Hi folks, just about to order some lm reps for the 335d and was wanting to know what tyres size I could fit. I know that 235 and 265 will, however will 245/275 will for the front and rear respectively? I'm also getting it lowered on eibachs.

Thanks in advance

Tiko

Yes they will fit. You may have an issue
with some rubbing at the rear with squatting
and also with pax in back with 19"!

Thanks C...what if I was to get the arches rolled?

dxb335d · 10-31-2010, 05:26 PM

Yeah would help. Why those instead
of 235 and 265?!

On standard rims and offset yeah?!

Well I just feel there is too much overhang on the arches and wanted them filled out as best as possible. I asked the chap I'm getting the wheels from and he suggested 5mm spacers all round. That would work with 235's and 65's I suppose.

The rims are 8.5/9.5 and offsets are 38 (front) and 27 (rear) I think.

The arches are oem rolled are they not?
I dont think you can gain much on a coupe without pulling them too.

How about more static camber?

I'm honestly not sure what the situation is with them rolled already...I just assumed with a difference of 20mm that the arches would need altering.

Think I'll just stick to 235/265's and put 5mm spacers all round...

Cheers
