Yes, Potomac PCA is excellent I think they run a spring VIR (I don't pay attention to which region but I like PCA DE in general) event as well. Great folks and much less anal than BMWCCA for the advanced groups.

Doing a thread revival to get some clarity and consolidate answers.
I will be doing upwards of 6 track days a year. Car is pretty much a garage queen rest of the time with occasional mountain runs. Can you fit RE-17R 265/35/19 and 285/35/19 on the stock ZCP wheels/suspension with appropriate camber without rubbing or bottoming out? I currently use TMS spacers (F 15mm/R 12.5mm) on MPSS 245/35/19 and 265/35/19. Can I retain this spacer size for fitment or will I have to downsize/get rid of them completely?

A 265/35/19 up front will be too tall I suspect. I run the 255/275 setup Shadow mentioned, works very well. Fronts get beaten up way quicker than the rears though. I'm going to look at square setup for next season.

The 40 series rubber works for my aesthetics, and also makes the ride of the car much more pleasurable on a daily basis. |

I know this is a RE-71R thread so I will touch on the tires only minimally. They are Conti Extreamcontact. I switched to them (instead of the stock M3 PSS in 40 series) as; 1) the PSS have the super soft rain compound on the inside edges of the tires. With camber I was eating through the rain compound and they became a s**tshow in the wet. The conti EC's hold up much better and are REALLY good in the wet. 2) The PSS and 4S tires are not compatible with the wet/cold spring and fall track days I get. Sub 45 degrees out and damp and they are a mess. The conti EC's are fine in the wet and cold. I switch to track tires in the dry and warm either Toyo RR or RE-71R. I don't have a pic of the conti's, here these are my snows. 245/45-18 square. Sidewall size is within 1/4 inch. My kids call her snowplow.

Oooh makes sense now. We thought you were running 265/40r18 and 285/40r18 on an E9x.

Ah, my bad. I was searching for info on the RE-71R and missed that I strayed into a different M3 section. Again, my bad.

Yeah, me too, I test fit one of my rear 265/35/19 PS4S on the front of my car (similar height to a 265/40/18) on the lift the other day and it rubs like crazy, so I was really confused too when he said the 40's fit. I do think it probably wouldn't be too bad of a fitment in the rear though. I'm trying to do weird autocross things that get me a tire taller than a 285/30/18 RE-71, but most likely just need to go to the 275/35.

Fronts do also, but will scrub the fender liners at full lock.

My RE71's are pretty worn down on one edge. Would you run another track day on these? I'd have to run them backwards to get the best tread on the outside. Also, it's a 50km drive to and from the track.

I wouldn't want to even if it could work. Diameter is too large, also depending on which front tire you use, the difference could cause an issue with dsc behavior.
