Stretched Tires

335dye · 03-21-2015, 10:31 AM

I drive a LCI E90 and dropped on eibach sport kit springs. My rear tires are 265/30/19 and a little stretched. Not too bad but not my favorite look. Would I be able to go 275/35? Just curious, thanks!

Wheel width and offset?

If I measured right, my rear wheels are 10.5 in wide with an offset of 28 or 29. Not too smart with wheels so I'm not sure if this sounds right.

If you measured your wheel width from outside edge to inside edge, then the width is wrong. Also i assume you mean 275/30/19? Lets ask it other way around have you done fender work to fit the wheels and are you currently rubbing?

Yes you are correct. I went from outside edge to inside edge. And I did mean 275/30. There is no rubbing at all and I have not rolled my fenders. I did realize that one rear tire is a toyo proxes that sits nice and the stretched one is a kumho tire. So maybe jus replacing that with a toyo will work.

In that case the true width of the wheel is most likely 9.5 and since you dont have rubbing issues and no fender roll. I would say your offset is around 40. You can fit 275/30/19, but it's possible that you might need fender roll after that, but it's not 100% sure answer, if we don't know exact specs. You could check the wheel specs from behind the spokes.
