So i recently bought a style 95 with 19x9 and 19x10 and need suggestions on what tires to run on pre-lci e90 on sports suspension and lowered on H&R sports.

For the fronts, i will run a 225/35 for sure. I know it will stretch and will give me the clearance i need.

I'm looking to match the rears aesthetically so i want the same stretch appearance but also considering the ride comfort.

For the rears, should i go with 255/30 or 265/30? or perhaps i shall consider 255/35 or 245/35?

Reason for considering the the 255/35 or 245/35 is for a little ride comfort. but will the aesthetic stretch look be similar to the 225/35 fronts? Or the 255/30 or 265/30 will be the similar look?

I'm considering either hankook v12 evo, falken 452/453 or Kumho Ecsta LE/SPT. Let me know what would be the good tires to work on.

I use to have a 19x10.5 on 265/30 FK452 and it was a very good stretch but the ride comfort was terrible.

Anyway, if anyone could kindly please i would appreciate a lot...

You can get away with both 255/30/19 and 265/30/19. I wouldn't use those 35 aspect ratio tyres, because the diameter difference compared to front.

This one has 225/35/19 and 255/30/19

Yes, i know the speedo will throw off if i go with the 245/35 and 255/35 and not really advisable but for a little comfort due to the meaty tires, i'm willing to sacrifice it...

The stretch on the 255/30 and 265/30 is identical on the pictures above.. What do you think will be closer aesthetic look for the 225/35 stretch? I just want to make sure it looks the same in the fronts... Thanks for your help bro!

Well at least don't go with 255/35. Here is 225/35/19 at 19x9.5 and 245/35/19 at 19x10. http://www.e90post.com/forums/showpo...90&postcount=1

They look identical, because the true width of tyre varies between manufactures. My choice would be 255/30/19. It has similar stretch with front.

You can even calculate it roughly to get some idea. http://www.flushstance.com/wheel-measurements/

The front 9 wide has over all width of 10 inch.

10inch= 254mm
225/35/19= 225mm wide tyre
254mm-225mm= Overall wheel is 29mm wider than tyre
29mm/2=wheel is 14.5mm wider/side than tyre at front.

The rear 10 wide has overall width of 11inch

11 inch= 279mm
255/30/19= 255mm wide tyre
279mm-255mm= Overall wheel is 24mm wider than tyre.
24mm/2= wheel is 12mm wider/side than tyre at rear.

Not much difference how much wheel is wider than tyre between 14.5mm front and 12mm rear.
