I have a 335i sedan with stock suspension not even sport suspension and I really wanna fit these wheel offsets!!

Wheel Specs:
FR: 19x8.5 ET+34
RR: 19x10.0 ET+28
Lip: Front 1.25" / Rear 3.25"

Tire Specs:
Hankook Ventus V12 255/35/19
Hankook Vetnus V12 285/30/19

Any help would be great thanks!

Those tires are pretty large, and I'm certain you'll rub without doing fender modification.

[FlowState]

at stock height you might be okay in the rear, but don't even bother doing a drop. even sport suspension drop would make you rub bad. I see a higher chance of those fronts rubbing. 255's are very wide for the non-M's up front. especially with the 35 sidewall with that size rim and offset.

I would still recommend a fender roll to keep it from being too close. All it takes is the right pot hole to do serious damage

[edirtaynine]

the wheel specs are fine as is. pretty conservative. but whats with the giant tires? the rears will fit your pre-lci e90 fine but those front 255's are going to be pretty big and will be taller than the rears.

id suggest 245/35 front and 285/30 rears if you want wide tires on those wheel specs.

[Red_Bean_Bun]

I think you would need a fender roll and not drop the height.

[wazup773]

Thanks for everyone's help! But I am getting mixed opinions!! I am def not planning on dropping it, I do want a wide stance that's why I am picking those tires sizes. I don't mind getting my fenders rolled.

[wazup773]

Wait you guys think I should get all 4 fenders rolled??

[wazup773]

Anyone got a idea of how much fender rolling cost never have got that done on any of my cars

Dude,

Check out this site to match tires to wheel width:

http://www.rimsntires.com/specs.jsp

With 19s, you would probably be better off with this setup if you need wider tires in the back without a fender roll, if any:

Front: 235/35/19
Rear: 275/30/19

Best match front to rear with minimal percentage difference (0.3%) in wheel diameter, so, no prob with speedo errors.

Thank you I know that's a good setup I have had that with my last set of wheels but I wanna go wider. That's why I was wonder if anyone used the setup I listed with a fender roll and had any rubbing issue!! But thanks for your input that site will def come in handy because I switch wheels like every couple months lolll

[wazup773]

I know people have ran 285s in the rear before and they don't have problems it's the front I am worried about but I wanna go big or go home

[Deemo]

dude just do a 245 and 285. 255 on a 8.5in on the front is just unnecessary. Cut your fenders, gives you a lot more clearance than rolling and its around the same price. Just tell any body shop you wanna cut the inner fender lip off, then sand the area and put some paint over it so it wont rust. It's really easy to do you can probably do it yourself if you have experience with a dremel tool

Then you need to go home until you figure out the purpose for going wider up front.

What is your purpose of going wider?

Do you have an LSD so you could put more power to the pavement?

If you go wider up front, all you will potentially be doing is adding more understeer as you try to power out of a turn without an LSD and the front reaches its limits of adhesion with the nanny controls off.

You will not have better handling with bigger and wider tires in the front, especially if you can't lock out the steering wheel to either side without rubbing. You will just widen your turning radius. You also have the potential for making the tire diameters different front to back, which will IMO affect handling performance, as well as mucking up the speedo readings.

G/L with your choice, but I don't understand what the wider tires in the front will accomplish.

Hey thanks for all the info once again!! I just thought going wider would give me better handling glad you gave me the info. I don't plan on getting a LSD or anything

Btw so I will be fine running 245s on the front wheels with the setup I listed above??

[robc1976]

I run 295's in the back with a 10MM spacer and fender shave was needed....285 with a fender roll should be easily done. I am also dropped with the 295's.

yes easily! I run 245's with a 55MM spacer and 35 offset. You may wager to do this though.

Wow 295s!! You got some pictures of your car?! So if I run 235 front I won't have no problem all. Will 235s fit perfect on a 8.5 in wheel ET of 34?

sure here ya go 35/42 offset with 5MM/10MM spacers so it is actually 30/32 offset

[robc1976]

Same set up with 19" coming in a few weeks.
