Spacers with 255/275
Anyone running them with 255/275 tire sizes? I don't think I want to lower it but I definitely want more poke without rubbing... If you have 18s as well, then please post what spacer setup you're using!

Just put on 255/275 MPS4S on stock wheels today. I'm lowered on MPS.
I brought a set of 5mm spacers (all 4 corners) as I figured my previous spacers (12mm/10mm) would cause the tires to poke out way too far. I should have taken a picture but the new tires were poking out quite a bit. So far 5mm has been good - drove to work after putting the tires on and no rubbing yet, but I'll have to drive over some hard bumps to make sure. If you're at stock height I'm pretty sure you'll have no trouble at all. |

Please do take some pictures. I'm especially interested to know how 275/35 looks from side view. I always think 265/35 is already too tall on stock height. 5mm poke and lowering could make a difference.

Star spec PSS is narrower than generic one.

As Sean stated star spec tires are made specifically for BMW with different face widths for turn in, carcas construction for suspension feel, etc etc. Note that are quite different believe me. But all this is based on completely stock suspension, the moment you make a change, sprains, coilovers etc you cam=n flush all that down the toilet and go with stock spec tires cuz you wasting your money

Ran 255/275 on 513m (18") and 437m (19") with stock height, no problems at all.
Oh nvm! Didn't realize you were asking about spacers. Ran without them and no issues. |
