255/275 pss on m359 wheels

I know this topic has been discussed over and over again. My ?? Is I currently have stock conti's on the car lowered with swift spec r springs. Upgrading to 255/35 and 275/35 pss. I have 15 mm spacers front and 12.5 mm rear. Not sure if any of u guys are running this set up and if it will work without rubbing especially in the front. 👍

Rear will be tight. With ZCP suspension, I ran 12mm in the rear and rubbed on that little notch in the wheel-well.

Report back on 255 up front with 15mm. That's on my to-do list.

That's what I'm running with no rubbing (15mm front and 12.5mm rear, 255/275 Michelin PSS).

Yes; KW clubsports. Here is a picture of the car with 15mm front and 10mm rear spacers. I subsequently switched to 12.5mm rears...

Remember that alignment settings play a role. I have around -2 camber front and rear. I should also say that I have also worn down the protrusion in my rear fender liner (where the fender and bumper meet) from previous wheel/tire fitment.

Ok thanks hopefully I can get away with it. If not I have to buy new spacers. The front should clear but I may go with 5 mm in the rear. Another option is to stick with the standard size. It looks so much better with 255/275 like how he wheel well is filled out.

A-ha. It had to be previous rubbing and alignment. I was pretty close to "safe" when I swapped from 12mm to 10mm. That protrusion was almost dead. I do miss how flush the 12mm looked back there.

Nice to see another driver who thinks the car already has enough badging too.

Just change to this size with Bridgestone S-04, what psi should I run for front and rear? I am sticking for factory 19" of F:35 R:36 for now...
