Yet Another Tire Fitment Question (275/40/19)

digital01 · 08-20-2013, 07:01 PM

So im in the market for some new rear tires, and I came across a pair with specs ive never used before. The tire is a 275/40/19, which id like to use on a 9.5 inch wheel w/ an offset of +37 (including 10mm spacers). Currently, my setup is 245/35/19 in the front on an 8.5 inch wheel, +35 offset and a 275/30/19 rears.

This brings me to my questions, which are:

A) Would the 275/40/19 fit on OEM height? If so, would this be in reasonable specs compared to the front size (transmission, speedo, etc)?

B) Aesthetics-wise, how would the 40 sidewall look in comparison to the fronts? Any pics of your E90 with the setup im looking to use would be greatly appreciated!

A) Wont probably even fit. Way too big. If it would fit. It would have almost 2 inches bigger diameter than front and the difference would be 7%. Even though your car isn't Xi. This big difference isn't good for the car. Speedo would be off. When driving 60mph, speedo would read 64mph.

B) Huge. It would look like this

Haha, I was afraid it would look goofy (nice example, lol). Oh well, guess I need to keep looking around. Thanks for the heads up!
