can I go with bigger tires?

malan989 · 04-12-2011, 04:09 PM

I have a 2007 328i coupe that came with 19" wheels with 30's, question is can I get a little more rubber and roll with 40's?

You want to increase your rolling diameter? Why?

30's just seem like too little rubber, and there's plenty of room around the fender wells... almost makes it look funny.

Of course you know your speedo will be all wrong if you do.

You may also run into warranty issues as this can be considered odometer tampering. It can also cause issues with resale as the title may be branded with "actual mileage unknown."

This is actually one of the few things that may cause the entire warranty to be void.

This will increase your rolling diameter and alter your speedo and odometer. Rubbing issues may occur during compression or a full cabin of passengers as well.

I suggest sticking with the proper 35/30 side walls.
