What are the tire sizes for BBS RE-V? For Front, I think it is 245/35R19. For Rear, should I use 265/35R19 or 275/30R19?

Front: RE-V 050 19x9 +22
245/35R19

Rear: RE-V 051 19X10J +25
265/35R19 or 275/30R19

your best bet is 255/35 in the front and 275/35 in the rear. that would be ideal and definitely would not rub.

265/35 in the rear would look a tad bit stretched. 275/30 is way too short. even 285/30 is a bit short. 295/30 would work, but do you want to run a tire that is that wide? if you did go for the 295, you'd probably want to run a 265/30 up front.

Agreed.

+1 I'm running Michelin PSS 255/35 front and 275/35 rear with a TMS 12.5mm spacer.

I used to run same 255/35, 275/35 set up before.
But M3 GTS comes with 255/35/19F, 285/30/19R on 19x9F, 19x10R wheels. So why not running 285/30/19 on the rear?

[Ryan@IND]

the 19 - 9.0/10.0 set up is a popular set up for the M3, with the new ZCP wheels, Advan RS, RZ-DF and the new RE-V all running the same widts.

we've been getting a split between the 255/35-19 front 285/30-19 rear and the 255/35-19 and 275/35-19 set up. the 275/35-19 is a little bit high and although many enjoy that set up, some shy away due to the increased height in the rear.

for the RE-V, I really like the 255/35-19 and 275/35-19 rear

I think cosmetically, you may like the 255/35/19 and 275/30/19 on the 10in wide wheel. Ive done the 275/35 on the 10 and it can look a tad chunky in some tire designs.

275/35 is perfect for the rear. I think 275/30 is too short- only 25.6 in. 255/275 keeps the same diameter difference front to back when changing from the OEM 245/265.

25.8>26 front and 26.3>26.6 rear. Roughly a 1% difference in both instances.

RE-V on 275/35 Michelin PSS. BBS black and silver center caps on the way. Got gold by mistake.

Please post more pictures of your M3. I am very interested. So you're running 255/35 and 275/35 right now.

BTW, mine is DBK with gold.
