has anyone run VMR 701's 19x9.5 et22 's with Michelin PSS's on the rear of an E92 coupe? I am currently running this setup with FK452's without rubbing, I was wondering how much more space Michelins PSS require? Perhaps I should go with a 255 rear tire instead of a 265?

I am rolling my rear fenders this weekend and am wondering what size spacer I can use without running camber outside of factory recommendations.

Rear:
19x10 et 38mm
265/30/19 Hankook Ventus

Dropped on ST1s

Could I run a 5mm with the rolling or would I be able to push it up to 10mm?

Thanks!

With fender rolling you can def run a 5mm spacer and most likely a 10mm spacer.

So I was able to fit 19x9.5 ET22 with Michelin Pilot Super Sports in 265/30/19 lowered on ST coilovers.

They were originally rubbing. You need to grind down that piece of metal at the edge of the fender where it meets the bumper. When you run your finger in that area it will be obvious what I am talking about.

Now I have NO rubbing with a tire that has a very tall non rounded sidewall on M3 fitment wheels!

Joe. thanks for the feedback! I appreciate it. I actually have some H&R 10mm spacers sitting around from my ride pre-drop. I will roll the fenders next weekend after all and report back my findings.

Hopefully my 10s work just fine as you mention.

Will an 18x8.5 et18 on 225/40/18 tire fit on the rear of a 335i that isn't lowered? The size is weird because it's for winter.

Based on the calculator up there it will stick out more than my current style 230s by 13mm. And my research tells me that it should fit fine. I just want confirmation of no rubbing from the experts on this thread.

Thanks!

Hey guys,

Looking to see if I can fit a 265 tire in the rear on an lci e92 with 18x9.5 +22? i am on stock suspension and am planning on having fenders rolled, but would like to step up to 265 if i can and not be limited to 255. Thanks!

A thin sidewall tire like the Falken Fk452 (265/30/19), can make this fit, especially with a fender roll.

I am running 19x9 ET22 with Michelin PSS (SUPER TALL TIRE) and I am rolled and grinded, and I still rub once in a while. When I had FK452's I only rubbed with fat people in the back seat. And I am lowered.

Sweet! I'll check out that tire, I was looking at Continentals at first, but may be swayed towards Falken now. Thanks!

I have a great deal on a set of 8.5x20 et 31 and 9.5x20 et35. My concern is that the only tires I can find with close enough rolling diameters are 245/35/20s and 275/30/20s.

I've read through this twice and everything else I can find. I'm guessing this will be very close on my 2011 e92xi. Any help is appreciated.

Use the tire rack calculator above, not sure if you want to do this or not. The outside diameter is much bigger than stock. I wouldn't do it, never mind if they fit or not. This would be a real trial and error thing.

[Game]

Rim Width: 9.5/10.5
Rim Diameter: 19
FRONT +20 REAR +22

Guessing these won't fit then?

That will fit but the rears will need a roll and possibly a lil more camber than oem spec.

a 225/35 in the front and a 265/30 rear would do you fine. Just as long as you get a tire with a round sidewall like the falken 452.

[DonJuan360]

So with those offsets the M5 and 172s should fit ,no ?

[BGg30]

Looking to get some TE37SL's was wondering if this would fit. Probably wrapped in Falken 452s
What size tires would you recommend.
I'm lowered on ST coils.

F 18x9.5 ET22
R 18x10.5 ET20

F 18x8.5 ET35
R 18x9.5 ET22

I'm also curious on this, but interested in the Michelin Pilot Super Sports.
2007 e92, stock height but will be on ST coilovers soon.
I'm looking at:
F 18x8.5 ET35 - 235/40/18
R 18x9.5 ET22 - 265/35/18

I know I will need fender rolling in the rear.
Thoughts?

There's no reason to get the ET22's in the rear. Get the ET35's and just run various spacers. I run 275/35-18 PSS's in the rear on ET35's and no spacers. This way you'd have flexibility. You can space them outwards but you can't space them inwards if you change your mind later.

Guys, 12' E92 owner here with stock M-sport suspension, Im pretty sure the suspension is different at least when I pulled the vin it said M-sport suspension on the build sheet. Anyway Im thinking of going with 8.5 x 20" 235/35/20 w/35 o/s and 9.5 x 20" 275/30/20 w/32 o/s, that puts me about 11mm front and 17mm rear over stock set-up, your thoughts? Also, why is everyone going with 19's and just a few of us are looking at 20's? performance or fitment issues?

20's would be very thin tires.... not sure about you, but even with non run-flat 19" the suspension still crashes over bumps. 20's look nice, but I am not sure I want to take MORE of a hit to the ride.

Is there any proof that 20's handle better? maybe the lower profile tires give better steering response, but does that translate into better handling? I can't answer that.

Anybody?

Good point! Thanks
