Fitment advice

billeul · 09-25-2010, 09:46 AM

Hello,
I am new to this forum having recently sold my 545i and purchasing a 2009
335i coupe with 6MT and sports package. I am pretty sure I know the answer to my question, but would like to hear your opinions.

The wheels and tires that came on my 335i have the following specs

FRONT Style 189, 8 X 18, ET:34 225/40-18 Michelin runflats
REAR Style 189, 8 1/2 X 18, ET:37 255/35-18 Michelin runflats

The wheels that I can purchase, off a 2007 550i, have the following specs

FRONT Style 128, 8 X 19 ET:20 245/35-19, Michelin Sport A/S
REAR Style 128, 9 1/2 X 19, ET:32 275/30-19 Michelin Sport A/S

I ran the calculator and got the following results:

FRONT: 14 mm more clearance strut side, outside edge will extend extra 14 mm. Orig Dia 25.09 new Dia 25.75 (2.584% difference). At 60 read 62.

REAR: 8 mm less clearance strut side, outside edge will extend extra 18 mm. Orig Dia 25.03 new Dia 25.5 (1.838% difference). At 60 read 61.

Need your 2nd opinions as to whether the new wheels and tires would work on my 335i. TIA

The problem is the ET20 front with 245/35 tires, and on an e92 275/30 with ET32 can rub too.
