Can I fit 19 inch wheels on my 335i without coilovers

Leesin · 08-06-2015, 01:14 PM

Excuse my ignorance as I am new to buying rims.

Was looking into getting the 19 inch VMR v710s and was wondering, can I fit these on my 2009 bmw 335i coupe stock. Do I need coilovers?

Thank you

Why would you need coilovers? Of course they'll fit. The rolling diameters of the tires should be almost identical to 18'' wheels and tires anyways. Of course, without the sport package, it'll look weird because of the wheel gap.

Oh ok. I have the sports package, do you think it would be fine?

lol....dude, the car comes with 19's in many instances, chill out....read some posts, you can put 20's on there if you want.

Why do you think coilovers would have anything to do with fitting 19's?

Why is everyone flipping out? I put a little note in the beginning asking you all to forgive my ignorance. If anything, you guys should chill out.

Thank you for the help, anyways.

To be fair, tire rack even has 19's listed as OEM sizes...

You don't necessarily need coils. Most people with 19 inch wheels lower the car, because it looks better with less wheel gap, Your fine with sport suspension, maybe the front might appear to have bigger wheel gap compared to what it was before. Also if the front gap bothers there is also thing called front lowering springs that only slightly lower the front. Not to mention Eibach sportlines lowering springs that have very little drop. As long as your wheels have specs that work on your car you can use 19 inch wheels with sport suspension or basic suspension.

These are probably the most common wheel specs that wil work without issues.

19x8.5 et30ish and 19x9.5 et30ish
19x9 et35ish and 19x10 et38ish

With 235/35/19 and 265/30/19 tyres.

UP, why is silver not a standard color on your wheels and why are you charging 600 for powdercoating?

Then I apologize. Since it was such a basic (stupid rather) question I did not even know what to google. Now I'm hung up between getting 19 inch wheels or 18 inch wheels, though I already have brand new 18 inch tires. Is it worth it to go for 19 inch wheels if I have to buy tires as well, or stay with 18 inch since I already have new tires?

Again, thank you all for the help

We carry most of our wheels in a silver finish. It is a silver with a machined face. The only style we currently do not offer in silver are our UP620, they are only available in Matte Black & GunMetal with Milled Spokes. Unfortunately, this thread is to assist Leesin with his question. If you have any questions for us, feel free to PM us, and we'll be glad to assist you further.
