Going with Falken 452s, 265/30 or 275/30 on a 19x10?

ElMachete · 09-24-2009, 03:58 AM

I got some Forgestar F05 coming for my 06 E90.
Wheel specs are:
19x8.5 +32
19x10 +32

I know Im going with Falken but I still haven't figured out what the best tire size is with these type of tires. I get a lot of mixed opinions with these tires. Especially on 19x10 wheels.

Anybody have actual experience with these tires that can help out?

That is for LCI. I can't say about the offset for 275 on your car.

GreenPlease · 09-24-2009, 07:51 AM

275/30 IMO.

Falken 452's in size 265/30/19 run thin sidewalls on 19x10 rims.

Zeph · 09-24-2009, 11:28 AM

265 is gonna be pretty stretchy on a 10 inch rim, especially a "thin" tire like a 452.

From looking at the pics on this thread 275 would be a better option. I don't want that crazy stretch.
Very helpful stuff around here.

IMO, if you are going to run 265s Falkens, go with a 9.5" width wheel...they are just too stretched on the 10" wheel. 285 Falkens would really be the perfect width tire for the 10" wheel, but you will probably get rub w/o a fender roll. 275's are fine.

I do however rub *slightly* on my front 245s, I think its just rubbing on the oil cooler vent vanes.

Daya · 09-24-2009, 03:57 PM

Go with 275, I have FK-452 on 19x10 and looks perfect with no rubbing while lowered in KW V1

Here is a shot of my car

ElMachete · 09-24-2009, 06:47 PM

If I go 275/30 rear does this mean I have to go 245/30 front now?

235/35/19 and 275/30/19 is probably not a good combination I'm guessing.

Or is it not that big of a deal?

Anyone?

info@VMRWheels · 09-24-2009, 06:55 PM

Actually, the overall diameter of a 275/30/19 tire nearly identical to the overall diameter of a 235/35/19 tire. This is actually a better set up, and you will have no problems running this. I say go for it. No need for 245/35/19 up front unless you really desire more rubber up front.

Saigon · 09-24-2009, 07:21 PM

i dunno 265 on 19x10 looks sexy stretched

Yea you're right. That doesn't look too bad. I guess it all depends on your taste. And maybe any mods you're planning to do.

Zeph · 09-25-2009, 08:41 AM

see even that looks a bit too stretched for my taste, I like em more sqaured up

guess I am old

Alan l. · 09-25-2009, 09:43 AM

For the falkens go with the 275. I'm running that on my LC 19x10's and it looks perfect. Theres still stretch even on 275's but not to the point there it looks too crazy. On the CSL's above the stretch looks nice but on the LC lemans the lip protrudes out like crazy on a 265 tire which looks stupid to me.

Craig@SupremePower · 09-25-2009, 09:53 AM

you should be ok with a 275...

The only reason you wouldn't want to do this is it invites more understeer than the stock setup, since the spread between the width of the rear and the front is greater that it would be at stock (225/255)...that's why I went 245s up front with the 275 rears.

And I wouldn't really say they "rub", they just kinda scrape the oil cooler vent vanes when i have the wheels turned to the extremes...and its only noticeable at very slow speeds.

Turbo>NA · 09-25-2009, 02:37 PM

NO FALKENS! YOUR MAKING A MISTAKE!

Go with Toyo or Genereals

Turbo>NA · 09-25-2009, 02:39 PM

I ran 265/30/19 with falken 452's on a +33 19x10 rear, and I rubbed.

Tee-Dub · 09-25-2009, 02:41 PM

Got 275 Falken 452's on my 9.5" and they look great and no rubbing. Definitely 275 on a 10" on a pre LCI.

Whats wrong with the falkens? I've seen nothing but great reviews on that tire especially in terms of ride quality

Pink Taco · 09-25-2009, 04:09 PM

genereals? Sorry I say no to these kind of names lol... nothing wrong with falken. In they are one of my favorite wheels. Falken Azenis is just pure sexy... I actually have 452s now on my car. They do great and they're quiet. I had Federal 595 RSR (great sticky tires) but WOW they're noisy...
