Oem 220m on 335xi , help!!!
So I bought oem 220m wheels last night with stock 245/35/19 and 265/35/19 and I'm rubbing like crazy , and I hear a ticking clinking noise while driving ... Should I get smaller read tires or is it worse then that

220M are the E90/92 M3 wheels correct?
From what I've read the aggressive offset on these makes it quite the squeeze for the standard rwd E90/E92 and even more clearance issues for the XI ones.

Maybe my math is wrong, but I think those size tires puts a ~2.1% difference in the rolling diameter between the front and rear wheels.
I believe the rule of thumb for our xi cars is to keep it under 1% so we don't stress out the transfer case. The ticking, clinking noise would worry the hell out of me. For a staggered 19" setup the sizes phozenstone posted above would be ideal, or 225/35, 255/30. I think in another recent thread someone was planning to run 225/40, 255/35 which would also be good.

That rear tire size is too big for a non-M E90/E92. Get 265/30-19's. There is a 0.7" difference in diameter between front and rear, which is not going to do your drivetrain any favors either.

I will be attempting to put 40 front 35 rear with 19 inch Style 67 M3 rims this summer. But then, I have an xi and am not lowered at all. ALSO, I would be VERY concerned about the noise. Since your wheels are staggered, your front and rear tires cannot be the same height. This will cause a rolling diameter difference higher than 1% which can seriously mess up your AWD. The noise you mention sounds like the transfer case issue to me due to the diameter difference. I would definitely reconsider the tires with the RIGHT size immediately so the diameter difference comes down to recommended numbers. |

as long as you are not lowered, then they will fit fine and will not rub. I ran 220's with the same size tires when my Xi was not lowered and it was fine. I recently got KW V1's put on and the rear is a bit too low even with rolled fenders.
