Firehawk Indy 275/35r19
I got a set of wheels coming in Wednesday & I'm looking for some input from anyone, but particularly from Firehawk Indy 500 users. How do these tires tend to run in terms of width? I have a set of 275/35r19 for my rears coupled with 245/40/19 on my front ordered. I don't mind ever so slight poke, but it is a concern. Consulted with alohasurftoad in the DMs (shoutout for the massive help), but per his advice would also like to seek community input. Thanks.

19x9.5 et38... with 275/35, it will poke...lowered car will be alright. Like...the oem 437m wheel has 19x10 et40. Poke so people order 265/35 |

Kinda bummed because I like that big booty look. Thanks, Gen. Edit: I checked out 437m on an F30 that was 19x10 et 40 wrapped in 275/35, and that poke isn’t bad. It’d be less since I’m 9.5 with 2 mm difference in offset. I don’t know...what do you think, Gen13 F36 ? Last edited by Donteflon; 02-21-2020 at 10:46 PM.. |

Do you have the budget for lower if rubbing issue . In paper it really look like a good setup there some good examples on this thread https://f30.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1166496 |

The rim lip will poke less and tire will poke 2mm more on the 9.5 +38 compared to the 19×10 +40

I have this same rear setup on my 435 and I have not had any issues. I think it looks perfect with the 437M wheels. One of my buddies has the same size on his 335i. Check out his IG (grndtour_f30) He is also lowered on H&R springs. He might be on MPSS now tho. The Firestones seem to run a little wider
I did a review on these tires on my channel also if you are interested:
