What size rim will you be running and what brand tire would you want to go with??
Usually 285/25/20 run perfect for 335 but when it comes to the M running a 11" 305/25 would be the best followed by 285/30 for 10.5" Hope this helps but you can run 285/25 |

20" tire sizes
Quote:
295/25s would be 2% smaller, a better choice, depending on rim width. Or, 285/30s would be about 2% larger, also better, IMO. These specs are all based on PS2s.

I would recommend running a 285/30. This is the recommended tire size for a 20" wheel (20x10.5) and provides a little extra rubber to separate the wheel from the potholes.
This is the setup we recommend to our customers. |

I am trying to run 20x10's in the rear.
I am asking about 285/25 R20's because according to this (http://www.1010tires.com/TireSizeCalculator.asp) diameter calculator it's the size of tire/rim the most closely matches the stock 18 setup (only a 2% difference). I'd like to make sure that DSC continues to work. |

Thanks Greg and everyone else.
Generally speaking, I have no problem running 295's as long as they'll fit. I'd prefer to keep from dialing in too much understeer. As such, suggestions on what I can fit up front would be helpful too. The wheel stats: F: 20x8.5 +34 R: 20x10 +22 |

295 is a lot of rubber for a 10" wide rim. Typically, a 275 is the best fit for a 10" wide wheel in terms of a Non-M E92. A 285 would be my recommendation for this specific situation.
