I have a 328xi and I know a lot of members already done the style 95 on there 3 series but i was wondering if anyone has some knowledge about what size tires I should get without messing with the Awd. Thanks in advance, please help!

And I'm on h&r springs!

That post is for staggered wheels but I'm doing a square setup.

[VTECaddict]

Square setup = same size tires on all 4 corners. 19x10 is going to be tough to fit on the front. Also that aggressive wheel fitment isn't going to look good if you're just on springs. You need to be slammed to pull off the look IMO.

[Misterp214]

H&r springs for now but I am going to upgrade to coils in the future.

You can pull of 19x10 square setup, but there are few things to take notice.

First of highest offset that fits front without spacers are around et25 depends a lot of what brand coils. Here is one e90 with 19x10 et28 and kw coils and it's really close http://www.e90post.com/forums/showpo...1&postcount=37

Second you might need to get either camber plates to front or at least drill out the alignment pin to achieve some camber to front.

Depending of the drive height, offset and camber i would say no more than 235/35/19 or 245/35/19 tyre to front and because you would have same size wheel and you have xdrive you need to use same size tyre at rear too. Well you could use 235/35/19 and 265/30/19 combo.

Since you have lci and it has wider rear track i think you would be fine without rear spacer, but most likely needs fender roll to rear. This black e90 has 19x10 et22 with 235/35/19 front http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=349015

Thanks man I really appreciated. I think I might go with 245/35/19 squared, and I'm also looking into the 265/30/19 combo as well.

You can fit 265's up front?

No 245/35F and 265/30R.
Do you have a xi as well?

I wouldn't recommend that tire set up.

For AWD, there are tons of threads that recommend under a 1% overall diameter difference between the front and rear. use this:

http://tire-size-conversion.com/tire-size-comparison/

this set up you mentioned, the rear would be 1.9% smaller than the front. A common set up is the 235/35/19 front and 265/30/19 rear. Then again a 235/35 on a 10" rim will probably look pretty "stretched" and may not have the look you want. Maybe a 245/35 all around set up? if that fit's on the front without rubbing?

I am running 255/35/18 Michelin PSS square which run wide like a 265 on my 18x9.5's. You should be fine to run 245's square on your 19's.

[Misterp214]

Yeah I think Ima just go with the 245/35.. I can't wait to put on my wheels to see how they will look. Do you know any good places to buy tires? I been looking everywhere for a good deal.

[jskin1510]

Personally I'm not too picky about tire brand for the most part. I know plenty will disagree with me. I tend to go with new tires off ebay from reputable sellers. I bought 2 Saffiro 235/40/18's for the rear of my e46 about 6 months ago that I got off ebay, they were fine while I had it and sold it a few weeks ago.

I bought those 359's (In pics I posted above) last weekend and they came with 215s in the front and mismatched 255 and 265. I Just bought 2 235/35/19 Nankang's for the front and a 265/30/19 Federal (to match the other 265) from 2 different seller's for good prices. Tires should be in this Monday or Tuesday and I can't wait to get them mounted and on the car as well. I can't remember the last time I've been on stock wheels this long (about 7 months so far).

What's your width and offset for the front 255?

255/40/18 front and 285/35/18 rear could be fun

18x9.5" wheel that was ET34 with a 5mm spacer so it is net ET29. No rubbing on fender or on the coilover whatsoever. Negative 1.2 front camber.

245's are too narrow for a 10" wide rim. It will have that awful stretched look.
