    Wheel size = What size tyres?

    Guys, my mate is looking at a set of wheels for his 335d.

    They are advertised as 8.5x19 front and 9.5x19 rear.
    What size tyres will fit these. Widths of course

    Originals or reps?

    If reps Chris from CMWheels is doing a clearout at the minute, so you might get something although exchange rate may be a factor.

    They are not an oem wheel don that's why I don't know what tyre to recommend him. OEM 19" for the E60 is 245 front and 275 rear.

    245/275 sounds about right but you'll have to do the maths to get matching sidewall height otherwise you'll get a raked 'dragster' look
    Edit:
    235/35 & 275/30 would work better. Both give same 8.2 cm sidewalls

    My CH's were 8.5F x 19 / 9.5R x 19 ET 35F / ET 40R. I fit 235/35 & 255/35 or 265/30's to them

    This is correct for 19s. I run that size on my 313s.

    E90 and E92 yeah.
    E60 stock size is different.

    I was worried about him buying them and then finding out he had to fit add size tyres etc.
    Thanks for the info so looks like he can get close to OEM in tyre widths.
