Anyone found another tire that fits??

This is for both recent posts. I googled widest wheel on 5.5j and it came back with 195. I haven’t tried googling 5.0. The i3s uses 5.5j on the front. You should check first.

Mild wintery conditions are here again in the UK, and I want 4 season tyres on my 2019 i3 BEV with default rims (front 5Jx19, rear 5.5Jx19). I can't find any for the rear wheels. Default size would be 175/60R19, but none produce in this size an 4 season tyre. My option would be to put:
- 155/70R19 tyre on the rear 5.5J rim
- 195/55R19 tyre on the rear 5.5J rim
or to purchase 5J alloys to the rear axle too and having a square setup (155/70R19 on all). But this option is a lot of £££.

Would you put 195 tyres on a 5.5J rim? Theoretically it fits.

I had no ego issue with the 155 tyre at rear but the rim edges are at risk when parking then.
