Why? I reckon 19" on e36s are just wrong. Not to mention astronomical tyre (tire) price.

Having said that, it can be done. I've seen e36 on streets with 20".

Anyway, to answer your question, you might need to roll the lips of the guards and install a steering limiter.

Tire size, you are probably looking at something like 245/30/19

 

thanks.. does anyone else have experiance with 19's

 

anyone else have any input on this???.. i need to know asap.. thanks

 

back in the US when i was working at this auto body shop. the boss own a 97 e36 m3 he put bbs set of 19's then later upgrade to 20's.. i asked him any fitment issue and he had to add in some type of spacers and roll the fender but not sure much else.. since he dont like to reveal what he had done to the car...

 

Actually had a set of mille miglia ravia II 19x8 that fit great all i did was roll the rear fenders ($35) and was set. no rubbing or problems,
