Hey all,
I am going to be running a staggered set of style 95's and have some real nice Michelin Pilot 4s tires I'd like to run. What do you all think, will they fit and not rub?
Those are 9" wide in the front, 10" in the rear, correct? If so, those tires are a bit too wide for the wheels. And a 275/30R19 is only 25.6" tall, stock E38 tires are around 27 - 27.3" tall. The 305/30 is 26.2" tall. They'll mount, but they'll be pretty bulgy and feel kinda mushy in the corners on top of being too short. If you care about performance and want the tires to sit a bit more square on the wheels, a 255 up front, 285 rear would be a good combo. For correct height, you'd want a 255/40R19 (27" tall) and a 285/35R19 (26.85" tall).
I just looked at them again and I was wrong the fronts are 275/35/19 and rears are 305/30/19. If I find another rear wheels (10") do yo think I could run 10" wheels on all 4 corners?
My 245/45/19's just barely clear the front struts.
Current: 2007 Z4 M Coupe (blue/black)
Previous: 2001 740iL Sport (black/black), 2000 528i Sport (black/tan), 1995 318is (black/black), 1991 318is (white/black)
That fender gap is awful... The tires are still far too short (height-wise) for the car.
It's on a hoist
So then the pictures don't prove that they fit and don't have horrible rubbing problems...
When its on the floor the rears have plenty of room, the fronts are very close so I might just go down to a 255
Yeah, I have the inverse of those wheels (convex rather than concave) and you can't fit a finger between the tire and the strut with 245/45/19's (stock e65 size.)
