Staggered set up help. - BMW 3-Series (E90 E92) Forum

Hi all,

Got my new rims to go on my e90 but need some help on tyre set up. Thinking of going for TOYO T1R all round, my front rims are 8.5 - 19 et 35 and rear is 10 - 19 et35 was thinking of going 235/35 front and 285/30 rear would this work and drive ok or would i be better with 245/35 front but i am worried that size may cause problems with rubbing or bump steer (tramlining). The car will be lowered on eibach springs and already has sports set up (ZSP) so will be a further 15mm lower in the front and 10mm at the rear and the rear arches have already been rolled.

Also are the TOYO tyres a narrow type tyre say to a hankook (rounded shoulder).

Thanks for any help you can give.

T1R is definatly "narrow" as you put it, I think ur plans will fit.

I'd go with 235/35 and 275/30.

Seems to be a good combo from reading

look at overall diameter
compare that to stock's overall diameter

The series (35 vs 30) is irrelevant alone because that is a percentage of the width (235 vs 285).
