Cool Help me with my tires

I recently bought wheels for a steal for my 2008 535i. The wheels are 19x9.5 +25 all around and havent found much info on them. I need help with what tires I should choose. ( i want to be low and stance-like but have some rim protection if possiblel lol.)


HELP note: these 2 pictures are the look im trying to go for

Really need more information. Is your car lowered? You need to know what your wheel specs are such as offset and width. The higher the sidewall, the more protection for your rims. This is the middle number in tire sizes. Do a forum search with specific keywords to learn more about what these terms mean. If you have more specific questions, we're here to help.

Yes, my car is lowered on ebay coils. I know about all of the things youve stated. Just want some info on people who have 19x 9-10 setup as well to give me info on what tires they chose and how it looks

You can only fit what your wheel accepts. A tire website can list what fits. Use the middle number like Jay suggests. If I were to guess, that car in the photo appears to be aspect ratio 30-35. Whenever I am out and about, and I see a parked car with a tire fitment that interests me, I'll just walk up to it and note the middle number.
