Help me out with tires....
I am currently running yokohama advan sports on my 19" wheels.
The fronts are fine, they are 245/35/19 on a 9.5" rim. the rear however is a 10" rim and the tires r 285/30/19. I have absolutely no rubbing with a 5mm spacer, however they r a bit tucked, not much at all, but if i am trying to achieve that sick offset, completely flush look, what size tire should i go with in the rear? Would 275/30 work? or should i go with 265? I was thinking about putting the stock rear tires on the wheels, but not sure thats a good idea. What do u guys suggest? |

I would do 265-35-19 same tires advan sport as they are a very square sidewall tire and look wider than most 265's Thats what I am doing.

If I can't find those attributes in a summer tire, will step down a notch to 'ultra high performance all-season', which is what the M3 should have stock IMO. Many thanks. |

the 265-35 is the same as the stock rear and I think th tire may stretch slightly so it should not look to tall. 275-30 is to small in my opinion.

M3s are also sold in cold climates . And it's a 4-passenger coupe not a GT3 . Summer tires should be a no-cost option, like on many other high-performance cars, but the great majority of owners don't track their M3s, making tires like the PS2s pure overkill brother.

+1, i think 275-30 will indeed look too small. I will say at least 285 for 30 series.

I am not sure how 285-30 will rub since the overal diameter is still smaller than the stock 265-35 setup. I have 295-30 on my eibach, and it does not rub at all.

My rear wheels are 19x10 with an offset of 25. I am running a 5mm spacer making it +20 and with my 285/30 I have absolutely NO RUBBING. However, when I put a 10mm spacer to make it +15, thats when i had some rubbing. With normal, "boring" fitment it sperfect, however, what i am looking for is that aggressive flush look. Wheel has to be flush with the fender which means tire needs a bit of a stretch. Im on H&R sport springs btw.

275/30/19 is the correct size for the look you are going for. 35 sidewall is too tall for a rear tire.

I have run 265/30 and 285/35 on 19x9.5 +22 and 19x10.5 +20 lowered on H&R with slight rubbing in the back due to the height of the tire. I also currently have 275/30 and 295/30 on the same wheels with no rubbing. Based on your wheels and desire to run a 10mm spacer in the back you should go with a 275/30. I would definitely ditch that 245/35 in the front and step up to a 255/35 or 265/30 which should both fit no problem.
