Confirming 19" tire sizes before purchase

Picking up a set of OEM 437M wheels. 19x9 +29 and 19x10 + 40. Need to confirm tire sizes so I can get some ordered. This is going on a 2010 E92 335i with MSport suspension, but will possibly lower it at some point either with springs or coilovers.

Front
Either 245/35 or 255/30

Rear
275/30

Don't want to run any crazy camber. Fenders are not rolled, and I'd prefer to keep them that way, but will if absolutely necessary. Tires of choice PS4S.

Thanks.

Appreciate the replies. Been doing more reading, looks like many have gone 255/35/18 square, some have done 255/30/19. Both of those tires have the same outside dimensions, and I'm leaning towards the 255/30.

Apex wheel fitment guide states...I've copied and pasted the pertinent info, and left the unnecessary stuff out.

Aggressive street fitment
Front: 18x9" ET30 or ET31 with 235/40-18 tires

245/40-18 or 255/35-18 front tires can also be used as a direct fit, but 5mm front spacers may be required with certain aftermarket suspensions.

Front: 19x9" ET28 with 245/35-19 tires

Performance Street/Track Fitments square
Front & Rear: 18x9" ET30 or ET31 with 255/35-18 tires
Direct fit.
Popular fitment
5mm front spacers may be required with certain aftermarket suspensions.


Performance Street/Track Fitments staggered
Front: 18x9" ET30 or ET31 with 245/40-18 tires
Rear: 18x10" ET33 with 275/35-18 tires
Popular fitment
255/35-18 front tires can also be used as a direct fit.
5mm front spacers may be required with certain aftermarket suspensions.

Front: 18x9" ET30 or ET31 with 255/35-18 tires
Rear: 18x9.5" ET43 with 265/35-18 tires
Direct fit.
Popular fitment.

Based on the above, I don't see why a 19x9 +29 with a 255/30/19 wouldn't work.

Here's the link to their guide

Yes

You can even fit a 245/35 up front as well
I switched out my 235's to 245's as I thought with a 9.5" it was too much stretch.
Though you are running a 9" so 235 should be just fine.

See my sig below for wheel and tire specs

I've actually decided on 255/30/l19 and 275/30/19.

Seems a little wide for the fronts. I had 245/35/19 in the front and it was rubbing the oil cooler fins on the fender liner. I had to switch to 225/40/19.

I agree, it does, but research says it'll work. A lot of guys who run square setups run this size all around, and Apex confirmed my wheel/tire specs on my chassis/suspension...

Worst case, they'll rub and I'll sell them here. Seeing it's a factory rear size, shouldn't be too difficult to move them.
