can use rear 255/35 R19 tires?

KAY-OS · 10-02-2019, 05:25 AM

I am currently on Rear 19x9.5J ET45 rims with Advan AD08R 255/30. Unfortunately, I blew a rear tire and shops here don't have AD08R stock at the moment. I wish to use similar level of tire but 255/30 size isn't that common. So, I plan on using RE71R 255/35 R19. Is it doable? Anyone here using 255/35 R19 tires? Any issues? I know it's not recommended, side wall is too thick and it will affect speedometer readings, but there isn't much choice with 255/30.
Thanks for your help.

I wouldn't recommend it. Those are going to be significantly taller than the 255/30/19 and will probably rub constantly. It would be much more headache than it's worth. You might be better off trying to stuff a 265/30/19 back there and add some negative camber, if possible.

Thanks for your reply. I have KW coilovers, so if I raise the rear a bit, should that help? Also, I just found out a dude I know have installed 255/35 R19 at the rear with no rubbing. Would like to know if others have issues with this tire size. Thanks.

Just picked up 2018 M240i xDrive, square set up came with the car.
I am planning to install Eibach springs and staggered set up,
Option 1 : front 235/35R18 and rear 255/30R18
Option 2 : front 235/40R18 and rear 255/35R18
Do I need roll my fender with either above set up, and shouldn't need extra spacer?
What's the offset I can use on concave wheels to make it look good?

Thank you for your opinion and suggestion.
