Hi Everyone,

I'll be getting new tires soon and need some advice. I want to get the widest PSS's that I can all the way around. I have 15mm spacers on the rear and would like to put some spacers on the front, but need recommendations on tire size and spacer size.

I plan on dropping the front about half an inch with lowering perches as well.

Car: 2011 335is
Wheels: 225M

• Front 19x8 et 37

• Rear 19x9 et 39

Spacers: 15mm on rear

• Rear 15mm

• Front What Size???

Tires:

• Front - what's the widest I can go without rolling fenders and what size spacer?

• Rear - what's the widest I can go without rolling the fenders and what size spacer?

Does it make sense what I'm asking advice on?

Thanks,
Greg

235/35/19 is the widest I would use on a 8" wheel. 265/30/19 for the 9" rear wheels. If you want wider tires you should use wider rims.

Thanks. Will a 12.5mm spacer be okay on the front with 235s and the half inch drop from the lowering perches?

Are you sure that the 225M is:
Front 19x8 et 37
Rear 19x9 et 39
????

Where did you get those offset sizes from?

According to this site: http://felgenkatalog.auto-treff.com/ page 10, those are the specs.

I went ahead and got 10mm spacers for the front and don't have the lowering perches yet. I'm pretty sure I'll be fine with a 10mm even after I lower it and get wider tires.
