What size tires?

xantdieselx · 06-19-2010, 10:24 PM

I have a 2010 E92 328i X-drive coupe (stock suspension) and just picked up a set of staggered 19" Miro CSL reps. The specs are 8.5 ET35 front and 9.5 ET33 rear.

At first I was thinking about going with the factory recc sizes for 19" 225/35R19 front and 255/30R19 rear. The problem is that there is no A/S option for this fitment.

I searched and found that a number of people with xi are running 235/65R19 front and 265/30R19 rear which is good because I can pick up the Conti DWS in those sizes. Does this seem like the best bet to go with?

I may lower that car at some point in the future. If I do it will only be sport springs/absorbers. From what I have read this setup shouldn't rub with a mild drop.

My second question is I am wondering if I could use a 235/35R19 on BOTH the front and the rear? I would think the rear tires would be a little stretched on the 9.5 wheel. Also where can I pick up a good set of wheel locks?

Thanks in advance!

Go with 235/35 and 265/30 or 235/35 and 275/30.

Thank you both. I'm going to go with the 235/35 + 265/30 setup. I'm glad I did the research before I bought the tires...saves a lot of headaches.
