Was looking in my logbook, and the last service says the tyres were too big for the wheels on the rear. I have e90 m3 wheels they are 19 x 9 and the tyres are 265/35/r19, is this the right size? If not what is the correct tyre size? I get a whole lot of running in the rears at the moment!! Maybe a 255/30??
Yeah sorry, auto correct I meant rubbing. On the front iv got 245/35/19. I was thinking 255 / 30 will be a nice fit, I think 245 will be a bit of a stretch. Oh and it's rubbing on the inside of the guard and maybe looks like its rubbing a touch on the rear bumper.
The Offset is 45, not 100% sure but from what the previous owner told me, said they were OEM. So what offset, wheel and tyre set up would I need to run in order to get a rub free drive? What's your set up Jall?
You know what I meant, it's late.
Should have said fitment depends on offset and width. But you're right, what I was getting at is that one measurement on its own isn't enough to determine fitment.
Ok so the setup I have now on the rear is Et45 19x9 wheels with 265/35/r19 tyres and it rubs, the solution to a smooth drive with no rubbing will be 255/30 rear tyres, correct ??
Just diy'd mine with enamel paint & primer with a clear coat aswel cost me $70 all up, slow process doing it yourself but saved a fair bit of coin w/out compromising too much on quality.. Went from gunmetal grey to white, turned out pretty sweet
What size are you running on the front? I would run a 255/30.
You should also work out where you're rubbing, most of my rubbing was coming from the clip where the fender meets the rear bumper which won't necessarily be cured by a skinnier tyre. Tape up your fender with masking tape, go for a drive and see where the rub marks are.
