Run Flats for Avant Garde 359s??

Exterminador · 10-06-2012, 12:54 PM

I am looking to buy these wheels but not sure what size tires I should run on them and if they are available in RFTs. I hate changing flats and I don't want to carry a spare tire and jack around.

Anybody?

PLEASE DONT!
Most of our customers opt for new wheels because they want to get rid of the runflat and the oem look.

There are 19" RFTs for sure in 225/35 and 255/30 since that's the OEM size BMW uses for E9x 19" wheels. The problem is the OEM E9x 19" wheels are 19x8 front and 19x8.5 rear. AG M359 are 19x9 and 19x10, and people generally run 235/35 and 265/30 on aftermarket 19's. Not sure if you can get the RFTs to stretch that much, since RFTs are supposed to be a pain to mount even on OEM wheel sizes.

Just run regular tires. Buy a plug kit and compressor if you're worried. Even if you have to call a tow truck, you'll probably still come out cheaper with regular tires than getting 19" RFTs.

I know everyone will think that I'm retarded or something but I really love the RFTs. I hate changing tires!!

But those 359m's are beautiful.

Dude you bought a BMW therefore you are smart person.
I switched to non-rft. I hate to change tires too but so far it hasn't been a problem. I've taken two nails and it was no big deal to plug. Rft's can go flat too. Are your roads that bad?

Agree those 359's are nice.

Yes, unfortunately in Puerto Rico we are not known for having the nicest roads
