What tires can i put on these rims :)

Wheels:
19x9 et25 Fronts
19x10 et25 Rears

Hey guys, just picked up a E93 M3 and was planning on putting these specs on the vert. Whats the "meaty-iess" tires I can put on front and rear with out any rubbing also no camber adjustment. I am doing stock suspension w/ EDC. I know the offsets are not aggressive so to make them look flush with the fenders spacers shouldn't a problem to buy (please recommend i know alot of people are running +7 or +10 offsets). Thanks for taking the time to comment, if there will be any :P.

For those specs I would run a Michelin PSS tire ( One of the best tires and is meaty looking) in the following sizes:

255/35/19

285/30/19

Feel free to PM me with any questions you may have.

You are right, I still can't believe Mich. doesn't make the PSS tire in that size. After all its the OEM sizing for some of the Merc. AMG cars. There are other tires out there that are as good as PSS. I had the Continental Contisportcontact 5Ps and I thought they were just as good as the PSS.

I also have 15mm and 20mm spacers handy from my previous 335. Those specs are for no spacers and beefy look. Tired of these roads in San Antonio . Again thanks guys for the input.

Don't use spacers.

Under 10 mm maybe for clearance issues, but 15 and 20 mm is too much.

Reason Michelin doesn't produce it is that the uptake rates would be too low. Very few people in the market for that size and no OEM sized car use it.

If you're going 285/30 you can just as easily go 295/30 but that's extreme plus sizing. A 275/35 would look and fit better and still be within a reason toleance of OEM spec

A 285 tire is perfect for a 10" wide wheel, also the 285/30/19 is used on the OEM M3GTS.
