Tire Size for Wide Wheels?

Misturrtinnie · 08-08-2013, 08:06 PM

Okay, well I'm gonna need some advice on some tire sizes. Wheels I'm gonna be ordering is:

19x12 & 19x14

Question is what size tires would fit and give me an even stretch?

To what car?
Is the car M-series or does it have widened fenders?

To stock E9x that's seems quite impossible.

This is #Tee's car. Specs are at the other link.

Subtract four inches from each of those widths and we're getting somewhere.

If you're in uncharted territory like this, shouldn't you know what size tires to run? It's so far out from the norm that I don't think anyone would be able to help you. Some of the guys with widebody kits may be close, but there's only a handful.

do it and don't look back, get a 225/40/19 in the front for sure no questions, and a 255/35/19 in the rear should be perfect LOLOLOL

MonacoBlueE90 · 08-09-2013, 10:07 AM

Just to clarify you would need atleast about 19x12 et 0 to clear inside at front. That setup would poke 34mm more than what #Tee have.

Sort of my thoughts as well. Usually people that are going that aggressive know what it will take to fit something like that!

OP - It won't be possible without serious modification.

Judging by your pasts posts about your current wheel setup...

Troll thread?

No troll at all. Car is coming out of the body shop with a 3.5 inch front fender flare with a 6" rear wide extension in the rear. Yes I'm going ridiculously wide. So need some wheels to match. I'm prolly gonna need something around 19x14 -40 for the rear.

Best tires I found will be a 305 30 19. I really don't think that will stretch on a 14". So I might have to do a 13" in the rear with a lower offset.

Haha I will right after I get the wheel set up done right. The car is also getting repainted and stripped for a track set up.

spent a good amount of money on the car. But I do need to get the wheel set up correct.

Don't get me wrong I'm running an 11" right now stretching a 245 35 19. I just never seen stretches that are 13"+ wide very new territory for me.

Perhaps it would be wiser to get wheels and tires first, and then have the body shop work around your wheel and tire selection.

It would be but I got too anxious and impatient so now it's gonna bite me in the ass. Haha now I gotta measure and research until I get it perfect.

Double Derp...

And hey I know this is a little OT but....im also currently shopping for wheels and wondering what you guys recommend as an aggressive track setup on 18s. Someone told me E46 M3 offset is money for pre-lci e90. What do u guys think?
