PSS on 230 Style

DVaystub · 05-01-2013, 03:46 PM

Hey guys!
I know that this topic has been discussed over and over and over again, but I can't seem to get a clear answer.
I have a 2012 e92 335i with M-pack and I want to put wider tires, preferably Michelin PSS
255/35/19 Front
275/30/19 Rear
I have 230 style rims.
Car is stock ride height. WILL I RUB?!?!
Thank you in advance.

You will not rub.

Unless you have a really fat guy in there with you.

I just put pss 275/30/19's on yesterday and they rub looking for fender rolling now

Are you sure you have 8.5J front wheels? My 230 style fronts are only 8". Looks like TireRack recommends minimum of 8.5" for 255 width. http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....SSXL&tab=Sizes

Then the fronts shall be 245! Didn't realize, thank you for the correction.

You would need to drop the front size down to a 245 for sure.

But the rear is alright at a 275 100%?! Can't afford to buy the wrong tires!

Pretty sure you will be okay with the 275s, especially on factory suspension.
