None

At stock height at least. We'll see what happens when it's lowered

oh and that spot i posted the picture of where the inside of the rear wheel was so close, that same spot had WAY more clearance on the passenger side. very strange

That sounds a bit funny.... Looks like something isn't right as I thought clearance should be the same both sides....?

Currently running 265/30 and 295/30, stock suspension.

I'm about to swap out the rears and I was considering doing 305/30 (I think 35 will be too tall). Thoughts?

Also thinking about a 265/35 or a 275/35 up front. There's a TON of gap up there with 265/30, and at a 30 profile, the driving experience is less than desirable.

Looking to pick up a set of Forgestar F14s Super Deep Concave all around

Front - 19x9.5 ET 13 (sales guy at the dealer said this is what forgestar recommends)
Rear - 19x11 ET 26

On Michelin Super Sports
265/30/19 Front
295/30/19 Rear

I'm thinking the fronts will give me issues (or will stick out too much)

I'll be getting a KW sleeve kit in the future.

What ET on the front should I go?

Thanks

Really? He recommended 13!? I'm running ET22 upfront on my 9.5" 265/30/19s and lowered on Eibachs with zero rubbing. 13 seems wrong to me..

Yah i know right? 13 is way too aggressive for 265 tires.

How flush are you with the ET22?

I was also recommend by a forum member to do 245 tire instead.
I'd prefer thicker tire but i guess going 245 i could save a couple $ lol

I think the tire size should match the wheel so if you're 9.5" then I'd definitely stay away from a 245. With a 265 PSS 9.5" ET22 I'm pretty much perfectly flush... will post s couple of pics... Apologies in advance for the state of the wheels...

They would... Wouldn't they!

Rear (ET25) then front (Et22) ... Hopefully that's helpful...

It is thanks!

Unfortunately Forgestar is saying that I cant do the Super Deep Concave with a higher offset in the front if I want to clear a BBK

So my only option looks like its a 245 tire

I might be supercharging soon and need more rear meat. I have Eibach springs and would be running PSS most the year, maybe R888 during summers. I want to run 265 or 275 in the front and either 295 or 305 in the rear, don't think I can go 315 without rubbing.
What I'm thinking, but I'm not sure what offset:
19x9.5
19x10.5
or
19x10
19x11
I'm copying the offsets I see here to try and get an average, but I just want to be sure there's no rubbing.
Let me know which set up you think would be best, and any help on offset would be great, thanks

So what re the possibilities of rubbing?
I have 20x9 with 245x35x20 and 20x11 with 275x30x20 on H&R sport springs and i had some rubbing in the front wheel well when tires were brand new, as the time went by it went away, I guess 245x35 is a bit too extreme

I have 19x8.5 and 19x9.5 wheels with +35 no tires yet. What size will fit and give me peace of mind that the wheels wont break or rub? I don't want to do anything lower then 35.

That is less aggressive than the OEM wheels, those are not going to look very nice on the car

Hey Guys,

Wanted to include my recent change to 255/285. No rub with stock setup - to be expected since this is exactly the GTS setup. Car feels much more planted, and the A/S 3s grip like summer tires with exceptional wet traction (lots of rain here lately in Houston). Truly impressed.

Car: 12 E92

Wheels w/ Offsets: ZCP/GTS 19x9 F; 19x10 R

Spacers: None

Tires / Miles: Michelin A/S 3+ (F) 255/35/19; (R) 285/30/19; New Tires

Suspension: stock with EDC

EDC Setting: All

Alignment: Stock

Fender Modifications: (F) None (R) None

Rubbing?: None on front or rear.

Looking to get a set of Work Meisters S1 3pc in 19s. Been searching endlessly with little answers and still very unsure.

Would a setup like (F) 19 x 9.5 et 23 and (R) 19 x 10.5 et 10 work without rubbing issues if I were to have 265/30/19 and 295/30/19 tires? Maybe Michelin ps2. Seems like the front would be fine as I've seen many members with more aggressive offsets but the rear?

Tire brands don't matter too much to me. As long as they are decent and still give somewhat a meaty look on 19s if that makes sense.

Or would I be better off going with a wider rear wheel like 19 x 11 et 17 in the rear? Looking at these offsets because I like wide step lips.

Closest setup Ive seen after searching the forums was BESTNDA416's old e92 setup of 19 x 9.5 and 10.5 et 22 all around with same tire setup mentioned above lowered on KWV3.

Any help would be appreciated. Stressing out lol

I'm getting the offsets from Work's website: Meister Offsets

Can anyone tell me if this wheel setup would fit on my Non-ZCP E90 M3 with OEM suspension?

Wheels are 19x10 ET25 front and 19x11 ET35 rear.

Tires are Bridgestone RE-11's, size 265/35/19 and 305/30/19.

Any help will be much appreciated.

Thanks

The front tire you want is going to be too tall, you need a 265/30-19 up front or even a 275/30-19 will fit at stock height and look good.
The rear is going to be very tight, that +35 is pretty high. Same rear setup with a +25 would fit better in the rear.
