Do the 10.5 et27 need a spacer up front with coilovers? How much camber are you running?
And the 285 are 30 ratio tires?

Also, can anyone report if the 10.5 fit in the back seat?
I'm staggard now, but thinking of swapping out the fronts to 10.5 from 9.5 ARC 8 now.

Let me get this straight... You are swapping out parts designed by some of the top engineers in the world because some guys sponsored by a company told you it's "better??" But when you ask the same guy about tracking, "oh no, I have a kid now" or "I just detailed my car." or "i just got new tires."

You won't get 4 10.5's across in the back seat. Can do 3 and one flat in the trunk

Up front I use either zero spacer or a 2mm, the 285/30 R1 is insanely wide and it can rub of the suspension collars. I also have both ET24 TA5Rs and ET27 TEAL16, only one of the two needs the 2mm spacer

I drive to the track on 10.5 wheels with 275/35 RE71s and then at the track I swap to 10.5 with 285/30 R1

The 4 10.5s fit perfectly in the back seat of a E90. I've also tried four 11" and they also fit the rear seat. I need my trunk for the jack, tents, etc!

Edit: rear seat = space where the rear seat used to be, prior to getting yanked out

I remove the seat bottom and the seat back. I think the same amount of wheels would fit without those removed, but I haven't tried it

I've tried without removing anything and I could get 3 in there.

I assume you have to slide them all in from the trunk?

I take out the 2 rear seat bolts that attach the side mounts and loosen the fronts so I can swing the seat out of the way.
