I'm looking to change the alloys on my 2013 f31 330d tourer and have found some on eBay and would like some advice to make sure they fit.
Currently I have-
235/35 19 front
255/30 19 rear
And the ones I'm looking at are from a 5 series-
245/35 19 front
275/35 19 rear
Please could anyone advise me that they will fit?
Thanks in advance for your help......

Quick bit of maths suggests that the larger tyres would result in something like a 6% increase in rolling circumference, giving you an equivalent reduction in the speedo reading - possibly not enough to notice at low speed, but maybe a problem if pressing on a bit and you're unlucky enough to pass a speed camera, thinking you are just the right side of OK.

Thank you for your great response, if that's the case would my original tyres fit the new alloys?
It's more the alloys I need as my old ones have developed a couple of cracks of which 1 isn't repairablefrown
Thanks

Are the "new" wheels the same offset as the ones you have now?

No, they won’t be. And on a touring, 275’s will likely rub.
