Possible to fit a 285/30/19" S03 on 9.5" width rim?
1 - 14 of 14 Posts
the recommended rim size for that tire is 10 to 11", therefore a 9.5 is too small.
it may 'fit', but I go by mfg spec.
Go to tirerack.com, find the tire, click on "spec", find the size, read across to the specs: they have a recommeded range as well as a specific width that was used for the other measurements (tire width, rotating diameter, etc)
This is critically important info what changing from stock. It can also vary a bit with the same size tire from diff mfgs....

M5_SMG.... pretty strange looking tire/wheel set up you have there (another post) definitely need bigger rubber!

Thanks Ard.
Yeah, tires are waaaaaaay to small. The fronts aren't too bad, but the rear wheels are bulging out a mile past the tires. I know with some other cars that if you change the rolling diameter you can have the ECU reset to the new rolling diameter to keep your speedo accurate. Any idea wether this is possible with the M5?
My front wheels are 20 x 9.5 and the rears are 20 x 11, so I'm thinking 265-275 upfront and 305-315 rear. I'm not too worried about keeping the correct rolling diameter (I know, I know ... naughty thing to say) as its hard enough finding any tires to suit these wheels. What do you guys reckon?
Omar, sorry didn't mean to hijack your thread ouich

Note for the rear, the rolling diameter is only off by 0.6 inches 25.6(stock) versus 26.2
for the fronts they make a 285/25-20... but no published specs on tirerack.
(A rhetorical question, but why would one buy rims and not have the tires and fitment all spec'd out...) Well, unless they were free or just about!

he's got 19's not 20's...so an 11" wide wheel would fit the 295 or 305. The real question is with the offset will that clear the fender without and changes.
The reason why I'm sorting out the tires after the fact, was that it was a set deal. Tires and wheels, take it or leave it. The price was good enough that I accepted it and am now sorting out the tires.
The only reason I'm considering 305 rears is cause I'm still a little wary that 295 will cover the wheels, theirs a fair bit of space to go. Thanks!
