Tire questions f10. 550xi drive

v8power550xi · 10-20-2018, 06:24 PM

I recently bought some rims and tires 19x8.5 all around I was looking at the car earlier and it seemed squared all around, some body told me I would not have enough traction, that I needed wider tires but I'm really confused about this I'm new to all this car stuff what kind of rear tires would I need for my 550xi f10[IMG][/IMG]

The biggest issue is that 235/35-19 is way too short for F10, 5% smaller than OEM size.

245/40-19 would be OEM size, if you like slightly wider 255/40-19 will also fit on those wheels.

So I can go ahead and just change the tires all around to 245/40-19 and it will be better right ?

Well the car should have a 275 on the back at minimum in my opinion. Msport would be a 275/35r19 but those won’t fit the wheels you have.
