E92 Tire Stretch! Need Help!

amill411 · 10-25-2011, 02:33 PM

Just purchased a set of BBS LM-R reps sizes are 19x8.5 et35 and 19x10 et32. Running on Tien S-Tech springs. I was looking for tires for these wheels and I found that I like the way 235/35/19 looks on the rear and I figured a 215/35/19 for the front. I haven't been able to find and pictures of anyone running this same setup. It seems most of the guys from the forums run 245+/35/19's for the rear and 235/35/19's for the front.

How will my setup look? Too much stretch? Eventually I'd like more low but for now just springs.

Please no bashing on stretch. We all have our own preferences.

Youll have a hugh fender tire gap with those width and offset. The stretch above will not justify anything unless your offsets are in the +10. Basically youre stretching for no reason but just for the look of stretch. Add a 15mm all around with 215/235, everything will look better this way.

Thanks for the input! Yeah I was also concerned with the offset. Should have posted something in accordance. Thanks much, will look into spacers.

You can use this car as a reference 10 +20 265/30. Look at his gap now imagin yours being 12mm more sunk and a stretched 235 @ 45 degree angle.

+1 and a 95mm stud conversion

235/35 rear is fine with the spacer also - be sure to roll the fenders.

Don't stretch if you're not on coilovers.

There's no such thing as halfway crooks.
