Tyre size

[mr2turbogts]

Just purchased some new alloys

Does anyone know what the recommended tyre size is for the following wheels

9x19
10x19

These are going on a E93 335i, internet is tell me

245x35
265x30

Also beside black circles, is there another recommended place to get rubber from?

What are the approved tyres sizes shown on the tyre sticker on the car?

Don’t you just enter the reg number on black circles or whatever to find out what tyres it should have?

I am guessing that it may not have come with 19 inch wheels, hence black circle won’t list tyres for this car to fit these wheels.
If the OP tells us what the standard tyres sizes are then we should be able to work out what 19 inch tyres will fit the wheels and will give approximately the same overall circumference.

Aah yes sorry that makes a lot more sense.

Ah sorry I should have made it a bit clearer.

The car came with 19’s but the new alloys are an inch wider.

Currently has

8x19 front with 225/35/19
9x19 rear with 255/30/19

New alloys are

9x19 front
10x19 rear

The first answer you received is still the right one.

Are your current wheels the OEM originals? If so you have your answer for the 9x19's from your original wheels i.e. 255/30/19
However, a quick Google revealed this, it might help...

"Hi guys,
so i guess i might have a small problem on choosing the right tire sizes for the wheel combination i plan to purchase.

If everything goes according to my plan, i´m gonna purchase a set of BBS LM in the following sizes:

10x19 +25 front
11x19 +25 rear

They should be put on my E82 1M Coupe, which shares the same axes and wheels with the E92 M3.
I am currently running on a KW V3, no camber plates whatsoever installed.

The main problem that i´m going to face (more than you m3 guys) is the clearance towards the wheel well when turning in (at 85% - 100% steering lock)up front. Of course, my mechanic is going to do his best with dremel, heat gun and cutting, but i am trying to choose the wheel combination that is going to give him the easiest base to start from.

As reminder, OEM sizes:
245/35/19 front on 9j wheel
265/35/19 rear on 10j wheel"

Have you looked at this website?

https://www.wheel-size.com/size/bmw/

It will list all combinations that will fit, and allows you to put in other figures to a real-time calculator. From this you should be able to get close to a solution. Then ask on a BMW-specific forum to get real-world experience.

Here's the calc page if you haven't looked:

I prefer the Terry Pratchett quote:

Set a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life.
