235/265 Who has it?

BadOneThreeFive · 08-18-2011, 11:52 AM

If there is anyone out there that is running 19x8.5 front 19x9.5 rear with 235/265 tires please post some pics of your setup. Im looking to do this for my 1er and i wanna se how fitment will be. Thanks

I'll try and get pics up tonight though I'm already expecting to work pretty late. I've got this on my ARC-8 wheels (40F / 35R profile). They fit great - tires just make it to the edge of the wheels and look nice, IMO. Almost perfect balance w/ these offsets (45F / 63R, I believe) between the suspension and fender lips as well.

Sweet looking foward to your pics. i hate the look of overly stretched tires on a wide wheel where the wheel pokes out the sides. The setup i have now with my stock 18s is 225/40 F 255/35 R. Looks amazing and the tire is flush with the wheel. but with the 8.5inch front and 9.5 rear i think i need to up the width of the tires so i can avoid the "stretched sidewalls" look.

BadOneThreeFive · 08-18-2011, 01:10 PM

And the rims I want are the VMR V710 with +45 F and +50 R offset.

dicker · 08-18-2011, 02:06 PM

I'm running the 235/265 setup, the rear will need a roll with those wheels, the 235 front will fit jussstt right.

cooler2442 · 08-18-2011, 02:07 PM

I am running 225/35 265/30. Could have gone 235/35 as well I am sure but did not want to.

You may have to do a major fender roll for those rims to fit this.

I am running the Alufelgen SF 71 and I only minorly rub over huge bumps at the rear passenger tire so I only need a very small fender roll.

Unfortunately a 235/265 tire combo will be a bit difficult. The widest we recommend is a 225/255 without any rubbing issues at stock height. You may possibly be able to pull it off with Toyo T1R tires since they do offer a narrow width and rounded/short side wall.

You can do it with the Apex ARC-8's

Yup with apex's you can go 275 in the rear with no rubbing. But they do not look as good as other rims since they are designed to be 100% functional over looks.

I love the wheels that you have. I had a set of SF-71's on my E46 M3. However, I also like the fact that ARC-8's are only 18 lbs.

Yup, have to make compromises. If you want full performance rims then you go with Arc since they make the lightest rims and the most tire you can fit on rims for our car without going custom. But they don't look as good as others.

I personally though needed some looks as well so I went with the Alufelgen's which let me go 265's with just a minor fender roll or no roll at all since its very minor rubbing so I haven't rolled my fenders.

BadOneThreeFive · 08-18-2011, 03:55 PM

well I may just go with 18s then. 19s are to much of a pain in the a$$! I like airs' setup. Looks real clean. But im gonna looking for flat black look. I was looking at the SF-17s but of coarse they dont have it in matte black with the 19x8 19x9 setup :-/

235/40/R18 265/35/R18 right? I like the setup you have.

GaryS · 08-18-2011, 05:01 PM

Well I have them on 18" ARC-8s too. But I thought the OP said 19" wheels. Fender rolling not even close to needed. I could easily fit 245/275.

edit: oops, I see 18" vs 19" did get discussed.

Yep, thats the tire setup I am using - Michelin Pilot Super Sports.

You could powder coat them matte black..

Nice I like. Ive decided to go 18s. cause i want wider tires for traction. with 19s its to much off a pain. plus i think handling will be better with 18s anyway and they are lighter. Thanks everyone for all the good advice!

BadOneThreeFive · 08-19-2011, 02:47 AM

Now its what brand tire to go with. I was set on getting the Yoko AD08s but now im hearing they aren't so great for the heavy price tag it has.

BadOneThreeFive · 08-19-2011, 02:57 AM

heres the setup i have now. OEM BMW wheels. I painted them black myself. these are with the bridestones tires you get when you buy the car. Right now i have S-drives 225/40 255/35.

Lambobimmer · 08-19-2011, 05:40 AM

If you have a G to spend, by the Michelin Pilot Super Sports. It is better than any other tire on the market right now.

BadOneThreeFive · 08-19-2011, 06:33 AM

Yea i see the super sports have good reviews. and they are cheaper then the AD08s by about $150 from discount tire. Nitto INVOs look tempting too.
