Is it bad to stretch runflat tires? Buying M310

eamon · 04-03-2012, 03:26 PM

Hey guys, im currently on a new set of stock runflats. I called **********s to order and they said my tires would have to be stretched, but its not that big of a deal. Im running 19' sport suspension. Does anyone know if its ok? Is it a big stretch?

Lol
I guess stretch'n'poke must know what they're talking about.

I run 255/30 in the rear and 225/35 in the front.
I have 19 in style 230 rims.

These are the wheels I want to buy.http://www.**********s.com/Avant-Gar...-Black-BMW.htm
I'm not sure about the exact size they'll give me, but they said it is the closest one to my current tire size. They said there will be a little bit of a stretch, and they said they reccommend running "60s"? in the back?

Not sure what that means.. but is it ok for me to use the setup on my current tires? My RFTs are pretty new so I don't feel like buying a new set or damaging them..

Thanks

im assuming they will send you the standard 8.5/9.5 +35/+33.

I have the same sport 19's 230 on 225.35/255.30.

At any rate, this is hardly a stretch at all. Im not sure what that "60's" is all about...but it sounds nasty and stay away from it. Youll be fine

So it won't shorten tire life or anything of the sort?
By 60s maybe they were saying 260s? I'm pretty new to this..

no it will not shorten tire life, being you did not alter any alignment specs with height/camber/toe changes.

i got aftermarket rims last month too they were 0.5 inches wider in the front and back compared to stock. and i got the stock 19" wheels with run flats put on them too for now since mine still had a lot of tread left on them, runs fine!

The recommended wheel/tire size for the AG M310 wheels is the 19x8.5 ET35 with a 235/35/19 up front and the 19x9.5 ET33 with a 265/30/19 in the rear. You can use your stock without any issues though it will be a slight stretch on the 8.5 / 9.5 widths. You can always upgrade to the wider width tires when you need to replace your current set later down the road!
