Tire Fitment and opinion question

jzepeda · 03-24-2011, 02:28 PM

Let em start off with I know very little about wheel fitment. I understand the concepts but I can't wrap my head around it. So I ask all you knowledgable and KIND forum members for help. I do not want to roll the fenders. a simple yes or no if possible would be fine.

car : 07 335i e92 lowered on eibach springs.
Wheels and tires trying to fit: 19x9 +36 (245 35 19)? 19x10 +38 (275 30 19)?

I am buying tires this afternoon. The shop will not test fit for me so I have to buy them before testing fitment. I don't want to put myself in that situation.

the opinions/question I would like from you is; would the 245 give me a better feel and less understeer then a 235 up front or am I asking for trouble.

Thanks,
Jorge

You wont really feel that much of a difference between 235 and 245.. If its me in your situation I would go with 235s just to avoid those unknown issues that might be there..

To be honest, a jump from a 235 to a 245 wont be much of a different on surface roads. You may feel slightly more lateral grip on track, but it will be minimal. This will all depend on wheel width as well.

Thanks for the advise I will be staying with the 235 in front. does anyone know about fitment for the rear?

I would go with a 265 rear in the rear so that it is closer in range with the 235 front.
