Lightbulb AG M359 Owners Tire sizes / Spacers

Hey, i'm looking for input on everyone running these wheels. Pics are welcome!

1. What tire size are you running? 245//265, 245//275/35, 255/35//275/35 ?
Will you rub with 255 in the front(no spacers needed since ET 18).

2. What spacers in the rear do you guys recommend?

3. Also looking to do Swift-Spec-R Spring, wondering how this will effect things...

Im thinking about trying out the Bridgestone Potenza S-04 Pole Position tires instead of PSS.


Thanks!

I ran a 275/30 when I ran these wheels on my e92. 19x10 up front. What are the specs you have right now?

I had these wheels awhile back. No rub with stock tire sizes. The guy I sold them to had minor rubbing at full lock with 255/35 up front. I'd look at a 12mm spacer for the et25 to match up with the et18 up front. Stick with stock tire sizes and you'd be fine, possible rub in the front and back lowered/spacer'd and upsized.

I'm looking into tires now and weighing opinions on what size to go with. 265 in the rear might be a bit stretched for my liking but with spacers I don't know if I'll rub.

If you really want fatter tires, try them with spacer's. If they rub, take 'em off. You'll probably be fine with stock tire sizes and a 12mm spacer in the back. Good luck, it's a little trial and error. Varied results due to variables (alignment, tire brand, drop).

I just ordered Michelin pss' in 255/275 setup to pair with ag m359's. I'll report back on if it rubs once I can actually source the rims since they are back ordered.

I'm running AG359 lowered on swift springs and PSS:

255/35/19 19x9 et18 with 5mm spacer
275/35/19 19x10 et 25 with 10mm spacer

Front rubs the front fenderliner a little at full lock. Nothing major and very doable.
Rear rubs the liner that sicks out where the bumper meets the rear 1/4 panel on big dips. The liner will rub away and I don't rub anymore. Again, nothing major and very doable.

Solid information ! Might do that size or stock size. Really want to run 12.5 mm spacers in the rear.

Hi I finally have the AG M359s wheels and need to get tires to mount them.

Would like to run:
255/35/19 for fronts and no spacers.
275/35/19 for rears.
I am lowered on Eibach springs

It seem like this is the safe size to prevent any rubbing.
For the rear, I notice spacers being used and getting rubbing issues. I would like to understand why use of spacers, is it because the AGs with 25 offset not flush to the fender?
Can someone with AGs with 275/35 post up a photo on how the rear wheels sit against the fender?

I would prefer no spacers at all but would like to see the look.

Thanks

Edit: Nevermind, found a pic on the forum wtih 275/35/19 on the rear..

Got the above mentioned tyre sizes, PS91s, mounted on the car over the weekend.
The car is lowered on Eibach springs.

The fronts have slight rub when steering wheel is at full lock.
No spacers front and back.
No rub when normal driving or when going for the dips, etc...

Will check it out later to see where it is rubbing..
