I dont think you can fit that much rubber on the rear. I would say 265-30-19 max imho.

IMO, 265x30-19 in the rear will be the max without massaging the fenders. For the front 235x35-19 should work, but I'd hope and pray 245x35-19 could be made to fit without rubbage. And Toronto better have great road maintenance.

Yes, worse, and IMO, yes. I'm staying at 18" but was trying to help the member with some information.

Waiting would likely give you more workable options alright. Exactly correct offsets will be key in maximizing wheel/tire size combos. It will be a trail and error process and it's always cheaper to let others make the errors.

damn j66...285s? I see that rubbing...badly...I think a 255/30/19 might work for the rear and that is a fairly common size.
on a side note...I have 235/30/20 on my a6 with eibach springs and it still has a really comfortable ride...

from the performance side 18 are better, 19's also required some pretty skimpy rubber that doesnt leave much cushion
my .02, find out the widest rubber that fits up front and put it all the way around, combat understeer. |

That would help with rotating the wheels/tires front-to-rear. A thicker RSB will probably go a long ways towards eliminating most of that understeer as well. Nate

Beyern 5 20x10 with Pirelli Pzero Nero 285/25ZR-20 rear; 20x8 1/2 with 245/30ZR-20 front from my 335I. I guess I need to sell them since I don't have much of a chance of putting them on my 1er?

If you change your wheel size don't change your tire size, you'll just mess with your torque and horsepower numbers. I think I am going to go with 18's on the front and 19's on the rear with g-force tires. Yaaaaaaaya :headbang:
