235/35/19 or 245/35/19

335i-SG · 07-08-2008, 11:43 PM

I just recieved my tires.

General's - 235/35/19Front and 275/30/19Rear Offset 35F/30R e90

Now im thinking I should have gone wider in the front. 245/35/19!

Should I exchange the fronts or do you think this is setup is fine?

Rims are M6 reps.

UdubBadger · 07-08-2008, 11:46 PM

might rub on 245 in the front... i think you'll be fine

i have 235f 265 rear on my M6's and they look sick so you'll be good with what you got.

335i-SG · 07-08-2008, 11:52 PM

Thanks for the quick response, anyone else has any opinions?

235 or change to 245

UdubBadger · 07-09-2008, 12:02 AM

ya dude keep the 235's in the front for sure!

Park2670 · 07-09-2008, 12:06 AM

Why do so many people add to the stagger? I have chosen 245/275 and only get minor rubbing with an ET of 35 when backing up and turning left.

Running a 235/275 makes an already understeering chassis even worse.

335i-SG · 07-09-2008, 12:10 AM

Im also a little worry about rubbing in the rear with 275's but im taking the chance anyway. If it rubs ill increase camber I guess. Im lowerd a little bit with PSS9's.

Basicly I read today that 245's helps with understeer but may rub and 235's match 275s diamater the best witch is better for tread life and keeps the odometer accurite.

So far, I still thinking I should have gone 245's mostly because I wanted the extra thickness.

Park2670, are you lowered or stock hight?

Daya · 07-09-2008, 11:46 AM

i went with 245 up front to give my wheels a bit more sidewall to protect from our horrible roads. I am running 275 in the rear as well

Park2670 · 07-09-2008, 11:50 AM

Still running stock suspension, So I know that helps.

335i-SG · 07-09-2008, 09:48 PM

Just put my generals on. 275/30/19 looks much nicer then the 265/30/19
I had before.

So far I have had no rubbing but its very close.

Here are some quick shots.

I want to know how bad than 245/275 setup, is it that much noticablely bad?

335i-SG · 07-09-2008, 10:27 PM

I have only driven the car a few miles since getting the new tires. Ill let you guys know as I put more miles on them.

So far it feels good.

sd_335i · 07-09-2008, 10:43 PM

What wheels offsets are you running? Are you lowered?

335i-SG · 07-09-2008, 10:50 PM

It says it above but yes. Im lowered with PSS9s. Finger in front and even in the back. 235/35/19 ET+35 & 275/30/19 ET+30 General Exclaim Tires.

Camber is -1.40 Rear, not sure in the front.

I can tell going from the stock stagger or 235/265 to 255 all the way around. Quite a noticeable difference.

2swift · 07-10-2008, 12:10 AM

Have you had people in your back seat yet? I'd image with even a one finger gap in the rear, it will rub pretty bad with people in it.

335i-SG · 07-10-2008, 12:19 AM

No people in the back, but I had 2 tires in the back seat and a rim with tire in the truck at the same time. Didnt rub yet. I 'll get a better idea as I drive this week.

Papa13 · 07-10-2008, 03:15 AM

On stock suspension I rarely rub in the front, but rub nonetheless with 245/35/19 goodyears. It's mostly when turning left like Park2670 said.

335i-SG · 07-10-2008, 10:54 AM

Ok, today I did some driving and sure enough, it rubs!

Im going to have to rase the PSS9's in the back. I could maybe increase negative camber. Or just role the fenders. I was quoted like $80.00 per side to role.

Im still happy that I went with 275's Rear. I sticking with the 235/35's for the front.

Park2670 · 07-10-2008, 11:28 AM

Thats interesting that it rubs. Seems that some guys have no problem running 275s, dropped and even more aggressive of an offset. Guess it all just depends on the car.
