Need help with new tires

MGF22brandon · 03-26-2017, 05:13 PM

I recently got new 19" wheels and now it's time to get tires. I'm looking for the best performance/summer tires to keep on my summer wheels. I'm not firmiliar with tire sizes. What's the biggest tires I could get without rubbing? Thanks

Recommend 235/35/19 front and 265/30/19 rear

Is this the most aggressive setup? I want to limit the wheel gap in both the front and the rear.

xDrive?

MGF22brandon · 03-26-2017, 08:29 PM

Yes. Front and rear wheels are the same size.

pretty sure you need to stick 235 all around since it's xdrive. Also, you mentioned you want to minimize wheel gap so you really should be looking at coilovers or lowering springs since running a larger diameter or wider wheel won't do anything to minimize gap. I had this issue on my last Lexus, it was AWD and the wheel gap was enormous. Once I put coils on it, it looked great.

Uh wheel specs are kinda necessary to make any recommendations. Anyone saying a size without knowing the wheels specs could be giving you very bad advice.

What are the wheel widths and offsets?

As always, the people at Tire Rack should be very helpful if you give them all the specs on the wheels.
