285/30-18 on E92

dtg · 01-20-2009, 09:00 PM

I'm wondering why no one has these on 18s?

I'm not really convinced about going to 19s and I'd like to get a set of Rota Torque 18s (9.5 rear) so I'm considering going with 285/30 in the back and 255/35 front.

The front will fit on the 8.5 rim without a problem. The 285s will fit on the 9.5 rim and theoretically should clear without any problems in the back.

This tire size is actually 0.30" shorter than the stock 255/35 and 0.50" shorter than the 265/30-19 that most people go with, so I don't see any issues with fitment... especially on a 9.5" rim with 30mm offset (Torque).

Anyone done this? Any thoughts on pros or cons? Thanks.

OP, you should be good to go. What are the offsets front and rear?

The wheels I'm considering are Rota Torque 18x8.5 +30mm front and 18x9.5 +30mm rear.

I know I'll be fine on the front and should be good on the back even with the 285 tire but I'm hoping the 285 on a 9.5" rim will not buldge out.

With a 285 i think you might need to gently massage the fender on a +30. Rubbing may occur during full compression of the shock.

It won't bulge out, it'll be flush to the fender but like Charles said, you'll probably need to roll the rear fenders.

Banker335i · 01-21-2009, 12:51 PM

I got one too.

I’m looking for a rim close to this one, http://www.hrewheels.com/wheels.php?q=/COMP/COMP90/

Not sure what that offset is but i would like something close. I know I’ll be running race springs soon so i don’t want to get something that won’t fit with them. With that rim, and off set, on a 19 how wide can i go?
Also, can we role the fenders are selves? Wont the plastic break?

VMRWheels, what do you think? Got anything?

Boost Gomez · 01-21-2009, 12:56 PM

There should be a "Will this rub?" sticky in this section.

Banker335i · 01-21-2009, 01:01 PM

ha yeah. right now on my E92 i have a265 on my stock 18" and there is not much more room really. a 285 will be pushing it i think. But then an off set, that pushes it even further out right?

david @ eas · 01-21-2009, 01:05 PM

Might be some issues with rubbing, but if you get the right offsets, and roll the fender some, you should be able to fit that back there

Banker335i · 01-21-2009, 01:21 PM

Combo ideas? what kind of off set with tire? i know nothing about tire size and offsets! PLZ Help lol.

ok thanks, ill do that.

Banker335i · 01-21-2009, 01:56 PM

hmm, i just dont think 265 is enough rubber on the ground. i have 265 now, and i slip way to much as is......after the turbo kits come out, ill have 200 more HP over stock.. i need 285's min. i think.

What tires are you currently running? A better quality tire is better idea then a less sticky wider tire IMO.

18's are a waste, just go 19's. 18s wont look right even with a slam, its gonna look cheap.

BMW MotorSport · 01-21-2009, 08:32 PM

The 285 rear is very easy for both E90 and E92, you need the right offset wheels, right tires, and fender work. Anyone in SoCal wanna try 285 for E92 or 295 for E90 in the rear??? Let me know.

265's are the standard size for all of our E90's and E92's.

Banker335i · 01-21-2009, 11:00 PM

yeah there standard for stock car.....when the new turbo’s are out, well be pushing 500hp, 265 suck as is....500 will smoke 265's all day.

Banker335i · 01-21-2009, 11:01 PM

my car is not standard.

spyahoo · 01-22-2009, 10:38 AM

285 on 18s will make them look even smaller. Its going to look like crap!
