Does this tire size sound correct?

csnow · 03-30-2009, 09:06 AM

I have a 2006 E90 and I just ordered a set of wheels & tires from a tire shop in my city. The wheels are Beyern Mesh with 19x8.5 in the front and 19x9.5 in the rear.

My question is about tire size. I am getting Falken FK452s. The guy at the shop told me that I need 225/35/19 in the front and 245/35/19 in the rear. Does this sound correct? I told him that most people on this forum seem to be running 265/30/19s on the rear but he said that his book said the other size so he couldnt gaurantee no rubbing or no problems with the size that I wanted.... I went with his tire size recommendation to avoid warranty problems but I want to make sure that it will actually work before they are installed and it is too late to change it.

Thanks!

Must people in here use 235/35/19 and 265/30/19.

Agreed.

Thanks for the confirmation on size! Why would his book of sizes have 225/35/19 and 245/35/19 as the recommended sizes though? Will the 225 and 245 set up he recommended cause problems?

I want the 235/35/19 265/30/19 set up but he basically said if I have problems I am on my own because it is not what his book has listed...

Do Falkens run on the big side?
