AAHHHGGGHHH TYRE QUESTION !

Hi guys. I have a 2003 E55 and I'm upgrading to 19" Alloys I have confirmed the offset and stud pattern etc. But I need to know if 255/35/19 Tyres all round will fit? I would rather fit the best size but I have found this size in bridgestone VERY cheap. Also what is the best size?

The best size would be to stick with the staggered tires your car came with. 255`s on the rear? You will have no traction and your suspension is set up for the tire width it came with.. The 255 on the rear may not come in the right diameter to keep your speedometer accurate either.

I know people have 255`s on the front and they fit. They will fit ont the back too but doubt they will perform well for your car. 255 may be a little narrow for the rear 9.5 rim but you can check on any tire site , if you have to go that route.
