URG Need Help with new tires ...

Bmwner · 05-07-2017, 03:51 PM

11" 323i e90, bought a set of used OEM BMW rims without tires .
F 19x8' ET37 R 19x9' ET39. I know that recommended tires are Front 225/35 and Rear 255/30.

1) Will these rims fit my car ?

2) Can i use 4x 225/35/19 ( rear tires a bit stretched ) ?

3? Will 265/30/19 tires fit on rear rims with no problems at all?

4) Which option is the best for rear wheels, 225 or 265? Any difference in performance ?

Hey did you figure it out? I have the same question about the tires

225/255 is oem sizing. You can fit a 265 if you'd like without issue. I wouldn't go with a 225 sq. Will look funny and less grip in the rear. I think for the power levels of your car you don't need something bigger than the 255. Go with a good tire like the Michelin pilot supersport or the pilot PS4s. You won't be sorry.

235s would fit nicely. Or maybe a 245 40 17.
