Hey guys I just picked up this morning a set of style 95, the wheel specs are 19x9 et 24 fronts 19x10 et 24 rears. They came with tires that was on the 7series 245/45/19 and 275/40/19. Can I use these tires for the time being with no problem or I need a new set of tires. I have a 2011 335 I xdrive e90 on stock suspension.

No you can't. Way too big tyres. I would recommend 225/35/19 and 255/30/19 with lowered suspension. It will look better, but also requires fender roll. You could possibly get away with 235/35/19 and 265/30/19 at least with the stock suspension.

Thanks for the info im buying a set of coilovers today so definitely will be buying new tires(225/35/19 and 255/30/19). If I go with 245/30/19 in the rear will I need a fender roll? Not sure when will I install the coilovers, thinking of just buying them and install them next year after the winter.

edit: just checking tires, the brand im looking at does not have 30, can I do 35?

You can't use 245/30/19, because you have xdrive. You need to keep the rolling diameter under 1% between front and rear. The rear is quite "aggressive" to Lci. The et24 is same as et16 would be at pre-lci. Here is Pre-lci with 19x10 et15 adn 265/30/19 tyre that runs narrrow http://www.e90post.com/forums/showpo...&postcount=434. So the fender roll will be necessarily.

245/35/19 wont work either.

It looks like by going 235/35/19 and 265/30/19 I can match the tires

I hope you know what you are getting yourself into, you will need some negative camber, a good roll, and some shaving of the meeting point of the fender and bumper. I needed all that to fit 19x10 et24 and 265 wide tires.

depends on the tires you choose. Mild stretch would be 225/35 and 255/30. 235/35 and 265/30 will fit but may rub in rear depending on drop. I ended up going with the 225/35 and 255/30 when I ran my style 95

I am currently on stock xdrive suspension, I just ordered sonic tuning S3 coilovers, but I will likely install them when the weather get warmer again

My buddies 335i e90 2011 is on the same exact set up plus he's lowered on coils with no rubbing and no fender mods.

Tire specs are the same as factory on stretched 225/35/19 front and 255/30/19 rear if that helps any!

Thanks bro I tried looking for good performance all season like michelin as3 or something but the 255 there was no selection unless I mix match the brand. The only one I can do was general gmax as3 235/35/19 and 265/30/19

Toyo Proxes 4S should be available in 255/30?

Conti DWS are also available in sets, but only 235/35 and 265/30, they don't make one of the sizes for the factory set

I have an acct with discount tire they did not have the tire you suggested. I was basing on my tire selection from this reviews http://tires.about.com/od/buyers_gui...s-For-2013.htm

I really wanted the Michelin AS3 from this review

No prob man, I know people have given suggestions but I know since I'm going for the same tire specs I'm going with the hankook v12 which offer those tire specs. GREAT on reviews, budget friendly and they last for their great quality of a tire
