What tyre size please ??

NotNormal · 02-23-2010, 05:20 PM

Need a set of new boot on my E92 335d
I've recently had to upgrade my wheels due to potholes, so running the following :

Front - ET35
8.5j

Rear - ET37
9.5j

The current tyre size, 225-35-19 and 255-30-19 look too skinny, i have been looking around at other e92's, the Alpina B3 and the M3
The tyres sizes they run look alittle fuller in the arch without looking too big

Can i run the std M3 tyre size on my car (m/sport suspension) without them catching ??

Thanks

Tom

You can do 235/35 and 265/30.

remmib, this is 100% NOT gonna catch/foul the arches ?

Thanks for your reply

You should maybe find out what is the "correct size/ optimal" size of tyres for the wheels you mentioned...

Front - ET35
8.5j

Rear - ET37
9.5j

But I reckon going with 235 and 265 shouldn't cause any major issue on standard suspensions....
