Rim and Tire sizes for XI

Found the info for previous question new question.

I have 19x8 square but now im going to get 19x9 fronts and 19x10 rear but what tires size should i get? i am going to lower my xi in the near future, im thinking 235/40/19 front and 275/45/19 rear. i see that its all about rolling diameter with the tires but how do i measure it exactly?

any opinions will be helpful

235/35/19 & 275/30/19

Go to Tirerack and look at the specs of the tires. They post revs per mile for each tire size.

my stock rim size is 205/55/16 revs per mile 838 ovarall diam. 24.8 or 225/45/17 revs per mile 832 overall diam 25, but my car came with 335i sport rims when i bought it used, i dont have sport seats or steering wheel so my take is its the 16"

now i looked up the tires

235/35/19 are revs per mile 816 and overall diam.25.5
275/40/19 revs permile 751 and overall diam is 27.7

something tells me these wont be good for my car?

Use a tire calculator, free app on iPhones. Keep rolling diameter under 1. Good to go.

Easy peasy.

http://www.1010tires.com/ gives you OEM tire specs and you can compare it to what you're planning on getting. It'll give you the percentage increase/decrease of your current tires compared to what you plan on getting. Arguably, you'll want overall diameter to be within 1-3% of the OEM size especially with the AWD.

What size wheels and offset do you have for the front? I'm planning to run 19x9.5 concave with 245/35/19 on all four corners.

Damn that's sux. I really love the look with concave front and rear like the EVO X. Well, I guess I'll just do more research and maybe somehow some way I can make it work.

Out of curiosity - why didn't you put 285's in the rear to go with your 245 up front? I am most likely going with this set up and it is a 0% Rev/Mi diff at 806 a piece

You didn't have to put spacers in the front for the 245? Are your fenders rolled in the rear?

no roll no spacers, everything works just fine. the back is a deep concave aggressive offset, the 285s would stick out a little too much
