For a track setup with a supercharger, we would recommend the 18x10" ET25 with 265/35/18 or 285/30/18 in front and 18x11" ET25 295/30/18 in the rear for maximum traction for your added power from the ESS Supercharger kit. If you don't want to run as wide as an 18x11" wheel in the rear, the other option is to do the 18x9.5" ET22 with a 265/35/18 in front and 18x10.5" ET27 with a 285/35/18 in the rear.

The R888s tend to run a little wider than most other tires, but they are a very popular tire. R888s are great R-compounds, but we also like the Nitto NT01 that do not run more true to size.

The KW Clubsports have camber plates so that would be helpful for you to run the 285/30/18 tire on the 18x10" ET25 wheels. You may need a small 5mm spacer to push the tire away from the strut tube though so that the tire doesn't rub onto the strut, as long as your spring perch is higher than the wheel and tire.

Indeed!
I mounted 265/35 Falken Azenis RT-615K tires on my new 10" ET25 EC-7 wheels and I have at least a couple mm of clearance through the whole steering range! I should note that I only performed this test while the car was parked. Tomorrow, I will try driving a few feet between each step of the steering wheel. Thank you! I'm really happy to be on 265/35R18's in front. Ride quality is improved over stock (thanks to 7mm extra sidewall height) but still feels planted and provides good road feel. And with the risk of bending a wheel greatly reduced, I can now proceed with my suspension upgrades.

This photo gives you a better idea of how 18x9.5" ET22 and 18x10.5" ET27 looks on E9x M3's. A much better fitting wheel/tire setup. Another option is to use the 18x10" ET25 in the front with either a 275/35/18 tire and an 18x11" ET25 in the rear with a 295/30/18 tire. This is the fitment we suggest for E9x M3 owners looking for maximum width. Below is a picture of how that fitment would look.

285/30/18 is definitely also a great tire to be used in the square configuration or in the front of the car. It has great width and it's sidewalls are very short which makes it a great tire for maximum width fitment where clearances are tight. Some people do not prefer the look of the tire since it is very short but it performs really well and can improve acceleration slightly because of how short the sidewall is. The only other drawback is that the size is not as popular as the 275/35/18 in R-Compound and Extreme Performance tires.

I just put on the EC-7 18x10.5 with R888's 275/35/18 on all for corners. I have Motion Control suspension and Ground Control camber plates set at -3.5 up front and -2.5 in the rear. I have no rubbing, I will post some pics in the next day or so.
