Hey all,

I need some opinions on whether this will work. I am looking at a new wheel setup, while keep my existing tires. (Based on the number below, I suspect I will need to get different profile size tires).

I have a 2013 E93 M3. I am currently using the stock 19" tire sizes - 245/35 (F) and 265/35 (R).

New wheels (Aodhan DS01):
Front: 19x9.5 +25
Rear: 19x10.5 +25

If I keep the same tires, according to the online calculators here are the clearance differences (from stock):
Front: Inner (-8.7mm) Outer (+16.7mm)
Rear: Inner (-14.7mm) Outer (+10.7mm)

What do you think?

Cheers.

I would do 255/275. I did 255/275 on 9"/10" and it's perfect. 245/265 are quite narrow for 9.5"/10.5"

If you have Michelin PS4S, 245/265 would be a little better because of how wide michelins are.

Check this article out, helped me a lot.

Scroll down to performance street and track fitments and your wheel specs are basically there (3mm offset off) with tyre size options which will work.

I wouldn't keep the same tyres, bit too much stretch imo and being 19s the side wall is hard enough as it is.

Thanks - very useful!
