Did anyone go to a 305 rear wheel?

CSanto · 03-20-2009, 08:57 AM

I'm minutes away from ordering a set of wheels (19" P40s)

I'm wondering if I should stay with the 295 rear, or go to the 305...

Any thoughts?

chinster · 03-20-2009, 11:37 AM

I was thinking 295 myself but not to sure if the will rub. will the 295 in the rear rub? What is the offset are you using? Any spacers?

Thinking about 305/30R19 in the back as well but might end up running 285/35R19 instead.

Ive seen a few people do a 305

I've seen many people with a 295 and 305.

We did a set of HRE P40 19x10.5 et28 in the rear with Nitto Invo 305/30-19 which replaced Invo 285/30-19. It should be et33 as it rubs a little but the car is also very low. The cars we have done with the same series of wheels with the same offset but with Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 295/30-19 have no rubbing or fitment issues.

315 works if you have the proper custom wheel.

There is no point in running such a wide tire on this car in the rear unless you are doing it for bragging rights of running such a wide tire. The disparity between the front and rear tire size will cause the car to understeer much more and throw off the relatively neutral handling. Second, a 305 tire weighs a good 3-4 lbs more per tire than a 275 or 285, causing you to have an increase in rotational mass that will slow down the acceleration of the car. And finally, a 305 is typically a lot more expensive as well. Choose wisely...its not like the M3 has a lot of low end torque and need that wide a tire...
