E92 19x8.5 and 19x10 largest tire possible with drop?

303RoadWarrior · 03-01-2016, 01:34 PM

Hi everyone,
First post but have been feeding of a lot of information the community provides. I have a 2011 335is e92. I recently ordered kwv2 coilovers that at minimum will drop my car an inch front and rear. I also ordered 19" Cor Trident wheels. 19x8.5 et35 up front and 19x10 et38 in rear. I was pretty sure up front I would go with 235/35/19s with no issue but I'm more concerned with the back. With a 10" rim width in back I wanted to get a 285 or 275 tire because I do not want the stretched look. I have read a 265 would be okay for fitment but I'm worried that may look a little stretched. Am I going to need to roll the rear fenders for a 285 or 275 or should I go with a 265? Also, what are your thoughts on my front tires, they won't be too fat or look stretched at that size will they? Thanks for all your advice and I'm sorry if some of this information has been went over before but I wanted to hear input on my specific situation.

You should be able to get away with a 275 tire on the back. I would roll your rear fenders if you plan on going wider.

Thanks VMR, I went with Pirelli P Zero's. I went 245/35 with a 5mm spacer up front and 275/30 on rear's to match the following look I was pleased with.
