e90 LCI wheel fitment

whiskey_waffle · 05-05-2017, 01:50 PM

It's time for new tires for my car and I wanted to try out the Firehawk Indy 500 tires but they don't come in 265/30/19. So my question is would a 275/30/19 fit in the rear on 19x9.5 +35?
I have plans to lower it on coils in the next couple months also would that cause any rubbing issues?

It can, you might rub a bit if you go over dips or have the rear full. I used to run 275 in the back on my old 19's.

I use to run 275/35/19 on a 10" wide wheel. /35/which was a fatter sidewall than you were wanting. I wasn't lowered but I did slightly scrape under sharp cornering. The brand was BFG KDWs. You will most likely be okay with that /30/ sidewall.

Thanks guys, I guess I'll ask a tire shop if they can mock one up and see if theres any rubbing issues to be concerned about. If not i'll just get a different tire.

I think 275 might rub. Here are my 19 x 9.5 ET33 with 255/30/19 tyre.

I have 19x9.5 et 39 wheels on the rear of a 2010 e91. With 275/30 tires. No issues. Don't know if an offset change of 4mm would change that though.

Yeah I have 265s on right now and it looks like it might rub but from what I've read some people say it won't. I think i'll just stay with 265.

I'm also not sure if the 4mm offset would make a difference. I think i'll just get a different brand of tires in the sizes I already have.

Running 275/30 on 19x10 et 40, no rubbing

Ended up getting the 275, haven't noticed any rubbing yet. It looks like I would probably need to roll the fenders when I get coilovers though. Thanks for the help everyone!
