can do is put em on and then go as low as you can without rubbing.

The only warning I can give you is that the front left may contact the bolt on the grille for the aux radiator on the inside of the driver's side front fender liner. Turn the wheels and see how much space you have there at its closest point and calculate how much closer the taller tire will be.

Trying to confirm that either 235 35 and 275 30.. OR 235 35 and 265 35 tires will fit on my stock 313 19" wheels without issue..

Oh sorry for the late reply on this. Those sizes will definitely fit on the wheels.

The problem comes when you lower the car because you can set the coilovers at a ton of different heights and you'll have to figure out how low you'll be able to go on these tire sizes. Overall those sizes are pretty conservative and pretty close to stock so there will be no issue unless you're slammed.

Like I'd mentioned earlier the unknown is if the front left tire will contact a bolt on the grill for the auxiliary radiator in the driver's wheel well. This depends on your caster as well, M3 control arms will exacerbate the problem by making the wheel sit slightly more forward. Beyond this there is PLENTY of room to go 10-20mm wider than stock tires with no issue.

no rubbing in the rear?

I just bought 255/35r18 tires but have 15mm spacers on kw street comfort coilovers. Wondering if i'd rub with 15mm or should i purchase 10mm

I have 2012 e93 on BBS ch-r ET44

Any specific reason you can't just put em on and find out for certain?

DEFNITELY not slammed.. I have a pretty generous gap by most standards with my coils. I got the 15mm coil spacers for added flexibility in the rear.. so as you can see on the photo of my car above.. I have plenty of space. I am looking for tires now so having 2 options on the sizes of 235-35 and 265 or 275 30 will get me more options on brands.
