Proper tire size for 19x9.5 / 19x10.5

rborane · 01-12-2020, 10:59 AM

What is the best tire size for those wheel specs? Looking to upgrade my 437m on my M4 which currently have 255/35/19 - 275/35/19, and want to keep it looking as oem as possible with the new wheel sizes.

You will be able to fit 275/30/19 on the front and 295/30/19 on the rear. It won't be as stretched as the OEM, but will give a more robust look and feel. I would recommend keeping the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires when you upgrade.

Check my build thread for details on my wheels/tires.

I would prob do a 265/295 combo for a 9.5" and 10.5" wheel.

I guess it depends on your preference for sidewall appearance and comfort. A 30 profile in those sizes will actually be smaller overall diameter than stock and give the appearance of a thinner tire. A 35 profile will be taller than stock and give a meatier tire look. Ride comfort wise the 35 profile will ride better than the 30 profile.

Would a 295/35 profile fit with 19s? I currently have 285/35/19 and want to go up in size but was advised not to. FWIW, My rear wheel is 19x10.5et34

You'd want a 295-30-19 for the rear. 35 will be too tall.
