Need Help Tire Sizes Xi E92

mellow729 · 06-02-2011, 08:29 AM

Hey Guys, I Know This Is Talked About Alot Here, It Seems From What Im Reading 275/30/19 Can Be Done On Xi Coupe...if Im Wrong Please Let Me Know, But I Think A Few Guys Here Have Done It...now For The Fronts Has Anyone Tried 245/35/19??
Desired Setup
245/35/19 Fr 19x8.5
275/30/19 Rear 19x9.5

35mm All Around
I Know 235 275 Is Best Match For Xi, But Would 245/275 Work? Can It Work? Again Its An Xi Coupe...any Feedback Would Be Appreciated..

That set up is nearly exactly a 1% difference in rolling diameter
235/35/19 and 275/30/19 would be a much better pairing

I have that on my e90 xi. No probs yet 1 week later. Going to the dealer today for a Sunroof problem. Took em off though! Not worth the risk with warranty. I told the dealer I Heard noise in the front end and they are going to check the transfer case. It was a lie, but j just Wana check and make sure. Let u know how it looks in a couple days. They say 1% or less. that set up is under, but barely....

I have 245/35/19 8.5 front
275/30/19 9.5 rear.

But my tires are used off a rear wheel drive car. This brings my ride more under that 1% rotational diff. Just a FYI. But I have no rub.

what about 235/35/19 265/30/19

RonnyBze · 06-02-2011, 03:35 PM

That's fine rafstar. It seems like what everyone runs, but I wanted bigger. I didn't want to destroy anything so I kept it below 1%. got a 2011 335 xdrive for a rental... Hahaha god have mercy on this car.

Back from the dealer and no damage yet! I'm going to run them and throw a set of eibach springs under it.

Hi I'm returning my M3 lease and have a set of VMR 710 18" wheels that have the proper offset for the 335xi coupe that I will be getting.

The size's are front: 245/40/18 rear: 265/40/18

The fronts are 8.5 wide and the rears are 9.5 wide.

Will this set be OK on the Xdrive? If to much difference, what size tire would fit best on both rims.

Maybe one size that would work with the different widths?

Thanks.
