359M Square Setup w/ 275/30/19
I know this has been discussed from time to time and I have searched this topic on the forum but most of the conversations on the topic are years old.
So before I purchase 275/30/19 (Pilot Sport 4s) - I wanted to confirm they will fit on a square setup of 359 (10x19 ET25) without rubbing. I've seen some mentioned this setup will work fine on a e90 but just wanted a little confirmation before I pull the trigger. I had Discount Tire refusing to order/mount these tires for me without a "test fit" which logistically would just be a PITA to deal with.... so prob taking business elsewhere. TIA for any assistance. |

There are a substantial amount of posts on this topic . My favorite one to date though is here - https://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1423450. Enjoy the square set up!

I am running 275/30R19 front PSS and 275/35R19 rear PSS on squared 19x10 359M wheels and stock suspension no problem. Took it to the track as well already and all is good.
Not an exact match due to my larger rear tire with what you are looking for but yes you should be fine.

Works great on ZCP with ET 25 front and ET 13 rear (spacers). ET 19 on the front would be fine.

Since Im not lowered - part of my wonders if the gap would be too large with the 30 sidewall. |

I also just ordered H&R Springs so I'm curious to see how it'll look then.

I made the jump to this setup on my lowered car last year, other than the slightly thinner sidewall which I dont quite like, functionally everything works great, particularly at the front. Nothing u should worry about.
Attaching a pic below for your reference hoping the resolution size works out

Not super thrilled with lower side wall either, but 275/35 won't work up front from what I've read ... so I guess I would need to go with a more narrow tire all around to stay with the 35 side wall... |

Same PS4S size you quoted. I think the front wheel just barely clears the front springs or the perch at the widest point. no real drivability issues as far as I can tell. Actually tried running 265/35/19 all around first by fitting the rear to the front, but with my lowered ride height I was unable to make full turn, there was major blockage/rubbing, so I settled on going 275/30 square.

Not sure how a few years in passing on this topic would change their application - have the laws of physics changed recently?

At first you'll think it looks funny especially if you do a ride height with a slightly higher front, like gts spec. I also run a 12mm rear spacer with my square set up. But you'll adjust and enjoy it.

Time doesn't change that, asking again doesn't change that. Discount tire goes by the book because of liability, so they aren't going to endorse anything that doesn't show in their system. Sometimes you just need some common sense. But that seems rare these days. |

I debated just doing 265/35 square setup but when I tried it earlier with my 220s I was getting a slight rub up front. I guess I might have have committed myself to a 30 sidewall (already bought the 359s) and will just have to put on some lowering springs if I don't like the gap. To those who don't like this thread - you can always ignore it. That takes far less energy than trying to call out someone out who doesn't care what you think in the slightest. |

So currently not lowered I assume.... hard to tell because it's a black car but the front looks pretty good as is... guess I will get the tires ordered and go from there - thanks to all the constructive replies. |

They were never going to see my car, just want them to mount the tires. Thanks again. |
