e46 M3 Tire Sizing Thread

rtong · Sat, Jul-07-2018, 03:24:10 AM

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!

I would at least go 245/40 up front and 255/40 out back if you want more meat and a better ride.

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.
