tire size?

angrymofo · 07-21-2010, 07:43 PM

Looking for some advice:

Have my eyes on a set of staggered rims

19 x 8.5 et38
19 x 9.5 et35

don't know what size tires will work on my 325i e90

been punching in numbers on the calculator

225/35/19 or 235/35/19 front

255/30/19 or 265/30/19 rear

not too sure how far in/out i can go without rubbing.

235/35 or 245/35 front and 275/30 rear should be fine with them off sets.

Run a 235.35.19 up front and a 265.30.19 out back, you wont have any issues at all and with a 9.5" rim a 265 sits better.

Yes, go with 235/35/19 and 265/30/19.

thanks for the responses.

I wasn't sure about the width in the rear, since my car is a 325i without sport pkg.

i guess there is a lot of room in the wheel wells/fender for wider tires?

With a 9.5 +35, a 265 tire fits perfectly fine at your ride height. The E90 rear fenders do offer more clearance then E92's.
