Tire Fitment Size M35X
Hello I have an 08 M35 X, but I bought mine with the 19inch sport rims from the S model, I am running 245/45/19 but wanted to upgrade... what's the maximum width I can fit on the 19inch rim(from Sport Model) while maintaining the 45..I don't wanna go 40 or 35,,less meat on the tire makes the ride even more harsh.. is it possible to go 255/45 or 265/45..any input is greatly appreciated, please keep it simple I don't wanna get confused with too many calculations 
, Thanks
, Thanks-
Ilya

You really should use one of the 100 calculators available or look up old threads on this subject on NICOClub.

Re: Tire Fitment Size M35X
https://tiresize.com/calculator/ does the math for you, you just have to know what you are okay with (speedometer being off), etc. It's a matter of preference really. If you aren't lowered, you can probably run 255 just fine.
Re: Tire Fitment Size M35X
255 sounds cool , some tire shops will fit one rim to see if clears the fronts , like they could put 265 on to "TRY ". Costco did that for me on Mich'ies on my Juke .
Re: Tire Fitment Size M35X
Thanks for your input.. tiresize.com really simplified it alot. Amma go with 255/45/19 as they have more options and they are within my price range... 265/45/19 the options are kinda limited in regards to the brand I wanted and also price wise they are on the high side.

Re: Tire Fitment Size M35X
Thank you, I decided to go with 255/45/19 Bridgestone Potenza /Goodyear Eagle RS-A.. they are within my price range.. 265/45/woukd have been great but they are high price wise
Re: Tire Fitment Size M35X
do you have pictures of the 255 45 19? I'll love to have a view of this specifications
Re: Tire Fitment Size M35X
I believe the Michie's are Pilot Sport 4 (All season ) at 255 45 19 , but they are gonna unbelievably , look just like the Tire Rack pictures , I've never posted pictures here - I'm technically challenged like that - really .
They do have that slight sidewall protrusion well outside of rim's " plane " . I CAN tell you , I think it's called 'squeezed' and I don't know what the skinny tire on big rim like Low riders do is called .........man just tried to lookup that terminology , no dice well no time for that now .

Re: Tire Fitment Size M35X
Unfortunately I don't have the car anymore, but it's not that big of a difference in terms of width, but sidewalk wise it has a little bit of of more meat, 45 side wall tire size was the perfect balance for me, it kinda irons out some of the harshness you get with skinnier tires and fills the rim well a little bit more, granted I could have lowered my AWD to the same hight as the sport model but I never got the chance.. Am currently in the market for an M45, I got my eye on one hopefully by the end of the month early March I will have it, on that M45 the owner has the 20 inch rims from the M56 sport model
