Re: e46 M3 Tire Sizing Thread
Hi All,
Looking to purchase a new set of tires. M3 is lowered on Eibach springs with stock shocks. Running BBS LMs front 8.5X19X32ET and back 9.5X19X35ET with 235/35 and 245/35 tires. Would like some guidance on tire sizing for a less harsh and more stock ride. Thanks All! |

Re: e46 M3 Tire Sizing Thread
I would at least go 245/40 up front and 255/40 out back if you want more meat and a better ride.

Re: e46 M3 Tire Sizing Thread
Thanks, I followed the thread and went with the suggested 235/35 and 265/30. Hope it works, I’m worried about rubbing in the back with the 35ET offset.
Still have time to change the order if anyone have a better suggestion. |

Re: e46 M3 Tire Sizing Thread
There's a lot of good information about 18's and 19's here but not a lot on smaller wheel sizes. I'm trying to put together a drag setup that I want to handle 700+ whp. Will a 17" wheel give enough sidewall to hook well? Right now the car has 275/35/18's in the rear and 245/40/18's on the front. Ideally I'd like to get some skinnies for up front and run a good drag radial on the rear. Any recommendations or advice?
Thanks, Dan |

Re: e46 M3 Tire Sizing Thread
For street use only, is it better to run 8.5 or 9X18 wheels up front instead of 9.5?
I think 265 up front is too much. Oem 225/45/18 on 8.5 or a 245/40/18 on a 9 would be better? |
