I have an e92 335D which iv purchased new 313s for, 9.5 on the rear and 8.5 fronts.

I currently have bbs lm reps with the tyre size of:
Front: 245/35/R19
Rear: 265/35/19

They run okay with no rubbing etc, should i just buy the same size tires for the new 313's?

Or go with

235/35/19 instead of the 245/35
265/35/19 instead of the 265/35

Should be 225/35/19 and 255/30/19 from factory. But fit what you want really. You want to drop down to a 30 profile on the back to make the sidewall even front to back.

The tyres your running are M3 sizes.

If you like the look, and they fit, i dont see why you cant keep them...

Do you have any pictures by any chance of that setup? Would having 235/35 instead of the larger 245/35 make a difference to the ride comfort?

Every car with factory fit 19s. Any car with 313s supplied as standard, will be that.

Slight, but nothing at all really, sidewall would be 3mm bigger.

Thank you mate for the info, much appreciated

I actually prefer the M3 look, it gives a bit of rake to the car and the bigger rear tyres give an aggressive look.

I fancied doing it to mine but have a nearly new pair of 255's on the rear already.

Guys i have found a new michellin ps2 tire on ebay, however on the description it states: Tyre age DOT 2008

He claims that the tire is brand new, being out of date is their any issues with buying this?

I'd not buy an 8 year old tyre just to save a few pennies. Rubber doesn't store that well unless you store it correctly.

Maybe it's a mistake and not a DOT 2008?

[Aragorn30d]

Most tyre manufacturers say 6 years from DOT date you should stop using it as the rubber degrades.

I've seen it quite a few times on low mileage cars, where they've gone all cracked and perished due to the age despite having plenty of tread.

Thanks guys, it is a DOT 2008, so i did not purchase

Would this fit an e92?

I need a spare bbs lm rep, for my front 8.5 19" alloy.

I have seen one for sale, an his ad states:

X1 SPARE FRONT BBS LM REP 19" 5x120 ET+35

Apparently they come off his VW T4 van


Does anyone know if this is ok for my car?

[Aragorn30d]

yeh it'll most likely fit.
PCD is the same and the offset is right.

Centre bore might need adjusted though.
