OK Wheels are ordered, now for tyres!
Ok, 360 Forged Mesh 8 ordered.
Matte centres, reverse with black gloss lip. 9"x 20" Fronts 10.5"x 20" Rears Deal done and dusted. Now for tyres, so far with limited supply in Australia I have come up with the following:- Fronts 255/30/20 Pirelli PZero Nero Rears 295/25/20 Pirelli PZero Nero I don't want to go any wider on the fronts because of handling & tracking. I believe Mich's, Continental, Khumo (I think there called that) have tyres available but I am lead to believe the tyre max weight rating is lower than the oem tyres that are on the M3 now and that you can go up but not down?

i have advan rs wheels 19x9.0" in the front and 19x10" in the rear.
tires that i have 245/35 and 275/30.... did this way because i might drop the car and i dont want to have any rubbing issues. i am using Pzero Neros too... apparently some say PS2s are better but i am using the car more for the street and i got Pzero Neros at a lower price so i am willing to give up some performance.

Goodyear do their Eagle F1s in 20"
sizes are 245/30x20, 255/30x20, 295/30x20 and 285/25x20. I personally rate their rubber. Falken and Toyo also make tyres in the above sizes and they are also getting very good reviews. |

I've ran T1R's on my 19 inch volks. I have no problems with them. They don't wear too fast, but I don't feel they have the outright grip of the PS2's. They were quiet, soaked up bumps well, and seemed to communicate the limits of grip well. All in all, they were a good tire for the price. I would buy them again. Hope this helps. |

Hi, Thanks for the tyre info, the trouble I am having with some of these tyres is there Max Weight Loading is less than the allowed standard shown on the tyre sticker on the door sill of the M3.
I am allowed to go up in spec for the max weight loading but not down, also we are only allowed to go up 15% in wheel size and 10% in tyre diameter from the door sticker. 19" to 20" and a tyre of 295x25x20", the problem is max weight loading of some of these tyres is less the oem 19" thats fitted.
