Can I fit a 275 tire without rubbing?

SilverJester · 02-27-2017, 03:46 PM

I have a 2008 e92 with the stock sport suspension option. I just ordered a set of Linea Corse LC818 19x8.5 +30 (front) and 19x10 +37 (rear). I plan on ordering a set of Pilot Sport 4S's probably 235/35/19 for the front, but was wondering if I could fit 275/30/19 in the rear without rubbing? I don't plan on doing any suspension mods other than a set of front lowering spring perchs (which lowers the front 10 - 15 mm). My rear fender are actually rolled right now because my stock wheels were rubbing on big bumps thanks to my spacers (which won't be needed with the new wheels). I want to fit the biggest tire in the rear I can without any rubbing. So should I go with 265 or 275?

275. I run a 275/30-19 on the rear of my car with 19x9.5. No rubbing.
I'm also running a 5mm spacer to get them as close to the fender as I can.
My car is a Pre-LCI E90.

But you have a an e90, and from what i understand, more room than an e92.

Anyone with an e92 running a 275 without issue?

I run a 275, had to get my fenders rolled. It would rub when it hit dips. I'm also lowered on KW's but I have them all the way up. Current specs are:
Front 19x8.5 et35 235/35/19
Rear 19x9.5 et40 275/30/19

Underground6t9 · 03-04-2017, 11:40 AM

I have 275/30-19 on 19x9.5" +32. I had to roll my fenders. Mostly rubbed over big bumps but it was annoying enough to need the roll.

Good to know thanks guys. I'm gonna order 275 then, my rear fenders are already rolled so i should be go to go.

I'm also going to try 255 up front and 275 down rear. Whatever it takes.

Note to all, take a peek at the tire sizes of the Michelin PSS and the new 4S tires.

For some reason, the new 4S tires are substantially narrower than their PSS counterparts. I have 265/30/19 PSS and the 275/30/19 4S is narrower than my 265's according to Michelin. They show the 275 4S to be comparably as wide as a 255 PSS.

Even if a 275 PSS is close, the 4S should give you more room.

On the original topic, I have 275/17 M/T Drag radials (bigger than PSS for the size) and they fit my e92 but rub on large bumps too. I do not think it is the width, but the height that is causing my problem, they scrub the plastic liner at the top of the fender well.
