Tires and 359m's
So, there are so many opinions on here and I've read so much that my brain now hurts. I'm about to buy a ZCP car that is on the stock suspension (i.e. not lowered). It is going to need tires and my plan is to stick with Michelin's. From what I've read, I can go 265/30/19 and 295/30/19 without any rubbing. Here are my questions:
- Will these sizes fit without rubbing? - Will they come flush to the fenders or will I still need spacers? I have an 08 e93 now that I'm running 255/275 combo on with 12 15mm spacers. However, those are 220m wheels, not 359m's. Plus, it is not the ZCP suspension. Please don't bother telling me to read and give me a tutorial on searches, I've done plenty and all it has done is confuse me to be honest. Your thoughts and/or any pictures you have with this set-up would be greatly appreciated!

You'll be fine with the tire size - especially with non-ZCP suspension (fronts should be fine regardless, 295 may rub a smidge on ZCP suspension if you're going Dukes of Hazard).
If you want flush, the same spacer combo you are using will get the job done. If I'm not mistaken, 15mm front, and 12mm rear (I might have that backwards). I was running 265F/285R on 359 wheels with no problems at all. |

Roastbeef - that’s perfect! Thanks for the pics. Looks like I’ll be good. Given the pics, I’ll run spacers as well. I have 12 & 15mm already. Looks like they’ll work...thanks!

I got some used 15mm spacers when I first got the car and I got a little vibration from them and didn't like the way they made the car feel in general. No more spacers for me u less I absolutely have to.

I don't see the point of putting 275's on a 9" and 295's on a 10" wheel. 255 or maybe 265 is the widest I would want to run on a 9" and 275 or maybe 285 is the widest I would run on a 10". The wider tires will work but you aren't getting as much performance out of them with such a narrow wheel plus they don't look good IMO. I would do the classic 255/35 and 275/35/19 if it were me.
