19" rims & higher profile tyres?

[mrx]

Hi all, there were some rub issues with 255/40/19 setup (http://e84.xbimmers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=820030)

but would there be any issues in front with:

225/45/19 (front) ?
255/40/19 (back)

Want higher sidewall instead of 225/40/19 & 255/35/19 and non run flat tyres.

That was me with 255. I am now using 245/40/19 on all 4 and have no issue.

The diameter different between 225/45/19 and 255/40 is only 0.06" smaller; however since the width is thinner (1.18") the chance of rubbing while turning should be less.

Even when I was using 255 the rubbing stop after less than 10k mile with little less trend on the tires.

Hope this help!
