E92 LCI max tire sizes without mods

GreQonE · 10-12-2015, 06:26 AM

Hello everyone,

I have 2011' E92 LCI 335i with M-Sport suspension.

What I would like to ask is what maximum width of tires can I use for 18' or 19' wheels.

I would like to fit something like 285+ on the back and 255+ on the front.
Is that in the realm of possibility for this car?

Cheers

Are going to be dropped from stock suspension?
If so, I would say you're closer to maybe 275, depending on height still..

I don't think I'm going to change suspension height-wise

So 275 on the rear and 255 on the front?

This is going to depend largely on the specs of the wheels that are on the car.

Hello, thought I'd post here since I'm in a similar situation.

I would like to run a wide track setup for my E92 LCI.

Front: 18x9.5 ET35 (+10mm spacers) 255/40/R18
Rear: 18x10 ET25 (no spacers) 285/35/R18

This will be on the stock M-sport suspension.

Since I don't wish to lower the car any, and plan to use this as a track setup, would there be any rubbing or issues with the setup on stock height?

I intend on buying new set of wheels, so tire fitment isn't an issue, as I can get the "right" rims.

What would I need to buy?

GreQonE · 10-19-2015, 03:03 PM

Anyone please?

I'm after VMR810 wheels.
8.5 front and 9.5 rear would do?

Recommended fitment for E92 LCI (Non-M) is 8.5" front and 9.5" rear, +35 front and +33 rear. Feel free to PM us for any assistance. Huge discount for forum members.

I'm the same e92 19 inch msport and the run flats are a pain on the roads here. So how wide can you go tyre wise? I don't like the stretched look at all.
