245/35R19 front and 285/30R19 rear - what offset for wheels?

Bought a car that is running 245/35R19 front and 285/30R19 on the rear without rubbing. I don't care for the wheels so am shopping replacements. My challenge is I want to find the correct width and offset so they don't rub.

What 19" wheel width and offset would you recommend for this setup? I plan to pull the wheels I have this weekend to see if they're stamped with these details but wanted to ask the board as well.

I'm assuming:
19x8.5 in the front
19x9.5 or 19x10 in the rear

Any and all help appreciated. I've searched the forum and it looks like most run a 275 in the rear which I'd do but the car has brand new tires and I'd prefer not to replace them.

Hey Todd, we'd be glad to assist with your question. The Z4M can accept many different wheel setups in 19", but here's a trouble/rub free setup we recommend.

19x8.5 ET35

19x9.5 ET22-25

19x10 ET22-25


245/35 and 275/30 Tires.


We're having a huge Summer Sale right now. Have a look at our line of wheels, and feel free to contact us with any questions you may have.

Todd, the sizes UPWheels posted seem to be the most recommended. I went with 19x8.5 ET 35 235/35/19 on the front and 19x9.5 ET 22 275/30/19 on the rear. A 285 tire is really not recommended for a 9.5 width wheel, so you'll want to go with a 19x10 or even a 19x10.5 or 19x11 in the rear. I remember seeing someone running 19x10 ET 34 with a 285 tire in the rear. An ET of 25 would probably work with the 285 tire if you didn't lower the car, but if you lowered it, you would probably get some rubbing.

Thank you for the feedback.

I ordered a set of OEM style 359 M-spec wheels - 19x9 ET31 front and 19x10 ET25 rear.

I have always liked these wheels and can't wait to get them on the car.
