Will these tire sizes work?

anderson87 · 02-27-2017, 07:41 PM

I was looking to see if i can go a bit wider. I have a 2014 435i Xdrive. Currently the original tire size on the 442 rims is 225/40-19 on the front with 255/35-19 on the rear. I have read about keeping the rolling diameter very close with having Xdrive. I was thinking 235/40-19 front and 265/35-19 on the rear which I believe will keep the rolling diameter very close. Just not sure about the 265/35 in the rear as I read that may be getting too wide for the stock rims. Anyone running these sizes or aware if it would work??

No issues with those tires causing rubbing on OEM 8" and 8.5" wide wheels.

The problem is that the rear wheel is only recommended to fit maximum 255 tire width.

It's possible to actually fit wider tires, but it will look bulgy, it's not ideal for performance and it's not recommended from the tire manufacturers.
