Quick Tire Question

Lowlife_e90x · 04-16-2013, 09:40 AM

Have oem wheel sized 19x8 and 19x9
Current tires 235/35 & 255/30
x-drive
Looking at replacing the rears but want to know if I can go 265/30 without problems. Seems like 265/30 are cheaper and easier to find then 255/30 which seem to be more of a BMW size and more $$. No to RFT

Rubbing is not my concern, triggering x-drive issues is.

Any ideas?
Thanks

You'll be fine with that setup. The diameter difference is less than 1%. You should also have no rubbing as well.
