im almost certain u will rub in the rear
the front may clear but honestly you're probably going to rub front and back

Front will work
Rear most likely will rub but I honestly have not tested that specific rear spec because the manufacturer’s max recommended rim width for 295/30/19 is 11”.

Hmm, but Porsche runs a 305 tire on a 12 inch wheel for their GT3. Also, here’s a pic of a 295/30/19 tire on a 11.5 inch wheel.

Yes, Porsche has exceeded manufacturer's published recommendations a few times. That being said, I would presume that they designed the tires to accommodate (considering that N-spec tires are create in collaboration with Porsche).

You wouldn't be the first person to stretch a tire beyond the recommended limit. That's up to you. The tire in pics looks to be pushed beyond ideal rim width but will you die? No. It just might not perform as well as it could.

I second this. I've been running a 305/30 on a 12.5 on my other car for the last 4.5 years with no issues but I drive that car SLOW. I was even worse with the setup before that was a 255/35 on an 11. I'm not doing that when I get wheels for the M3, probably will run a 295 on a 10.5 or 11. In fact it's the exact opposite at the moment since the previous owner slapped 295/35's on the ZCP wheels. Man I'm getting old....

yeah the Porsche N0 spec tires are different than what most people on here buy, so it's not really a similar comparison.

in fact, a little stretch is preferred in some cases.

i think the G8X run 285/30/20 on a 10.5 wheel on PS4S star which gives a little stretch.

I agree with what you are saying. I generally run tires on the max recommended rim width to maximize sidewall support and tread width. For example, 10.5" with a 265/35/18, while many people run that same tire on a 9.5 or a 10. The example you gave with the G8x still falls within the manufacturer's recommended max rim width. But, again, 295 is not meant for a 11.5 wheel (according to the tire manufacturers spec).

yah, like im on a V730 275/35/18 on a 10.5 but it's the most efficient tire size too lol and the V730 is narrow.

I'm currently running the Essex AP Racing BBK CP9561 caliper/380mm disc

Does anyone know if the Front 19x9.5, ET25 BBS LM-Rs will clear this bbk?


Before I pull the trigger i'm hoping to confirm fitment. I reached out to Essex and they said they "don't know" as LMRs are not on their confirmed fitment list.

It would be easiest to simply install those wheels without guessing on what spacers you would need and just see how they fit. You could probably eyeball the amount that you want to them stick out more.

Also to get a good ball park of 'perfectly flush' without doing it the mathematical way, you can take a 4 foot construction level and place it vertically (90° to the ground) next to your fenders, and then put a ruler horizontally where the top of the rim edge and the tire sidewall meet and measure from the tire to the edge of the level. That will give you the thickness of the spacer that will be required to get the tire in line with the fender. Depending on your tolerance of aggressive stance, you can deviate a little more or little less if your measurement is within the standardized sizes that spacers come in.

Would anyone know what size tires I would be able to run? Im getting a set of custom LM-Rs from friend of mine. Im currently on stock ZCP suspension, will eventually move to coilovers later on down the line.

19x9.5 +13
19x11 +19

Would it be possible to run 275/30/19 front and 295/30/19 in the rear? Or what tire sizes would be recommended for this setup?

with out coil overs / cambers plates you are not running that comfortably and look "good"

Not sure if this constitutes aggressive but need some help with a set of wheels I'm looking to run - 18x10 +22 square. How much camber will this require? I'm all stock and not planning to run camber plates.

Hi all, wonderful forum.

I have a question about fitment. What do you guys think about this specs?

Rear 19x10 ET25 with 275/35?
Front 19x9 ET15 with 245/35?
Got a nice deal with this wheels.

Else i'm thinking about a more aggresive fitment.

R 19x11 ET 25-30? tires 295/30
F19x10 ET 20 tires 265/30

Car is lowered on H&R springs.

Greetings from Sweden

The front is equivalent to a commonly used 9.5et22 - it’s about 0.025” more aggressive. A 245/35 is fine for the front (stock tire size)

The rear is identical to the Comp pack 359M wheels which are 10et25 with 265/35. You may need to add at least a 5 mm spacer to get similar outspacing to the 9et15 front wheel.

Your more aggressive setup with an 11et25-30 should fit just fine with 11et25 with 295/30 being used by others. The 10et20 with 265 should work but the tire is really stretched. A 275 or 285 is commonly used. Depending on your front struts there a chance there could be contact by not with a 265. Is a 265 designed to work with a 10” wide wheel?

The wheels that i will get a good pricing on is the AG 359, but i have read that they can rub in the front with such a low ET. Really dont know if i should go for them, like the OG style.

About the 265 tire. I googled what tire size will fit a 10 inch wheel. Recommended was 265 or 275, max size was 285.

Thanx again for the help, really appreciated

Where does it rub? I’m running 18x9.5et22 front with 275/35-18 tires and I have no rubbing. Rolling diameter is 0.3” shorter or 0.15” on the radius. The outspacing is 3.883”. The 19x9et15 has an outspacing of 3.909” which is virtually identical. I know I could run a more aggressive offset than 9.5et22 and I believe I have more than 0.15” clearance to the fender liner. I’m pretty confident I could fit a 245/40-18 on a 9et15. If this doesn’t work than you can’t run a 19x10et20 (et25 I believe has a clearance issue with the inner strut/spring) with a 265/30-19 (unless the shorter sidewall clears?).

I would say yes, since the OEM 359M rears are 10" with a 265/35/19. Since 275/30/19 seems to be run on the "square 359M" setup to avoid front rubbing, I assume a 265/30 would likely not introduce too much of a problem, but if 275/30/19 is known to generally fit it might be a safer option.

lol Thanks for pointing out the obvious! I knew the stock rear 359M is 265/35-19 on 19x10et25. I’ve been looking at f8x and e9x M track setups for so long with 275/285 on a 19x10et20. However, 19x10et25 is an aggressive backspacing on the front especially with stock struts and stock barrel springs.
