rear-275/30/19--what size fronts do I go with?

Sp82 · 10-26-2009, 11:39 AM

I've been told 245/35/19, as well as 235/35/19...what does everyone here recommend?

This will be for a 2010 335i coupe with OEM M sports package. I will NOT be lowering.

rims are 19x8.5 front
19x10 rear

obviously im no tire/rim expert, and am hoping some of you can give better suggestions/advice on what set up to run with.

i have 275 and 235 in the front looks good and no problems

Too large of a rear tire versus the front tire will increase the car's under steer. I personally went with 245s in the front, but without trying 235s, it's hard to say if it will be a problem. I think the more tire the better.

anyone else?? cmon now

You do not want to increase your staggered setup. We recommend to use a 245/35/19 front tire to match a 275/30/19 rear as long as the offsets allow it. What front offset are you going to be running?

Sp82 · 10-26-2009, 03:34 PM

40 fronts, and 38 rears

so stick with 245/35/19 for the front?...it wont be too big?..or funny looking?

Jred22 · 10-26-2009, 03:36 PM

im rocking 245's front, 275 rear on my 08 e90 335i.

You`ll be ok with a 19x8.5ET40 and 245/35/19. I`ll be more concerned about running a 19x10ET38 and a 275/30/19 on the rear. Your are very likely to rub.

Sp82 · 10-26-2009, 04:03 PM

I quadruple checked...everything..everywhere

on a oem sports suspension, I will not rub, I can go up to a 295 tire on the rear...

I would quintuple check if I were you.

19x10 ET +38 and a 275/30/19 on a E92 is not a combination that will be a guaranteed rub free. You`ll most likely rub with that setup although a slight fender roll could resolve that but it is not a setup that`ll guarantee no rubbing.

About a 295 series tire only on an M3.

245 for sure. with correct this will fit. I tried and even 9x18 with 265x35 semislick fitted in the front (with -2.8deg camber)

remmib · 10-26-2009, 05:04 PM

I'd go with 235/35.

Zeph · 10-27-2009, 10:24 AM

you can get away with 235 front (using 275 rear) if you find them cheaper but for handling/balance purposes you will definitely like the 245's better. Do you drive aggressively, like on a track? If this is your work car and grocery getter 235 is fine.

Sp82 · 10-27-2009, 12:37 PM

definately not on a track..its my daily driver...that I will push every now and then..... seems like 245 might be the way to go--Im not worried about the $ difference between the two, I just want whats going to be right, look right, and handle/perform right.

245 it is?
