Hi, I have a set of 172M wheels running 245/35/19 in front and 275/30/19 in the rear on my 04 525i. Can any one tell me whether or not 285/30/19 tires will fit in the rear without any issues of rubbing? Anyone running this setup?


Any info would be greatly appreciated.

-Jason

I don't think it will rub anywhere, but i presume from what others said running 285 on the back. Mind you that the speedo reading it will be affected a bit.

285/30/19's are very close to 'standard' 275/35/18's (0.6%) so I think that's within tolerance

In fact it will probably make the speedo slightly more accurate (70mph becomes 70.5mph)

And, 275/30/19's to 285/30/19's is only a 0.9% increase... (70mph to 70.6mph) - go for it!
