19x10 and 19x8.5

lukasbmw · 06-19-2013, 10:07 PM

Just put in an order for 19" Vossen CV3 today:

Fronts: 19x8.5 ET30
Rears: 19X10 ET36

What size tires should I run?

The shop is telling me:

225/40/19
275/30/19

I think the front is too narrow and the rear is too wide.

I'm thinking I want 235-245 up front and 255-265 in the rear.

I don't know the widths and offsets of my rims but when I got them I had 235/35/19 in the front and 265/30/19 in the rear.

I have an E92 lowered on ST Coils, no rubbing issues at all. My new setup is 215/35 and 245/35.

Yeah 235/35 and 265/30 sounds better.

Why did you change to 215 and 245? That's pretty skinny. Did you do it just for looks?

tjnitsche · 06-19-2013, 10:43 PM

My vote goes to 245/35/19 and 275/30/19

Will those fit?

If so, that does give me the most protection.

Yes I did it for looks because i'm into stance/hellaflush style but I noticed since you have a 335 i'd go with meatier tires especially if your car is on JB4 piggyback.

edirtaynine · 06-20-2013, 01:02 AM

id go 235/35 front, 285/30 rear. 275/30 matches 235/35 almost perfectly, but i'd rather go 3mm taller to gain 10mm more width.

VMRWheels · 06-20-2013, 11:27 AM

OP, those tire sizes are way off up front. 235/35/19 up front is what you want. For the rear, we recommend a 265/30/19. You shouldn't have any fitment issues with sizing like that.

Can 245/35/19 and 275/30/19 be used? I am running BMW PS suspension with little 1/4" drop in the front.

Thanks!

It's really going to depend on what wheels you're using, but I generally recommend sticking with a 235/35/19 and 265/30/19 stagger.

My plan is to mount these on Cv3 19x8.5 30 and 19x10 36 in the rear...

Chefcg1 · 07-13-2013, 08:03 AM

I run 19x8.5x35, 19x10x38 with 245/35/19 front 275/30/19 rear lowered 1"+ no rubbing

Our recommended wheel specs are pretty similar, but we still generally recommend 235/265.
