I just bought some Niche Essen wheels for the MY15 sportline 335i. I already have a set of 245/35/19 tires and am trying to squeeze the widest tire possible on the back while keeping a similar rolling diameter.

The wheel specs are

Front:
19x8.5 +35
19x10 +40


There isn't really a good 275 option since stock rolling diameter is 26"

275/30/19 - 25.5
275/35/19 - 26.6 - Leaning this way
285/30/19 - 25.7 - First choice.

I'm hoping since the 285 is a little shorter i might be able to fit it without rubbing. All i could find is a guy running 285s on a 10.5" wheel with 42 offset and he's slammed.

Thank in advance!

Dunno if this will help but I'm on 19x8.5 et33 19x9.5 et40 245/35 & 275/30 with H&r sports. Mine is the mineral grey towards the bottom of the thread listed here, no rubbing issues whatsoever

Thanks for the reply. How much room do you have between the outer lip of the tire and fender? How much room do you have on the inside?

How do you like the 30 series? Would you go with a 35 next time around for a little more meat?

I can try to take some measurements tomorrow, but dunno about the inside.. I do wish the rear tire to be slightly thicker than the front but this size was recommended by most shops I asked. My next set of tires will be PSS instead but still undecided if I'll go 35.

Thank you. I think I'm going to play it safe and stick with the 275/35. The difference between that and the 285/30 is only .3" wider. Not worth the risk of rubbing just for looks.
