BMW E93 tyre sizes-255/30 to 265/35 19

Hi,

As anyone fitted 265/35/19 in place of 255/30/19? I'm looking to keep away from the elastic band and potential cracking issues but worried about the tyres possibly rubbing with the increase in overall diameter. All help appreciated!

I ran 255/35/19 for a good while with no issues for the same reason... pot holes and a bit more comfort. I have heard people running 265/35/19 with no issues and some others seem to be slightly rubbing. But the rubbing was a fully loaded car. ie 4 or 5 people in the car and rubbing on big dips. Me personally was going to do 265/35/19 as I mainly drive the car on my own or with just 1 other passenger, but I ended up downsizing to 18s. It's trial and error really. If u don't carry much passengers u will b fine.... but if u do, u might rub slightly. 255/35/19s are fine though 🙂
