Help with tires sizes!

STR8-6IX · 05-13-2017, 09:07 PM

I'm really torn on tire sizes right now.

I have style 269 rims. 19x8 front 19x9 front got pilot Super sports currently mounted. 225/35/r19 front 265/30/r19 rear.

I am thinking of going 245/40 all around next time, but I am worried that 245 will be too wide for An 8 inch rim up front. Would a 235 tire on the front work better? So in that case 235 front 245 rear is ok?

Thoughts? Should I just go 245 all around?

Are you sure those rim dimensions are right?

yes, bought them from an e92.

the offset for the e60 version is very aggressive on the front rim so I know I have the e90 version for sure.

you're running a staggered setup bro. why would you downsize the rear to a 245? that's a lot of stretch you're going to have on the rears if you plan on going from the 265 to a 245...make sense?

RWD. So 245 on the front is okay?

Yes, no issues.

The new G30 has 245/40-19 front tires on 8x19" wheels from factory.
