Tires on an E92 w/ 19x9/19x8 wheel

Thussy · 03-23-2011, 11:27 PM

Is there any impact on running a thicker sidewall on the following wheel specs? I know the diameter won't match up as close, and I'm wondering if there's any downside to that?

19 x 8 +37mm with 235/35/19 (typically run 225/35/19)
19 x 9 +39mm with 265/30/19 (typically run 255/30/19)

Those sizes should be no problem.

Id say most people who have these size OEM rims are running that setup. I am on my style 230's with absoloutley no issue and I will do so again on my next set of tires.

I run those non RFTs on my 230s now. Love them. They look completely normal and fit.

Oh, and I have cracked a 230 rim too.... thank God I purchased rim and tire insurance on purchase of the car. The rim was $930 plus tax at the dealer....
