Hello,
I did a search for tire sizing for 19" wheels and did not find much. This is my first post on a BMW board so be kind.
My brother has 98 M3 and we found a smoking deal on tirerack for 19x8 OZ Superleggeras.
I drive a WRX so with the awd I'm not used tp the staggered tire sizes. I know his car has OEM 17" BMW wheels. He has 225/45 in front and 245/40 in rear.
Is the 40 series tire in the back a normal thing? If we get 19" I would hate to have to run 30 series because of the rough ride. If 19" wheels on E36 are a bad idea let me know, maybe we can look for some nice 18" wheels.
I was think maybe 245/35/19 all around?
Here's picture of his car. He bought it used and I don't think it's an OEM color, it pretty friggin sweet.
