new tires...

swapped out my OEM zcp tires for the usual 255/35, 275/35 "upgrade". Kept my 12.5 mm spacers on all around as well, figured I'd share a few pics since I had some time and it was a nice clear day out here in so cal...

(tire brand hankook v12's)

E90 M3 ZCP (stock ZCP suspension)

No Rubbing so far...even with steep driveways or speedbumps

Looking good, notice any difference in the steering feel or getting off the line due to the wider sizes?

Garage List
I'm asking OP and others about tire size and torque. The 275/35 is a 1/2' larger in diameter than stock. Doesn't that effectively gear up the car reducing torque theoretically?

The opposite is true of 275/30. Incrementally increases torque by slightly reducing gearing. Yes or no?
