What size MPS4S can I run in front without adding camber? is 265/30/19 possible, or should I stick with 255/30/19.

Also if I do add camber, will the BMW camber correction hubs that some folks are putting on their cars do the trick?

Thanks APEX!
Thanks for the question. With stock suspension you can run a 265/30-19 in the front in the Michelin PS4S without any clearance issues.

This car is running 265/30-19 R888s on completely stock suspension and didn't have any rubbing issues at all during testing. The R888s run wider than the Michelins so you shouldn't have any issues.

I can't wait for the forged ones anymore. I'm buying some wheels for my hockenheim silver m2c right now. What goes best on this color black or race silver?

Satin black is awesome. I had a winter set on my M2 and just ordered a forged summer set for my 987. Both black cars.

Black on black would look killer.

Wheel color is always a personal choice, but I think Satin Black looks killer on Hockenheim Silver. We don't have any photos of these colors on Hockenheim Silver, unfortunately.

Any 10 inch wheel 275/30 19 setup that can be run in the front on the stock suspension?

Thanks to Apex for sending me the Anthracite EC-7 staggered setup. I love the color and on my Sunset Orange these should look fantastic. After coating them, I will need to source some TPMS sensors and of course tires, which are a bit limiting as they will be used for tracks or canyon runs. I haven't decided if I buy suspension with camber plates or just camber plates to mount tires. I like the safety of dialing in some negative camber on 265s upfront. I need to MDM (must drive more) as it only has 400 miles.

Thoughts if I should just put them on stock setup or with camber dialed in?

Sorry for the delayed response. Something is up with our email notifications .

Our wheels are designed to be compatible with the stock hardware so you should be good with the stock lug bolts. If you are using any spacers you will need to use extended length hardware. It looks like you've figured that out already though. Loving the Satin Black on Hockenheim!

With 265/30-19 tires on our 19x9.5 ET28s, you should be fine to run this setup as a direct fit without any camber adjustments. Send us some shots once the wheels are on the car!

Just mounted my 10.5 et 45 and 9.5 et 22 EC-7s, planning to upgrade the tyres stock 245/265 on at the moment

I’m thinking 255/35 275/35 or possibly 285/35. I don’t want to run 30 profiles, I will be fitting camber plates, but have no clearance issues at the moment running Litchfield AST suspension.

Any issues with 285/35, only 7mm increase on radius

Actually, I went back and found the specs on their Flickr. I knew something didn't look the same as all the other cars.

It's the best fitment I've seen though, if I'm honest. Stock tires too.
