Need advice on tire size...

eeesh2u · 08-15-2007, 02:42 PM

I am eagerly awaiting delivery of the MORR VS7 and need to order tires:

I was interested in the ContiSportContact 3 because of their versatility. But I can only get the rear in 275/30/19. I would assume I should go 245/35/19 up front as well.

Will these fit? I'd like to avoid rolling fenders if necessary (but I will if I get stuck with ill fitting tires) Whats the chance of rubbing?

I have an E90 with ZSP.

If they won't work, I will probably go with the Kumho SPT 235/265 for now and hope for 265 Conti's to come out. F1's are too noisy for me (had them).

Any help is appreciated, thanks!

There is a chance of rubbing with those sizes. Morr hasn't released the offsets so its hard to say, but since they are designed to fit flush I would say that a 275 may rub the outer fender.

235/265 would definitely work if you want to reorder tires.

Well, The ContiSportContact3's are availabe in a 235/35/19, but not a 265/30/19. I wanted a tire that was quiet, comfortable, as well as a good performer for spirited driving. That is the tire that was suggested to me. I don't know what the offsets are either, but you can get an idea using this picture:

It might work, have you asked Carlos?

There's always the Michelin's, or the General Exclaims are back in stock.

I have, they haven't tried a wider tire.

Surprise, the Generals are back in stock! That must have happened today.

I may just go with the Kumho's though, they seem to be a step up from the Generals while preserving a good ride. Not bad on price either.
