255/35/19 on CSL's????

E46ACS · 13-05-2010, 11:21 AM

On my recently acquired set of CSL wheels, the rears are running 255/35/19 PS2's (almost new). Now this is the correct size for standard M3 19's, but obviously not the 265/30/19 for the CSL rims.

Anyone run 255/35's on their CSL rims? Any problems? Is this a big no no?

They fit OK, just a bit "Euro look"

Just don't wont to be adding any risk to the impending SPA day!

255/35/19 are specced byMichelin to fit 8.5 -10 inch rims so youll be fine

I bought my csL straight from the dealers brand new. The tyres where PS2 REAR 255 X 35 X19 FRONT 225 X 40 X19

Drove really well as, especially in the wet !

It's only Cups that are spec'd for the CSL in the 265/30 and 235/35 size, at least according to the handbook, other tyres should be per the standard M3 sizes , just as your car was supplied. But it seems like most people have ended up running with 256+235 even on PS2s or Contis etc.
