want to get tires for new rims

e84 · 05-16-2008, 11:07 AM

original 17'x8' 225/45/17 all around.
just got 19'x8.5' et38 all around rims.
wonder if 255/30R19 will fit on 8.5 width rims?
anyone knows?
thanks.

Thats a bit wide for the front. What exact year and model is it?

that it is bit much, typically you don't want anything bigger then 245 on a 8.5" wheels.

it is 07' e90 328i without sport package.

so i am planning to get 255/30R19, so that the car will look a bit lower and more aggressive with wider tires.

so do you have any recommendation? as you mentioned in the forum, that will be a bit too much, so do you recommend 245/30R19 on all four?

thanks.

ya 245 all around sounds like the max, I doubt you will get the lower look with bigger rims unless if you get springs though
