Will 19 inch alloys fit on my BMW E46 325CI MSPORT COUPE

[rjm8282]

Please advise,

I have found a set of alloys I like but cannot find them in 18's. Will 19's fit and will it make a difference to the handling???


Thanks!

IGNORE THIS, DECIDED TO STAY WITH 18'S NON STAGGERED!!!!!!!

Surely as its a Sport it should have staggered 18's?

[rjm8282]

Yep, staying with staggered, need advice though.

I am buying some alloys - 19's - 8.5 front / 9.5 rear. I have been told the best tyre sizes would be 235/35 front and 255/30 rear. Is this right????

I had 8.5J*19 (ET35) all-round 235/35 Mich PS2 on my last E46.

How did you find the handling and tram lining effect on that set up?

Mines a 325CIMSPORT 2002, what model was yours???

Except for local plod thinking you're in the infancy of a new career dealing drugs.
Ride and handling with the standard 18s is bad enough, I dread to think what it would be like on anything larger with lower profile tyres.

I found no issues at all.

I've had 20s on a 330 sport cab and an M3 cab

I run 19's on mine. 8.5J 235/35 Fronts and 9.5J 265/30 Rears.
No rubbing at all on Sport Suspension.
