    Jim,

    The dimensions of the wheels I was considering are: "staggered"
    8.5"x20" front, 9.5"x20" rear.

    So I was considering tires: Front: 255/35/20 (10.04x27.03), rear: 285/30/20 (11.22x26.73”)

    I drive a '93 325iS, and am wondering if these are going to fit, how much wheel will stick out, and what tire size i should get?

    What is the largest tire I can fit on a 19x10 wheel?

    Spastic...that is hard to say...I am running HRE's too, welcome to the elite :-) I am running 19x9's up front with 255/35/19's and 19x10 in the rear with 285/30/19's. Keep in mind that this is only possible because I have flared fenders... What brings me to this thread is my question above. I am about to move up to 295/30/19's in the rear but I was wondering if Mr. Tire rack could give me his insight as to the largest tire I can run on a 10.

    Thanks,

    I am ready to order.

    PS Do BF.C members get any sort of discount? The tires I am looking into are the 295/30ZR19 Bridgestone Potenza RE960's. shipped 94945

    forevernewbie,

    It is too hard to say for sure. The problem is brake clearance and the offset does not tell the wholce story. I would say that they would probably work if they were on a 330 BMW because they have larger brakes. The tire size would be correct.

    Jim, I have a 89 E30 with OEM rims. It calls for 195/65/VR14 tires. I can't seem to find them. What size will work on this summer vehicle, hardly ever in the rain. I think I drive the car hard.

    adcforall,

    The only other size to go with is 205/60R14. If I can help let me know.

    With the wheels you have I would say 235/40R17 front and 245/40R17 rear.

    OK
    now, since I live in Tahiti,
    how would I go about ordering tires from tirerack?

    any suggestions in tires, considering we have summer all year round and the car is used for everyday driving as well as street racing

    I love the Falken Azenis on the street. I've ran SO3s and PS2s but these are tops. Excellent grip wet or dry and a stiff sidewall for immediate turn in.
    Ride is very good for a stiff tire. Not a problem at all, just like PS2s. Price is a lot less than PS2s. Check them out at ...

    My problem remains the same, they only ship within the US
    I have a freight forwarder in Los Angeles I can use to have them shipped to me in TAHITI
    maybe Jim from tirerack can help in there, or anyone else for that matter

    Hi,
    Does SSR make gt2's (or gt2h's) that will fit an e36 m3? Preferably 17x8 or 8.5. They don't turn up on the tirerack upgrade garage but I can't figure out why not. Is it the bolt pattern, the offset, brake clearance?

    Thanks in advance,
    Josh

    Hi quick question. I have an 05 325ci with stock sport suspension. I am considering getting FRONT19x8.5 (offset 40) and REAR19x9.5 (offset 45) staggered wheels. Will these wheels fit my car at all? Also, what is the best tire size to run with these wheels without having to roll my fenders?

    And will I ever rub if I have a full car without rolling fenders?

    NYCdude5000, The set up you mention would work but it may cause some rubbing depending on the tire and the alignment setting on the car..
