BMW Style 95 Front Tire Size Question

Hey guys,

I know there are a million thread out there about style 95 745i oem wheels fitment, but no one seems to have tried to run 245/30 up front. Is this possible on a 07 335i?

I know I may have to run spacers but I'm just wondering. Ill be running 275/30 in the rear and I've heard I'm fine with rolled fenders which I have.

The sizes are 19x9 and 19x10 et24 all around.

Can someone shed some light on this?

i think a 245 might be too wide for a 9in. wheel. ive seen 225/35/19 or 235/35/19 on most cars running them

Won't be too wide for that rim, it's actually close to the perfect size from what I've read.

A 235 will be slightly stretched which isn't too bad. It will make it for sure fit inside the wheel well without rubbing.

Are you lowered? Pretty sure you will rub pretty bad with 245s in the front without some added camber and trimming away some problem areas of the plastic liner. I am lowered on eibach pro kits with ~ -1% camber on 19 x 8.5 et30s with wider 235/35s and I had to trim the liner on both sides. The 19x9 et24s stick out about 7 mm further than my wheels. I think that 235/35s work well with the style 95s on stock suspension but 225/35s or more camber or both may be required on a lowered car.

Hello, I'm running, 225/35/19 and 255/30/19 on those wheels.... Essentially closest to stock sizes. At stock height i rub in the rear over dips, i need to get my fenders rolled. If you plan on running spacers and lowered, You may have to run narrower tires... Have a friend running 235 in the rear and a 30 spacer slammed to all hell

With rolled fenders, 255 or 265 would be good... With the offset of these wheels, they are dead on flush with the fenders

I'm not lowered at all. Stock sport suspension with rolled rear fenders. If fenders are rolled I shouldn't bottom out on a 275/30 rear should I
