Rims and tires.....

Lolitskasey · 12-27-2011, 06:45 AM

Alright so when it comes to rims and tire i am a complete noob. Would these fit on my car with no rubbing?

RIMS
FRONT: 19x8.5
REAR: 19x10

TIRES
FRONT: 235/35ZR19 XL
REAR: 265/30ZR19 XL

Thanks,
Kasey

The tire sizes seem ok, On 10" you can fit 275 but whats your offset. Because if it is too aggresive it could rub.

+1

235/275 is the correct setup for both front and rear to have the same diameter and size.

But why would you put such large rims/tires on an AWD vehicle?

Because us AWD guys like aggressive concave wheels as much as you RWD folks do.

Seems okay, but we need to know offset too.

I understand and appreciate that.

LOL, I have always loved a staggered setup, but seemed to own FWD cars that didn't lend themselves, aesthetically, to a staggered setup, until I bought my pride and joy!

However, where OP lives in Alaska, really wide tires will cause much difficulty plowing through snow and depending upon type of tire, much slippage on ice, defeating the purpose for AWD.

I have a square setup for winter, with 8-inch wheels all around.

Jus' sayin'

My wife has the family tourmobile, a Mercedes E350 4Matic with a square setup at 8.5 inches all around. Bigger car, and to me, relatively skinny wheels, but M-B specifies square setup or it defeats the purpose for their AWD cars. That is why I was wondering why BMW offers a staggered setup for their AWD vehicles.

Must be a different technological approach to AWD, I reckon...

Patrick303 · 12-27-2011, 11:08 AM

Ah. Doesn't seem to be a limitation for BMW as some of the AWD models come with staggered wheels stock. My e92 coupe came with 18x8 front and 18x8.5 rears.

Lolitskasey · 12-27-2011, 07:58 PM

Off set will be....

FRONT: +29mm

REAR: 32mm

hipnotic · 12-27-2011, 08:28 PM

front is okay but the rear might rub with a 275 tire but with a 265 i think you should be okay

Lolitskasey · 12-27-2011, 10:33 PM

Believe it or not the roads up here aren't that bad (at least to me). I have been driving up here my whole life with out studs on a front wheel drive car. So I am not really worried about slippage and plowing through snow. I will also be putting on all season tires aswell so that should help a little. Thank you all for your feed back, I think I will be pulling the trigger on these.

tsev · 12-28-2011, 03:44 AM

I think its safer to go with 265 for rear if you dont want fender roll.

bmw325i · 12-28-2011, 04:33 AM

As others have said you should be fine with a 235 up front 265 in the rear. I just don't think having all seasons in Alaska is a very good idea. It might help that you have an awd.

VMRWheels · 12-28-2011, 12:54 PM

With those offsets I wouldn't recommend a 275 in the rear. With a 235 front and 265 rear it will probably be OK. Both front and rear wheel offsets are a tad more aggressive than what we recommend but I don't think you'll have an issue on factory suspension.
