Running M3 tires size on e90

Mkze90 · 10-28-2016, 04:53 PM

Hello,
I'm trying to figure out if I run the M3 tire size will I have any rubbing issues?
I do have the sport suspension
wheels
19x8.5
19x9.5
tires I'm thinking is
245/35/19 front and 265/35/19
or
235/35/19 front and 265/35/19

thanks

I think you better go with a 235 in the front. 245 with a 19" rim is pushing it. It will probably rub.

245/40/18 fits fine with no rub, it's the same diameter as a 245/35/19. 8.5 et35 isn't aggressive at all either.

I run 19x9 ET35 with a 245/35 in the front. It does fit and does not rub 99% of the time. When it does rub, it hits the top front corner where the screw is that holds on the back corner of the bumper. The rubbing it very light and only occurs when going over large bumps at speed with passengers, I can't hear it rub. It does not rub anywhere else even on full lock.

I am also lowered 1/2" in the front with the Supreme Power spring perches.

Yep too tall.
The correct tire on a 19" wheel would be a 265/30-19.
The sidewall will be about 13mm taller on the 35 series tire or an overall diameter of a little over an inch.

I have 273/30-19 on a 9.5" wide wheel in the rear with no rubbing.
