Widest Tire for 791M Wheel?

G30M · 04-25-2022, 12:17 AM

PS does the steering feel any different after your wider tires and spacers?

In Sport + it felt much heavier in lower speeds. Not in a good or bad way (to me), I'm now used to it though. I honestly don't drive much in comfort, but a quick test told me it felt similar.

Just ordered Pilot Sport 4S in 245/40/19 for my 791m wheels in 8" width. Sadly can't get them installed at my preferred location until 5/3/22. So I'll be glad to give my feelings after as well. I do have adapative suspension as well.

Just looking forward to a better "feeling" tire than the RFT Pirelli's.

245/40/19 hankook
Dinan springs
15mm spacers all around

That looks good! Any rubbing in the front? I ordered two 8.5" rear wheels and am going 225/255 staggered. Still not sure if it's worth the extra cost vs just doing 245 all the way around

No issues with clearing parking lot entry or exits but I do cut at a slight angle. Front has rubbed twice so far but only when the road has a dip and when it bottoms out, nothing to be concerned about.

That's good to hear! Some say at full lock in reverse the 245s rub in the front.

If I can do it over again I'd get springs that would drop it lower and have no wheel gap.

Your front and rear looks more equal than mine. I'm not sure if mine are supposed to look that lopsided.

I see that, the front is lower then rear, could be just how the H&R springs are. Mine are settled now and evened out before it wasn't as even.

Yeah I'm going to take some more pics after they settle more.

Your car looks great

Thanks, the spacers make a big difference.

Just fyi - 225/40 R19 = 245/35 R19 to keep the dimensions as close as possible.

technically as close as possible = 255 35 19

NIB_ · 05-10-2022, 08:28 AM

I'm having this same consideration, as the tyre I want isn't available in 225/40/R19/93Y for the fronts. Out of curiosity which of the following would be the best replacement for my front tyres?

G30M · 05-10-2022, 02:43 PM

245 35 19

Thinking of the same setup. How are you liking yours after a week?

Wtfitzvi · 05-12-2022, 12:03 PM

Kinda off topic.

I have a set of blizzak ws80 in storage from my old Lexus gs350. The size is 235/50/19

I'm curious is it'll be ok to run these tires on a 330i xdrive with 791m wheels. Current size on there now is 225/40/19

G30M · 05-12-2022, 01:59 PM

too big won't fit as won't clear the springs

Stevessf · 12-30-2022, 11:43 AM

so why didn't you go with 245/35zr19's? They are closer to the oem. I just ordered Michelin PS AS 4's all around on my 2021 M440i xDrive.

I’m assuming to fill in the wheel gaps, I’m going with 245/35/19 on my M340 xDrive.

mdiaddez · 12-02-2023, 07:12 AM

Looking to do the same tire upgrade as you for my 2020 330i xDrive that also came with the same 225/40/19 stock setup. I have 4, 245/40/19 tires (Continental EXTREMECONTACT DWS 06 PLUS XL) coming from Tire Rack.

Question for those above as I am unclear sorry, did you have any clearance issues in the front with the 245/40/19? I see later in post 00dyb58 installed 15mm spacers. Are the spacers required for clearance in either front or back...I want to remain stock

Thank you!
