Tire size

sultanq · 09-14-2010, 12:28 PM

So I'm planning to get new wheels next summer 19s or 20s but I wanted to know what would be the best size of tires. I have a 2007 335i coupe and it doesn't have a sports package. I was thinking of getting 265 would they fit? Anybodys input and advice would be appreciated like the ride difference or stiffness in the steering wheel.

I'm running 235/35/19 in the front & 265/30/19 in the rear. In my opinion, they are perfect. Compared to the 18" RFT's, the ride is much more comfortable and the back end is easier to control.

I can't help you much, other than saying there is quite alot of info in the tire section.

20s are a bit overkill, 19s look good. i use 225/40/18 in front and 255/35/18 in rear for regular street driving and it works great. it all depends on how you plan to use them and personal preference

With a proper rear width and offset, 265 will be a easy direct bolt-on fitment. Most guys on here will be running a 9.5 +30-33 offset wheel with a 265 tire.

I would suggest 19's over 20's You have ton's more wheel styles to choose from than in 20's, and not to mention, 19 inch tires are more reasonably priced in comparison to 20's.
