Will 245 45 19 front and 275 40 19 rear fit my 2014 435i convertible without rubbing? Was offered a great deal on an almost new set .

OEM tire diameter is 26", the tires in question are both 27.7". raising the car 0.85" with over-diametered tires will be the equivalent of a "clown shoes" appearance.

even if you could get them on, the rear will rub under compression and front will rub the fenderwell liner while turning. increased tire weight, rolling resistance(width) and gearing (6.5% taller) will degrade acceleration and braking performance, immensely.

be sure to post pics and a review

Kind of what I thought but had to ask. 5 pirelli run flats like new for $600 is hard to pass up. But if they won't fit . Thanks.
