21" Niche Essen tire help
Hey guys so I'm officially over have the run flats so i figured i'd get some rims as well. I need advice on tire size for 21" Niche Essen. Im on stock suspension now but will get some springs soon. (2011 535i)
F 21 x 9 ET 35 R 21 x 10.5 ET 35 I saw another member on here running a 10mm spacer in the front, is that going to be necessary? |

Okay i think he ran a spacer to just get flush. He ran a 245/35/21 front 285/30/21 rear but I'm just trying to figure out the best setup. |

I'm wondering if this is the same guy Dan? I bought my rear bumper from him. Drove all the way to New Jersey from Ohio lol! Really cool guy and yes, these wheels are pretty sweet looking in 21's! And you are right about the 10mm spacer up front but you don't need it? For more sidewall protection I'm sure you should be able to fit 255's up front and 295's in the rear

I mean 295/25/21, a 295/35/21 is over 29" tall and would not look good. You may or may not know but the second number "25 or 35" is a percentage of the width. Those tire sizes mentioned in the ad for thd used wheels are going to be the only options you have other than my reccomended sizes. A 21" wheel is actually 22 inches in diameter at the lip, so you need to keep the tire profile on the low side or your wheel and tire package will make your car look like a 4x4.

I'm running 245/35/20 front and 285/30/20 rear with the width and offsets you mentioned. If you want your wheels close to flush with fenders you could runs 10mm up front possibly 12mm. Rear are pretty flush could maybe do 5mm.
