Anyone running 245/35/19 fronts on a lowered M?

Post by bmwaddict » Sun Mar 11, 2018 3:25 pm

I'm putting my summer wheels on soon, 9x19 fronts, 10x19 rears, et38 all round, and my car is lowered 25mm, I want to try and avoid any tyre stretch if possible, I know 235/35 fits just fine as that's what I've got on now, although on an 8.5in rim.

Is anyone running a 9x19 front on a lowered M and if so, does a 245/35 tyre fit without too much rubbing? A bit of an expensive mistake with Michelins if I have to go back to 235 so I thought id put it out there, have asked a couple of people but got no definitive answers.

Many thanks in advance.

I've always ran 245/35/19 on the fronts, never had an issue. Here's a pic for reference... rims are 8.5 inch et 30.

Thanks for the pic and info! :thumbsup:
How much is your car lowered by? Looks lower than mine.
I'm going to run a 9in front so a little bit more width on both sides, but higher offset so should balance out as pretty much the same, inner arch space wise.
