stupid BMW boards
I'm just trying to find solid information on what size wheels and offsets works with what width tires.
We found a deal on tirerack for 19x8 OZ Superleggera for his M3. Friggin 259 each for 19" OZ :shock: Tirerack says run a 235/35/19. I thought we could fit at least 245 on a 8" rim maybe I'm wrong. Scott, does Matt go to any good BMW forums.

Tire Rack's size reccomendations are based on gettign the closest match to stock diameter so the speedo is accurate. What's stock size on his car?

going to 19s kind of limits your choices. 245/30R19s would fit best, but TireRack only carries one tire in that size. There's some really good choices in 235/35 though.

19s are going to significantly affect the ride quality and handling on the M3, and as Kevin points out severly limit your tire choices, as well as the tires being much more expensive than 17s, or even 18s.
What are you trying to accomplish by getting 19s?
