Widest Tire for 791M Wheel?
22M340i Xdrive, I dont have a staggered setup. They are 225/40R19 Run Flats all around.
What is the widest tire I can go with? I want to change to non-run flats when I install my lowering springs. Any recommendations on summer tire? |

Before the thread gets populated with "i don't have that but" posts:
I have the same wheels. Same RFTs on all 4 corners. Dealership told me they would not go over 245 on those rims. You will notice a big difference just going to a good summer traditional tire. I do not think the difference will be as dramatic between the 225 and 245 square setup.

I'm getting stuck on the differences after the width and height of the tire. For example: MICHELIN PILOT SPORT 4 S - 245/40ZR19 94Y TPC ZP BSW vs MICHELIN PILOT SPORT 4 S - 245/40ZR19/XL (98Y) XL BSW Would either of these work or is one recommended over the other? EDIT:
EDIT 2: So I should go with "MICHELIN PILOT SPORT 4 S - 245/40ZR19/[B]XL (98Y) XL BSW"? Not looking for run flats. Last edited by 00dyb58; 03-30-2022 at 06:38 AM.. |

Sorry for bumping old thread, but I'm going to pull the trigger on "MICHELIN PILOT SPORT 4 S - 245/40ZR19/[B]XL (98Y) XL BSW" for my 8.0 wheel.
Anyone know for sure if I will have an issue? |

the technical data for this tire states wheel range 8-9.5"
i have never personally mounted 245mm tires on 8" rims (8x 25.4 = 203mm) so i can't say how it feels but it's within spec certainly cheaper than buying 4 new wheels |

i can tell you that most likely you'll have both better grip and better comfort! PS when i wore out those 225s i mounted 245 on the 8.5, same tire brand (PS4) and i now have infinitely better grip and much better comfort ... Last edited by G30M; 04-11-2022 at 07:10 PM.. |

For the future google searchers, The 245/40ZR19 Pilot 4S tires fit well on the 791M Wheel

I think I had the worse possible combination
With H&R springs & 4x 245x4019 non run flats the drive is much, much better. I never rode in a G20 with Adaptive M Suspension, but I’m happy with it now. The car doesn’t roll as much either now taking a hard turn. I have 12.5mm spacers coming this week. I'll post some before and after. I'll go with 15mm if 12.5 isn't enough. Couple things I did not expect with the new setup. I'm sure these are the tires, and not the lower ride height.

Pretty sure 8.5 is only on the staggered setup from stock. I read if all are 225 you have a 8.0 wheel and 245 is the widest you can go. |

-245/40/19 hankook Ventus s1 evo3 -15mm spacers all around -Dinan springs Wish I went lower there's clearance, car handles and looks the way it should have from factory. |
