could use some advice please

Im currently running eibach lowering springs and 14mm spacers on my oem wheels on my 2021 M2C. I like the way it looks but am wanting to get some after market wheels remove the spacers and go wider on the tyres. Any recommendations as to what size (widest) wheels and tyres front and rear I should go without having rubbing/scraping issues? I’ve been searching for a long time but am just out of my league when it comes to this. Any help would be much appreciated

Luke AUS. Yea nice. What suspension are you running? Do you have any rubbing/scraping issues? Any chance of getting some pics to see how they look?

These are my track wheels so chose ro run 18's rather than 19's as rubber was more available and cheaper in 18...these pics show nankang ar1's.

Very nice man. Yea I went with AR1’s as a daily on mine. I’m still debating whether to go with 18’s or 19’s as the new set up. This is my current set up running 245 front and 275 rear. 14mm spacers and eibach lowering springs. But like I said I want to go wider front and rear both tyre and wheel just not sure how wide I can go without issues

You reckon you could go 305’s at the rear with your set up? What coil overs you running? Sorry for all the questions mate just want to make sure I get all the info before pulling the trigger on a set of wheels

yup, i think you could.

i went with 295 as;
- nankang dont have a 305 AR1 in 18"
- stock has a 20mm width difference front to rear, im currently running a 30mm difference and with 265F and 305R you're at 40mm
- i cant comment if there are any negative impacts of 40mm, i dont notice any with 30mm but its something to consider
