LM rep options

javajaws · 02-18-2010, 06:42 PM

Before you answer "Linea Corse", please read...

I've got a 2010 E90 w/M-sport. I really want that LM look. What I DON'T want is that "stretched" look. Where I am from that "stretched" look brings back bad memories of ghetto cars that I just can't equate with "hot" or "fast" or "mean", etc...but I digress.

If I went with LC LMs I think I'd be ok on the fronts with 235/35/19, but the rears worry be a bit because it seems everyone is running 265/30/19 on those 10" LC LM rears....which in most of the pictures I have seen have the tires looking a bit stretched. I'm hesitant about getting 275/30 rubber for fear of rubbing....unless everyone things those will be ok.

I don't really plan on getting the car lowered from where it is now nor rolling the fenders...I'm just looking for an easy swap and go.

Thoughts? Other LM rep options?

My preferred tire of choice in the past has been PS2s...do these tend to run wider/narrower than the norm? Other tire options that might run a little wider?

I would still go with LC's. If you're not lowering, I don't see any problem with running 275 in the back, maybe someone else can chime in. I believe PS2's have a wider sidewall. Toyo TR1's are supposedly a lot easier to fit larger tire sizes.

You will be fine with the 275 rear, that's what is being run on this car:

and that car is lowered.

We are an authorized dealer for Linea Corse wheels if that is what you are looking for. I know that you are concerned with the fitment of the rear wheel on your car as well and as an alternative we have the BMW Classic Mesh style wheel available for you to check out as well which is available in 19x8.5 and 19x9.5 !
