245/35/21 and 285/30/21 Okay to run?

Hello all,

Is this setup okay for a 2011 F10 535I M-Sport. My concerns were that the sidewall is too tall and the overall diameter will be greater than stock. Does anyone run this setup and have you had any problems?

Thanks!

for 21"s you should run 255/30/21 front and 295/25/21.

Your size might be too tall.

Thanks for the reply Evolve. Unfortunately this is what they shipped me. Is this something i should bring to attention to the seller of the wheels that the tires are not the correct size?

Hoping someone is running this setup and confirm that this is okay or not okay?

Happy Sunday everyone.

Happy Sunday everyone.
I have the same size but haven't mounted them due to the weather. Is your setup from nitrous garage?

I've seen these sizes before and I don't think it will be a problem. When are your wheels arriving?

Dan1416 thanks for chiming in. Yes, my wheels are from Nitrous Garage... I assume yours are too, as I heard of someone who had purchased another set of Niche Essens but was waiting to mount them. Everything I've read this far indicates that this setup is too tall for the car. The specs show 3.8% larger OD than stock.... Also the wheel looks fairly large with this bulky of a tire.

Will receive mine tomorrow and hopefully mount after this winter storm passes this week.

Yeah, Hankooks purchased from Tirerack.com

My suspension is D2 coilovers. The tire size is perfect. No rubbing even though I dropped the car.

I might be selling my Coilovers soon. Gotta baby on the way so racing coilovers is not practical. lol If interested pm me.

I have the same question....will this setup mess with the rolling ratio? I'm patiently waiting for my bc forged hb04 to arrive...21x9 21x10.5...will these tires make the lips stick out? Will it have any issues with a drop with h&r's? Thanks the help in advance to all my wheel experts....
