tire sizes

Can you put 265/35/19 on the front of the M3 and then 285/30/19 on the back?? Im confused. Do I have to stay with 35/35 f-b? What is the best size tire for a 8.5 front and 9.5 rear???

The max you can put on a m3 8.5/9.5 is 255/285.

255/35 + 285/35 would look real nice but if you're lowered just make sure the tire you use for the rear is more rounded so it won't rub.

I'm currently at 255/35 + 285/30 but sadly my front tire has a sidewall .1" larger than the rear. May not seem like much but when you look at it every day it's quite noticeable and annoying.

Another good combo would be 245/35 + 275/35 which will not cause rubbing.
