I was wondering if you could fit a 285/35 tire in the rear with a 19x10.5 +34 wheel and a 265/35 tire in the front with a 19x9.5 +22 wheel? im currently running 255/35 275/35 in the rear and its way too stretched and its affecting the ride quality

Also: I'm on Ohlins r&t coils, lowered a 1/2 inch in the front, stock height in the rear.

You might need a little extra camber in the front to clear the fender, but it should fit. Altho, the front 265 will rub the fender liner lock to lock and under compression, until it self clears over time.

I’ll have to go see if my 285/35 rear setup has a good half inch clearance to the fender or not before I can comment on your rear setup.

EDIT: A quick check on mine tells me it’ll be tight in the rear, but you should be OK with a few mm of clearance to the fender to spare.

im thinking of running a 5mm spacer in the front, raising it or running a 265/30 tire in the front! thanks so much for the input tho!

It’ll be too close to the fender if you run that setup with a 5mm spacer and a 265/35.

265/30 is probably short enough to get away with it, but the tire will stick out a decent bit more than current and more rocks and road grime will get kicked up on the side of your car.

Just an FYI.

I'm running those exact wheel specs 19x9.5 et22 19x10.5 et34 w/ 265/30 & 295/30 MP4S tires. I'm lowered on KW v3 coilovers and it rubs a little in rear even with -2.2 camber. Fronts are fine with -2.5 camber. If you're trying to run 265/35 you might have some rubbing like Zm2 said. 285/35 in rear should be fine as it's about the same overall diameter as 295/30.

I like the way you put that.

In other words, wears a hole in the liner

285/35/19 is almost an inch taller than 295/30/19

MP4S 285/35/19 - 26.9"

MP4S 295/30/19 - 26.0"

I should've worded that better, I accidentally looked at the diameter from a Yokohama a052 18" which is much lower tread depth and of course 18 not 19"...Sorry OP. Though the diameter may not be close, 285 will be skinnier so with stock ride height it should still be fine. I'm lowered quite a bit and am fine on 295/30 with same wheel specs.

Hahah. Actually, on the M2, it wears a couple liner spots without going all the way thru. The M2C is a different story—less clearance in the liner.
