help with tire size for zcp wheel

Hey guys, so i have a question regarding tire size for my zcp wheel. Currently i have the zcp wheel with ps2 tires 245x35x19 front and 265x35x19 rear. I also have 15 mm spacer in the front and 12 mm spacer in the rear. Currently i don't have any rubbing but i am thinking about getting PSS tire with 255x35x19 front and 275x35x19 rear. Anyone is running this set up? any rubbing?

I am also planning to get spring to lower my car a little bit. Which spring should i get to run with the new set up? what's the max i can lower without rubbing? Thanks

M3 GTS uses same ZCP wheels in black (19x9F, 19x10R).
And they're running 255/35/19F, 285/30/19R.

I would say do 255/35/19 275/35/19 but either remove the spacers, or get less aggressive spacers

255/275 will fit perfectly without spacers. My friend has this and the car handles beautifully (with PSS)

With the 255/275 PSS setup even with spacers on stock ZCP suspension you should be fine.

If you get springs that are lower than Eibach's such as H&R or RD Sports, then the 15/12 will be a little too aggressive.

If you want to be on the safe side, trade someone your 15mm for 10mm and run 12mm in the front and 10mm in the rear. Or even maybe a 12mm front and 5mm rear.

It also depends how much camber you'll run.

I'm currently running ZCP Wheels + H&R Springs + 245/275 AD08s with just a 12mm spacer up front + -2 camber all around and I have no rubbing.

i thought runnin 10mm spacer is not recommended by BMW because of the hub thing.

Anyway i am looking for wide rear look, so i might run 295x30x19 for the rear with PSS, should i do no spacer for this set up or maybe a 5mm for the rear?

I ran 10mm MS spacers without any issue. They are designed to work perfectly on our cars. I ran 10mm front and 5mm rear with the PSS and it was great.
