Yes. It appears that it will work but I want to see if anyone here had that set up. I did search for answers but it really was confusing. There was no one saying I have this set up and it works. The rim sizes are 19/ 8.5 and 19/ 9.5.

I think it might work but it will be very close, I'd make sure before ordering. I've read that with those tires and 8.5 in the front, 42-43 offset is optimal and with 9.5 in the rear 48 is probably OK, but apparently 265s on the rear with 9.5" wheels is a tight squeeze especially if the car is lowered. I went with 8" x 19", 45 offset in the front and 9" x 19", 48 offset for the rear 235/35 and 265/30. This setup also yields a perfect scrub ratio.

I'm looking to do the same size/offset wheel and tire setup on h&r Springs and f80 LCA's.


Based on what I have seen, it should work..

depends on the tires you run.
some run bigger than others.

I run 235 fronts with nitto 01 and rub a tiny bit when turning, but a 235 mpss has no issue at all.

I checked that site for M235i staggered setup. It didn't recommend 235/35/19 for any of the front tire sizes, which makes me think that it isn't very reliable. Many people are running 235s in the front.

From what I've seen 19x8.5ET40 will fit a 235/35/r19 with no issues but I've not seen a 265 on more than a 9 inch wheel and you need pretty specific offsets to not rub. The dinan BBS CI-Rs are in the right sizes and recommend a fit with 235 front and 265 rear. I believe it's 19x8et44 and 19x9et48 but I'm not certain off the top of my head.

Have you looked at this thread?
19x8.5 ET35 19x9.5 ET40 235/265 Set Up http://www.2addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1225277

Others have successfully used 235's mpss in front and 265's mpss in rear on stock suspension.
