New Wheels and a Rack

napaperi · 08-03-2014, 04:02 PM

Hey guys,
I haven't posted on here for a little while so I thought I'd show off the new additions to my 335. About a month back I picked up a yakima Whispbar throughbar roof rack system with the bike attachment and Im not only loving the usability of it so far, but I really dig the look.

I also picked up some style 219m wheels in gunmetal. the wheels are fitted with the m3 spec tire sizes of 245/40/18f 265/40/18r michelin pilot super sports, so as you could imagine i do experience rubbing in the rear due to the aggressive offsets on the wheels. This forced me to order all new tires at the oem 335i tire specs of 225/40 and 255/35. there will be no rubbing after that. I'm kinda gonna miss this beefy tire look though. enjoy the pics!

I love these wheels. Why don't you just roll your fenders? Or is the rubbing that bad.

PSS's have a more square shoulder and will rub with your specs, 245/40/18f 265/40/18r. I did not rub with 219M's and Continental ExtremeContact DW 235/40R18, 265/35R18 until I added 5mm spacers in the rear, bringing the rear offset to ET18.

i removed the spacers. but then i got Apex EC-7's (18x9 ET31, 18x10 ET25) with the same tires. Did not rub. Put the 5mm spacers back on, no rubbing. I think that even though I went wider, the 265's were slightly stretched on the 18x10's so it gave me some clearance. i got my rear fenders mildly rolled after putting on the spacers just for precaution.

i've only rubbed when i loaded my trunk, rear seats and roof rack going over dips.

Nice! Starting to really like 219s, especially in gunmetal.

The gunmetal 219M m3 rims look really good on the e90.
