275/295/30-19's fit fine

Not sure what the issue is with peeps thinking 295's on a 10" wheel gives too much "bulge" or the wheel is too narrow...BMW puts 295's on factory M5 10" wheels

Bonus: Sidewall overhang now protects wheels from curb gnomes

Thanks for this. I was going to go with 285s this spring but those pics look fine. I just hope Tire Rack carries 295 Michelin PS4S in that size.

Could you post a pic from the rear of the car about 10 ft away?

Those Kumho's are $217 per at Tire Rack compared to $325 for the PS4S, interesting.

^ very nice....

that extra width will certainly help get my extra 100 bhp and TQ to the ground.

No rubbing up front that you notice when the wheels are turned?

No rub so far...haven't jumped her yet. 30's are just a little shorter which may help.

Not 100% sure with your set up.

I think the shorter (30 series) sidewall is the secret to not hitting strut perch.

Been rainy here so not much analysis on PS91's yet but...they sure ride a lot better than the Contis that came stock on these wheels

Are you sure mate? I just put this in the tyre calculator.
I stand corrected. Sorry about that. Didn't notice the 30 aspect.

No worries mate, Im only just learning all about tyres etc. I have been researching for a while because I hate the stretched looked of the OEM tyres.
