I have a 2013 335i xdrive sedan and have some staggered wheels:

Front: 19*9 et 35
Rear: 19*10.5 et 45

I want to have some sidewall for the Colorado roads and am trying to avoid stretch and don’t want to lower because I drive this to the mountains in the winter. If I use a narrow tread tire like a Ventus Evo can I get away with running:

Front: 255/35/19
Rear: 295/30/19

This is a perfect 26 inch diameter.

I’ve read a billion threads but haven’t come across this often. If I bailed out on staggered and went square would 19*9 et 35 look goofy in the rear?

Thanks for the help.

Out of the billion threads, you must've missed this one. It'll have a hair of poke at oem camber

19x9 et35 with 255/35/19 will have slight tuck but look fine in the rear

I saw that but I wasn’t sure what tire he was running. I know PSS run wider than Hankook.

Thanks

here's what 255/35/19 square at ET35 on a 19x8.5" looks like...

the center of the tire is based on ET. 19x9 rim edge will be 0.25" further out(and in on the inside) since it is 0.5" wider. the tire centerline will be at the same place but will sit more square on 19x9.

ADDED...here is 255/35/19 on 19x9 ET32. ET35 will be 3mm further tucked...https://f30.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh...2&postcount=15

Awesome, thanks again aloha. I think I may switch to square. 🍻

While 295/30/19 on deep concaved wheels will arguably look meaner and help from a dig, it costs a lot more, decreases fuel economy, increases understeer.

255/35/19 square at ET35 is rotatable, cheaper and will have no issues.
