I think I could potentially go 305/30/19 in the rear - and the front doesn't look that close either.

please share some pics when you have time.

I have about 2-3 months left on the tires, and monday i'm getting my tune done (~490sh-500 rwhp), so the plan is to try this setup just in time for track times in the fall once the weather gets cooler here in FL.

let's see how this baby does on PBIR and Homestead in the fall

my last 2 M3's did well on similar upsized tires (no tune), and cut my times significantly:

Might need to do 5mm spacers in the front to make it look flush and perfect - I think the rear looks perfect

Thanks man, that is exactly what I was looking for!

I believe my 763's are the exact same size and offset as the stockers so I am assuming it will work the same.

I'm glad I could help .

Yes yes, the 763's should look(stance wise) and work the same as the 788's. If you're in the Burlington/Hamilton area, I'll be happy to meet up if you want to see them in person.

Just bought the setup Michelin 4s for my rears.

The car comes off lease, lease/safety inspected performed. Need to replace the tires then the car will be mine.

tire rack calls to verify fitment, as its not a recommended fit. Not sure why as discounttire.com has this setup as optional fits with no further adjustments.

Thanks to the community to directing me and providing the info needed. 8/4 is the date tires arrive. Will installs Wednesday/Thursday. Will try to do a before and after.

I'm no wheel/tire expert but from this thread it appears that I can put on the 437Ms on my stock suspension M2C with Continental DWS 295/30/19 rear and 255/35/19 front tires (as an all-season/winter set)?

I shouldn't have any fitment or rubbing issues at all on a stock M2C? Thanks for the info

[VisualEcho]

On stock suspension I don't see why you can't do that.

Ok thanks, was just wondering if the 295s in the rear would be too wide. I know the M3/4 folks do it, but haven't seen many M2s with that set up

Depends on the 295 and how hard you roll the car I'm sure, but for a daily on PS4S' you should be fine.

The specific tire I was referencing is the Continental DWS 295/30/19 rear and 255/35/19 front tires (as an all-season/winter set for 4 months of the year - no ice/snow driving)

You should be fine then.

The issues start when guys try to lower the car, or run really wide comp tires like an 888R (or both).

Just double checking my understanding.

The rubbing owners speak of with after market wheels running F 275/30 with lowered cars is with the liner but on the inside of the tire on full lock. ie: past the air duct towards the centre line of the car.

Been trying to find some pictures of the rub location without success.

Damn wish i had went this way when I did 255/275 PS4s!! i have camber plates and same suspension

[TUNEDM3]

I would love to get a little more meat under the car for track work. Its very under tired. I have a set of 19x9.5 et25 and 19x10.5 et40. Car is lowered and am running about -2.8 front and -2.0 rear camber. Currently running 255/275. 18's are out of the question because of the brakes. Any idea if a 265/295 combo would work with those offsets and camber settings?

265/30/19 and 295/30/19 should work with your current setup, but you need maybe a 3mm spacer up front depending on your springs.
The rear will be close depending on how much you are lowered.

I will give it a shot. I am lowered about 1 inch on jrz rs2.

I'm going to be putting on my summer rims/tires and lowering with Eibach pro kit springs and was also thinking of 10mm spacers.

Front: 19x9.5" ET28 with 265/30-19
Rear: 19x10.5" ET45 with 295/30-19

Will I need longer studs with this combo? and should I get camber plates, too?

I'll be getting a full alignment after the install and for camber I've been reading -3 in the front and -1.9 in the rear.

Your wheel/tire specs are bang-on.

You won't be able to use your spacers though...

And if you want -3° in the front, then yes, you'll need plates, but they won't be necessary I don't believe. Unless you're buying an ultra wide 265.

You may have to fiddle with your camber to make this work, but I think you're right at the golden numbers.

Thanks for the info! More questions incoming

Why won't I be able to use the spacers? is there already enough offset in the rims to be the same offset as stock? I wanted the 10mm so the tires were flush with the fenders a bit more.

Can I still play with front camber without camber plates?

Bonus: Sidewall overhang now protects wheels from curb gnomes

Sold! Thanks for the pics.

That's correct, your wheel size and offset are specifically made to be flush without spacers, so adding the spacer would put them that much too far out. No spacers is absolutely the way to go.

I think the front and rear have some camber adjustment, but it's minimal. If you want real adjustment you're going to need the plates.

[CSBM5]

The only "factory" way to adjust front camber is to install the camber correction front carriers/hubs. BMW makes them with an additional -0.5 degrees of camber (and additional positive camber; they are #2 in this link with camber change shown in minutes, so -30min = -0.5 degrees).
