Had a blow out yesterday in my 5series
My mate has a pair of tyres for a very good price but they are a slighty different size to what i have,
Current are 275/30/19
New 265/35/19
Will these look differnt on the car cos the side wall profile is 35 and not 30, but the width of tyre is slightly less so would it give a slighty stretched look?

If it gives a touch of stretch you probably won't notice the extra sidewall height

You Probly won't even be able to tell the difference pal as you are taking 10mm away from width but adding 5mm to the hight, it wouldn't make a difference. I will say though if the car is near new and it goes in for a servic etc they will pull you up about this and may bullshit you buy saying its avoiding your warrenty

The 35 is a ratio not a measurement


I would rather lose by a mile because i built my own car, than win by an inch because someone else built it for me.

New (total) sidewall height - 92.75mm Old - 81mm. Less than a center-meter higher and half a center-meter narrower. Will be fine
