245/35/19? will it fit

Chefcg1 · 03-16-2011, 04:09 PM

I have VMR wheels and 19x8.5 front +38mm, rear 19x9.5 +30mm rear
I need new tires and I was wondering if I can run 245/35/19 on the front without screwing up my setup. DWS are on backorder for 235/35/19 I'm going with 265/30/19 in the rear. car is 2008 e92 coupe. Thanks!

245's are a hair wide up front but it can work if you are at stock height.

Camber can help too. Just becareful with the inside strut, you may need spacers if it rubs.

Yep stock height, it is just that dws are on back order for the 235's and from what I could tell they looked like they should fit, but was hopeing that some one had experience with this. Thanks.

What about going with 275 rears. Will that fit without any modifications?

Chefcg1 · 03-17-2011, 06:51 AM

i had 275's in the rear and they rubbed over bumps.

Go with 235 F and 265 R... you'll have issues with bigger unless you roll your fenders and/or make changes to your suspension.

245's can work at stock height but you'll be limited to lowering your vehicle down the road since they are a bit wide.

no plan to lower in the near future. Thanks for the info

It's amazing how narrow the tire needs to be when running 19".
I'm going to be running 255/35-18 up front on my car and shouldn't have any rubbing issues (there are plenty of guys running this size up front without any issues). Actually, there's a couple forum members running 265/35-18 up front on 18x9.5", but with modifications.

I think it all depends on getting the right offset wheel and right tire. If a 255/35/18 fits, then a 255/30/19 should fit as well as the diameter and width of those tires would be nearly identical. Given wheels with the same offset the wheel/tire would be the same overall outside dimension with just the wheel taking up more space and the tire less in the 19" setup. Also an E90 has more room in the wheel wells than an E92 so it's apples and oranges to some extent.

245's fit like a charm on stock suspension. vredsteins were toast at 7k! Car is a lot smoother and quieter now.
