19x9.5 Square Setup w/ 255/35/19

orteeze · 11-13-2014, 11:59 AM

Looking at purchasing a square setup for my 08 E92. I already have a practically new set of 255/35/19 Continental Extreme Contact DW tires. So the question is.. will the front tires rub with a 19x9.5 w/ et33?? Anyone out there running this setup? I'm stock height no lowering springs.

Any input is appreciated.

I can't answer your question, but see if this is any help, especially the calculator at the bottom. Then you can get the exact distance they'll extend out.

Wheels ordered. I'll get the tires mounted and provide feedback. I hate unfinished threads.

One thing tho 255/35/19 is wrong aspect ratio. Tyres have almost a inch bigger diameter than the 18 inch setup on that link. It should be 255/30/19. Also you might need spacer to front so the tyre clears inside.

Understood MonacoBlue90. Worst case I'll have to buy new front tires. On the flipside I've been running 245/35/19 with no issues with my current 19x8.5.. Again it's an 8.5. We'll see!

I have no answers for you, but interested in pics if you end up making this happen

Jsoboti · 11-14-2014, 12:30 PM

Didn't know you could fit a 255 on the front of an E92. please post pics after mounting!

orteeze · 11-14-2014, 12:45 PM

I don't know.. I just so happen to have the tires already so I'm going to give it a shot.

orteeze · 11-23-2014, 09:21 AM

Update: They work! Minor rub at full lock. I'll update once I add 5mm spacers.

Looks good!

Aggressive look.

I'm interested to know what happens to your gas mileage.

11-25-2014, 09:50 AM

So the fronts have 5mm spacers in those pics? Did you have to roll the fenders at all?

orteeze · 11-25-2014, 10:10 AM

No spacers yet. It very seldomly rubs. The only time it consistently rubs is when I turn left going up my driveway.

orteeze · 11-25-2014, 10:11 AM

No fender rolling needed. My issue is the inside wheel well.

Cloud9blue · 11-28-2014, 07:59 PM

I would really be careful if I were you. I have seen a few cracked front fender on e92 over the years on this forum from people running similar setup.

FrankiE90 · 12-04-2014, 03:21 AM

Amber delete?
2-3mm maybes + moar low.

-Ur bimmer looks clean - congrats.-

orteeze · 12-05-2014, 10:10 AM

No, previous owner spray painted the side markers. I haven't decided which type to purchase.

I agree, needs more low. I'm afraid my chances of rubbing will increase dramatically if I go too low. Maybe some H&R Sport Springs.

Anyone know of any other springs that drop maybe around .75" instead of 1" or more?

redghost · 12-08-2014, 10:21 AM

That's so wide it's damn near pornographic. =D
