Best way to get a little bit more ground clearance?
Am having a helluva time trying to understand the tire values. This link does me no good. https://www.wheel-size.com/size/bmw/z4/2020/
Wife is disabled, struggles to get in and out so I'm looking for a way to get the ground clearance up another inch or so. BUILD YOUR OWN offers a choice of either a 18" standard or 19" but no info as to the real tire stuff like your typical 265/70R/17 spec. What in real world terms would I get by going with a 19" tire? I understand the change in the handling dynamics, just need to tweek this. Any one got a clue? |

Tire Rack located the tires & checked their diameter to see if they will raise your car.
No because the 19" are 35's & the 18" are 40's so they work out to about the same diameter. A 19" in a 40 might raise the car a bit, but there could be a fit issue. Not sure of a good solution outside of suspension mods. My COBRA has coilovers on all 4 wheels & is totally high adjustable over a few inches. The threads on the shock allow the spring seat to be moved up & down which adjusts the ride height.
