Specifically M2C Widest Front and Rear Tire

Hey guys, i've read a few threads about upgrading on tire sizes etc. wanted to specifically discuss m2c after i had an issue this morning.

Im currently running : Stock Height with 255 35 19 Square ContiWintercontact TS830P Winter tires.

This morning i put on 10mm front and rear futureclassic spacers, after going around the block i heard rubbing from the front, and what do you know... upon left turn (LHD Canadian car) , the passenger front tire rubs against the front bumper fender liner . . . . . (due to m2c vent design?)

With that in mind, im guessing its because its a 255 35 19 winter tire . . .
Im on the 788M Stock M2 Competition Rims

My question now for all of you especially those in Cali etc that don't need winter tires (darn Vancouver Canada!!).

Will 1.0 / 0.8 drop on KW Height adjustable springs or similiar work with
265 30 19 Front
285 30 19 Rear
With 10mm future classic spacers all around?


If you have done so post your setup!

Cheers and thanks for reading . .
inb4 TLDR

and yes i did . . . .

Which wheels are you running on the winter setup?

788s seem to cause more rubbing with spacers than 437 wheels for some odd reason.

It may or may not rub on the OG M2. It will definitely rub on the M2C.

Go 30 profile if you want 265 on the front

Why this much rubber on the street anyway...better to go with stickier tyres instead unless you just aiming for looks

have you not been reading the other threads? yes, 295/30r19 on the rears (and 265/30 in the fornts) with no spacers, fits perfectly fine:

Solid dude! Looks great. Are those EC-7s?

What wheel specs did you go with?


Last but not least, how is the ride with your H&R Springs compared to stock.

Thank you! Yes they're Apex Ec-7 in 19x9.5 et22 and 10.5 et45. The H&R's are great for their cost and super easy to install. Nice drop, decent ride quality, stiffens it up a bit for track use but not too much for daily driving. I'm happy with them. Last photo for so you can see the fitment🍻

what tires are you running? do you feel like the added grip diminishes the experience a little?

No over steer? Was considering 305 but ended up going 295 in fear of complicating cornering ability.

No, the car felt amazingly planted. Grip was incredible. This year I'm going with a smaller and lighter set up. 255/35 and 275/35 ps4s. More street oriented but definitely track capable

Thanx for feedback. Could still use a touch more traction so may go 305 next.
