I added 20mm spacers to the rear. Feels better

(just my imagination probably) looks great.

Re: WIDE BODY LOOK????????????

Greetings,

I am in the market searching for the right tires for my car. I do have the 19" wheels from a 745 - which I love and they are fitted with

- Front - 245/45/19
- Rear - 275/40/19

I was very intreged to lean that one can fit 255 and 295 at the back - is this true? Are there any rubbing issues? Can you give me some feedback on the pros and cons please.

Seems like you have this upgrade and your feedback would be a huge help to me.

Thanks,

CB

A combination of wider wheels and (m)

perhaps modifying your offset/using wheel spacers might work.

However, I would stay close to OEM offset, NOT use spacers, and put the most tire on you can (as other posters here have mentioned).

I too have 255s in front, and while not horrible, they do follow the road and are especially sensitive to ruts...-Reed

Buzzman is correct. I have to really watch my

steering with my 255/40-19 fronts. She wants to "tram" all over the place if there is rutting on the road surface. M.Mar

Re: WIDE BODY LOOK????????????

Here is my 740i with 255/45 18 all around. You can certainly go wider than this to get a more WIDE BODY LOOK...but the wider you go up front, the more uncomfortable it's going to be to drive. I find these 255's all ready make the steering "twitchy", even the smallest uneven surfaces or road irregularities means you need to stay on top of it!

*Correction: 740iL

Try debadging your car, it will give it the europe

If you de-badge your car it will give it the europen look and make it look wider. De-badging is taking off the 470iL plate off the back. Search on this site for examples.

Re: WIDE BODY LOOK????????????

I am running:
19 x 9 - 255/40-19 fronts
19 x 10 - 295/35-19 rears

And they fill the wells up pretty good. M.Mar
