TIRE SIZE
Wsup guys...Ive never had 19" wheels on my E55 before so im not sure what the best tires size would be for my car. Considering my car is lowered, and is very low, what would be the best tire size to use...245-35-19 front? ive heard of people using 275-30-19 rears but can a 285-30-19 be used? or a 285-35-19? what about a 295-30-19? Ive seen those sizes around but whats the max we can use without having issues...front and rear. Thanks Guys

FWIW...I am running a 245/35/19 on a 19x9 up in front and a 285/30/19 on a 19x10.5 in the rear...

You could use either 275/285...you should be fine with either or...Oh and I think a 285/35/19 will ***EDIT***NOT ***EDIT*** run in the rear...but don't quote me on that...

Knowing how low your car is, no chance at 285x30 let alone 295x30... go with:

245x35x19
275x30x19

I know yer SLAMMED but you should be fine... (Granted yer offset is right...)

I had my front dropped a lil more recently and even though it is really low, I don't rub at all...

As Sun said its all about the offset... I think I ran ET32 front and rear on my HRE 19x8.5's and 19x10's and slammed the car with no rubbing. (245 and 275)

if the wheels were built for a w211 285/30/19 is ideal.
