Non runflat tyre sizes - implications?
The fronts overall diameter that you have is 647mm. A difference of 13mm over stock which will make the car around 6mm taller at the front. The tyres fill the arches better though with the 19s rather than the 17s.

del_tl1000r, gap between tyre and arch seems quite a bit more than your set up, surprising considering my tyre dimensions and the std suspension.

I see what you mean. Is your driveway perfectly flat as mine isn't and the car sits a bit weird on it? One side can look as though the car is high and the other side looks like it has been lowered

del_tl1000r, yeah it's the same both sides.

I'm at work just now but I'll check when I leave and take pics. I'll use the finger method. I take it that's the gap at the top of the arch?

Nictrix, ah you spotted the deliberate mistake... even BMW didn't notice today, and they were all over the wheels.
Lesson learned... take your time!
Call me novice... But don't see how this will affect the gap between arch and tyre.

It wont affect the gap at all, I just thought you might want to know your tyres were on wrong.ZedConvert wrote: ↑Fri Jul 12, 2019 11:12 pm Nictrix, ah you spotted the deliberate mistake... even BMW didn't notice today, and they were all over the wheels.

Does it drive better in reverse?
