v710 on 07' z4 coupe 3.0si..

J-Thurm · 04-16-2009, 01:52 AM

I decided to go with the V710's for my 07' z4 coupe. I plan on lowering the car a bit and want to know what size tires I should get for the front and back. The front is 19x8.5 and the back is 19x9.5. Could someone please give me the heads up on what tires and what sizes I should go with?
Thanks in advance!

fronts 235/35-19 Tires
rear 255/30-19 Tires
Generals are what i have... i don't track the car, they handle very well and the price is right.

First, decide how much you want to lower by shopping springs/coilovers/whatever you want to lower with. Then check with Tire Rack (use the banner on this site) or just call them; their people are very knowledgeable about BMWs.

You may actually have to lower the car first, then check wheel clearance, but it sounds like you're pretty limited with 19" wheels. Are they aftermarket?

I have General UHPs as well and love them. I also do not track the car though, but I do drive spiritedly.

I have the V710's with General Exclaim 235/35/19 in front and 265/30/19 in the back. I have some slight rubbing going on in the front.

J-Thurm · 04-17-2009, 12:11 AM

do you have the car lowered at all? Do you think I should go with a different size in the front then?

nate96 · 04-17-2009, 09:23 AM

No the car is not lowered, but I do have the sport suspension. I would go with a different size on the front. The M's have a larger tire already so there is no issue with the 235/35/19, and the non sport suspension is slightly taller which accomodates the 235/35/19. It has already cause some damage to the inner fender.

I posted some pics yesterday. You can see the wheel gap with the non lowered setup.

I appreciate your quick response. What size do you think I should go with in the front? I'm ordering tires on Monday and want to make sure I make the right choice. I'm lovin the v710's on your coupe by the way!

I am not sure. Tirerack lists 235/35/19 for our cars with a 40mm offset. I do not remember the offset of mine, but they are running really flush with the fender. I know they list a 35mm and 20mm for the fronts of the V710's.

Anyone else with the sport suspension running 235/35/19?
