I'm running 15/10 spacer combo on zcp wheels with a RD Sport drop. In the front with the spacers and a minor drop you will rub if you go any taller than the stock size. As for the rear 275/35 you may get away with if the tire you choose has skinny sidewalls and 295/30 will most likely have slight rubbing

It is absolutely impossible for your car to be rubbing with such a mild spacer setup and drop with stock sized tires. I am lowered just as much as you with 18mm front and 15mm rear with no rubbing with a full car. I can actually do a 20mm front and 18/20mm rear and it won't rub. I will be keeping the same spacers for the 255/275 combo. If I choose the 265/285 route, I will switch to a 15/12 setup.

I will say this though...you don't want to go any taller than the 255/35 setup as it seems height of the tire means more than width for the front. At 26" tall it is a tight fit for a 255/35/19, however a 275/30/19 size front would actually have been the better fit. Just a 275 tire on a 9" just barely makes the min requirement.

Dave are you running any spacers? I'm planning on 265/35 and 295/30 PS2's with a 10mm spacer in the front. I think I can get away with that setup without issue...even the 285's in the rear looks pretty flush on you car if you aren't using spacers.

The 265/35's will be too tall for the front, you will rub on full lock. With the 255/35/19s I am just a hair away from rubbing. I am not running spacers on my car at all. The rears are pretty flush as you see, the front can definitely go with a 12mm spacer. That is why really with the 9" wide front rim a 255 is as wide as you should go anyway on the front. Yes a 265/30 or 275/30 will fit on a 9" wide rim but you will lose crispness due to the sidewall not being supported properly.

I've got a 275/30 front. Maybe it's the AD08 sidewall, but I don't feel that I have lost much if any front end feel/crispness of turn in. Part of that is also down to the increased level of grip and responsiveness of the Yoko's v PS2s.

I have a 10" rear with an ET-5. It could use more still. 18-20 is far too conservative on a car with such an aggressive natural stance and profile.

'11 AW M3,
Here are some pictures for you brotha. Hope it helps you make you decision! And just to clarify, there is still room on my car to space it out about 5mm in the front, and about 3-4mm in the rear. I am currently using 18mm front spacers, and 15mm rear on 245 front and 265 rear tires.

If you use the PS2's or RE050A PP's or something that usually runs wider than stated, then yes it will rub. For the PS2's in 285 out back, i reccommend a 10 or 12mm spacer.

If the vreds came in 285/30/19, I wouldn't even think twice. Do you think if I went with the taller 275/35 vred that I would rub out back with a 10mm spacer? Dave- I currently have the same setup as you -255 front and 285 rear. I am running a 12/5 spacer setup, and there is definitely more room in the front and rear. How much room, I don't know (but it seems like Malek answered that question). I am going to try the 10mm spacer in the back as soon as I get some free time (unless I replace the tires before then). But from what I can tell, 10mm should be no problem.

275 vred and 10mm spacer will not rub. Go for it IMO.

Malek, I hate to be redundant, but you do think the 295/30 vred will rub with a 10mm spacer right? I know the 255/295 combo isn't a great stagger...

However, must of the rubbing will be on the bumper, where its considerably thicker than the quarter panel. Our quarter panels are completely factory rolled, so there is no more room there unless you pull it, but that looks purely disgusting. The bumper can be slightly trimmed and completely out of sight as far as it being modified.

Malek (and whoever else may be interested)-
I swapped the 5mm spacers in the rear for 10mm, and I am rubbing Stock height, 275/35 Vreds in the rear... Is it true the sedans have more room in the back than coupes? I know that another member on here with a sedan said he had slight rubbing with this setup. Back in the e46 days the coupe had a good amount more space than sedan (talking about non-m), so I assumed the same for this platform and thought I shouldn't have any rubbing... Guess not?

So I'm thinking of buying the GTS competition wheels and putting them on my M3 (non zcp). I have the stock springs on. Would a 275/35 PS2 rub with a 10mm spacer in the back?
Given the stock springs, I think I should be OK. |
