Help with tire size for 19" wheel

nomyy · 03-10-2016, 01:09 PM

Hi Guys

Need your help and expertise. I have an e92 m sports 2007. I am planning to upgrade my 18" OEM to 19" after market wheels. Not sure what size of tires to go with, without causing any rubbing while closing the gap as much as possible.

I currently have run-flats which I tend to switch to normal ones on 19" wheels. RFTs are 225/40/R18 front and 255/35/R18 Rear. Not sure about the offset but I guess it's stock ET30.
Please advise.

Regarding the wheels, I quite like the BBS Super RS, the classic look, but they are far too expensive for my budget

. I have however my eyes set on Ispiri CSR3 or not so classic Dotz Mugello. It be extremely chuffed if someone could share their e92 pictures with either of these wheels

Ispiri:
8.5×19″ 5×112 ET45 | 5×120 ET35 -- Front
9.5×19″ 5×112 ET38 | 5×120 ET33 -- Rear

Please share your expertise

Many Thanks

Standard size rubber for those wheels would be 235/35/19 up front and 265/30/19 in the back. If you want to go for more of a stance'd look I would suggest one step down in tire width to 225 and 255 respectively.

Also "it be extremely chuffed", please do elaborate!

Thanks, what would be the recommended offset?

and sorry it was a typo, I meant I'd be extremely pleased

245/35/19 is what I run up front with that size. For the rear, you can fit a 275/30/19 but might need to roll the rear fenders to clear it.

Thanks, what sort of offset are you running with this setup?
Also do you have RFTs?

If this helps, I just upgraded to 19" wheels from my 18s. Here are my old and new sizes. The rears will be a 3% difference (speedo), but only starts to matter near 90mph. And I calculated that might only change my mileage by <40 miles per year.

Front:
OEM: 225/40/18
New: 235/35/19

Rear:
OEM: 255/35/18
New: 275/30/19

Here is a tire size calculator that might help you http://www.tyresizecalculator.com/

New offset is around 35 I believe.

Nice... 275 at rear, do you have the fenders rolled?
Is the offset same for both front and rear?
I'm struggling to find wheels with 30ish offset , never tried using spacers..

No run flats - those are a bad idea.

19x8.5 ET35 up front, 19x9.5 ET40 out back on mine. Slight rubbing on the front when full lock turning in reverse, which isn't a big deal. Never noticed it driving forward even on a tight parking lot turn.

Fundguy1 · 03-12-2016, 07:58 AM

Your wheels won't fit. Wrong lug pattern. You need 5x120.
Wheel sizes should be
19x8.5 et30 front
19x9.5 et35 rear
Tires
235/35-19 front
275/30-19 rear.

That's my current setup with no rubbing on a 2008 e93 335I lowered front, 1/2" rear more than stock sport suspension, m3 control arms, kwv2 coilovers, stock camber, Michelin PSS.

The 275s rub in the rear when I hit bigger undulations in the road, otherwise it's fine. I might get my rear fenders rolled in the future. Offset is 33 & 35 and I don't need spacers. Front's are perfect with 235s and no rubbing whatsoever. Here are a couple pics:

Fundguy1 · 03-14-2016, 09:14 AM

Am I the only one who noticed the incorrect bolt pattern?

I like the bottom pic better. Have you considered an aftermarket m3, m5 or m6 rim?

You can probably get a set of 19" aftermarket M rims for around $800.00 to $900.00 from a reputable seller.

Tires - best tire for your money is the Continental DWS 06.

235/35/19 - front

255/40/19 - rear

Probably run you about $1,000.00 by the time you get them mounted, balanced and get a warranty on them.

Wow.. very nice and clean ride

what wheels are those?
I did mention that stud pattern 5 x 120 ... :S
yeah and that's what I was thinking on getting non-RFT 235/35 front and 275 at back.. as long as no dreadful rubbing... I should really be thinking about lowering as well... guess it'll come next on my to do mods...

Thanks, I do like those M wheels, but kinda more inclined towards that retro style wheels... especially if I get it lowered... unfortunately I can't find ISPRI CSR3 in 19" anywhere, AVANT GRANDE m220 are exactly the same but slightly more expensive...
Also the TSW RASCASSE are quite nice and unique aswell...

nomyy · 03-17-2016, 02:44 PM

My crappy photoshop skills aside, what do you guys think... Avant Garde M220 or TSW Rascasse

Also what colour do you guys reckon looks best on metallic silver e92?

Check ECS tuning. They have a lot to choose from in rims

BMB063 · 03-17-2016, 04:07 PM

Before you worry about the wheels...take that M badge off first!

Fundguy1 · 03-18-2016, 01:44 PM

This.

Opps, wrong thread..

nomyy · 03-20-2016, 08:19 PM

Thanks guys for the suggestions ...
I'm in UK so quite limited in options

Thinking about getting custom made splits

That m badge is actually off already, it's an old pic.

nomyy · 03-24-2016, 07:34 PM

One more thing, If I decide to go up a size on the tire profile, will it give a more stance'd look?

Front from 235/35/r19 to 235/40/r19
Rear from 265/30/r19 to 265/35/r19

will these fit on the wheels width 8.5 (front) and 9.5 (Rear)?
and what kind of offset would you recommend?

I am trying to achieve the most stance'd look on stock m-sport suspension.

Thanks
