Will 275s Rub?

frahuang · 03-22-2010, 06:26 PM

I got a good deal on a set of E46 M3 19inch wheels. I want to put these on my 08 E90, lowered on Eibachs. The M3 wheels are 19x9.5 et27. It seems most people use 265/30/19 on these but I want to see if 275/30/19 will work? It seems it should work but I just want some expert opinions here. Any input is greatly appreciated.

you might be close with your pre lci. I ran 275 30 19 on my OEM Comp pkg wheels and had to fender roll but was 98% no rub after the roll.

i have an 06 e90 with those exact wheels. my rear tires are 255/35-19.

i am not lowered and on stock suspension but if i was it would still fit. honestly not sure if i would want to put a 275 on it though.

maybe if you look at this thread you can see a pic where the lip of the rim ends in relation to my rear fender and get an idea of where your 275 will extend to.... i wanna say that the fender sits 1/8th of an inch out from the edge of the lip according to my square

They will most likely rub...you'll need to fender roll or go with 265's

Perform a search "275/30/19" within this Wheel and Tire Forum, and you'll find a host of already posted answers to this subject alone.

Ok, looks like 265 is the way to go, don't wanna fender roll. Thanks guys.

I think 275 on ET27 will most likely rub.
