Both of you guys, thanks for tje response. I’m almost embarrassed that I didn’t consider the relatively significant gearing impact. I didn’t think it would be as significant, so great intel
Since this isn’t my dd and doesn’t see much highway tome, do you guys think there is an issue running these sizes? Will the gearing make the car annoying to drive on the street / track? 4.10 fears were an upgrade on the e46 m3 iirc.
Would a 255/275 35 setup be better? Still short, but not as short. Would need to run Dunlop z3 tires in that case.
Car is used Mostly street driving for fun and a handful of track days per year for fun.
Not too worried about ground clearance as the car is in stock zcp suspension.
