But the overall diameter of 225/35-19 is 1" short compared to OEM 225/40-19. It will influence the speedometer, and the tires may look small in the wheel housings. No serious issues but good to know!

Hi ss0803,
Thanks for your answer! So he will be able to use those new winter tires (225/35/19) on his 401 wheels without any serious issues!!
I tried to use the calculator on E90 side and the difference seems to be -3.15%. The dealer told him that one should never go more than a difference of +/- 0.5%. Is this true or they are just trying to get him to buy a new set of winter tires for his new car??
can anyone comment please and thanks?
