Too aggressive? What do you guys think?

[rsmamg]

I think the front are too aggressive by 5-7 mm but the rears are fine.

According to stock M3 set up, you would be sticking out 20mm out more in front and 11 in the rear.

On my stock wheels, I am running 12mm spacers in front and rear. The front could go IMO up to 3-4 mm more but the rear looks fine to me.

I used this to compute those numbers:

Our M3 has 19x9.5 +22 and 19x10 +25 with ADVAN AD08s 265/30 and 295/30 with no problems.

Cool link! I'm currently running 12mm spacers front and back as well and I think that it looks perfect..
Yea, I feel the same about the fronts, a little too aggressive, but too late now... I tried having them change the order to 9.0 in the front but it was too late. I think I'll still be happy none the less. Thanks for your input.

That looks really nice. Why 265 for front and why 295 for rear? Why not 275 for front and 305 for rear?

So I found out that Volk actually doesn't offer the G2 19x9.0 in a BMW fitment. That being said, I guess I'll just have to stick to the 19x9.5 fronts!! Anyone got any input on tire sizing? I was thinking:
F:275-30-19 F:265-30-19
R:305-30-19 OR R:305-30-19

What do you guys think?

I run Volk g2 19x9.5 +22 F and 19x10.5 +25 R

plus I have 10mm spacers on the back

I may also do 5 or 10mm in front

H&R springs

if you are using Neova AD08, i'd recommend the 265/30-19 and 295/30-19, especially if you have a drop. We learnt from experience that not all tire specs are the same.

Neova/Yoko in general tend to have a higher ratio of thread width:sectional width.

other tires, you can run 265/30-19 and 305/30-19 possibly, depending on brand.

I was thinking of going with the RE-11's. I'm dropped on Eibachs, so I don't think rubbing will be an issue. I'm more concerned with the increased understeer and keeping circumference of tire+wheel same as stock.
