From my research searching this thread and other posts, it looks like I’d rub if I went 305 in the rear but should be fine with 295. I’m more questioning the fronts- 275/30 looks like I’d rub, but don’t know whether I’d be better going 265/35 or 265/30. I’m trying to avoid having to make any major camber adjustments. Thanks.
You shouldn't have any rubbing but I would be open to adjusting camber. OEM camber specs are inadequate IMO. Pull your front alignment pins and maximize your camber (should be around -1.8 degrees depending on ride height). I would personally go with 275/30/19's in the front. If you adjust the camber as I suggested, 275's wouldn't be a problem and you get a little taller sidewall than 265/30/19's. 265/35/19's will rub when you turn due to the overall diameter (too tall).

An added bonus is that your et18 front wheels help you with inner clearance to your KW's. I rub my KW's with anything greater than et20 0n 9.5" wheels with 275mm tires).

Lastly, click the link in my signature for pictures of my car on 9.5" et19 wheels with 275mm Michelin Pilot SS. I have -2.0 degrees of camber and zero rubbing. I have gone as agressive as et15 without rubbing.

Rubbing- The rears only rub if I go over a large hump like a speed bump to fast.
The fronts have a little rubbing at full lock and a little at half lock if I'm going up a steep entrance to a parking lot at a angle or something like that.

It works, but is a bit "squirmy" at the limit. I eventually upgraded to a square 275/35 on 10in wheels setup.

Your info is meaningless without wheel offsets.

Ok, so I have to ask- Am i asking for trouble contemplating a 305 on a +25 offset wheel in the rear?

Yes assuming you are talking about a 10.5" wheel. You might be ok on an 11" et25.

I haven't done it so I can't say for sure but it may work. I don't see much advantage of a 305 over a 295 however. 275mm is the maximum size that fits in the front. I think a 20mm stagger or less is best for handling purposes (in other words a 275 front and 295 rear). That being said, I think a wide tire in the rear looks bad a$$.

Was previously running 17.5mm spacers on front with 15mm rear, ZCP wheels with PSS 245/35/19, and 265/35/19 combo. No rubbing at all with car fully loaded except when front wheels turned completely.

Now I just got The Advan AD08s which have a larger width than the PSS. Tire sizes are still same as stock (245/35/19 and 265/35/19). What's the maximum spacer size I can go with? Reading through this thread, I see at least one person was successful with 15mm in the front, and at least one other person with 15mm rear with this tire/wheel combo.

I'm guessing the biggest I can go in the front is either 17.5mm or 15mm, and in the rear either 15mm or 12mm. Anyone try these out with the E93 M3?

Thanks!

Here's a challenge for you

18x11et 25 Rear. I want to run 315/30-18 in the back there...

Tire spec has a tread width of 11.8 in.

Currently at -2.3 degrees in back, maxed out.

Track setup only.

I know the front setup I'm going to run clears.

Sorry for the noob question. I read this entire thread because I want to do a combination of spacers and lowering. When people here write "stock", "OEM", "ZCP" and "ET18, ET25" for wheel is this all synonymous? Are these the same thing?

Basically I have stock wheels and tires on my 2008 E92 M3. I am not sure what exact specifications that means for width and offset just that they are 19s. I read the wheel spacer sticky and was thinking to get 15mm front and 12mm rear. But what about springs?

Again, sorry for noob question.

Is anyone running 19x10.5" rears +20 with 295/30 PSS?

I see people running that tire size with +22 offsets, but worried I'll rub with +20 as it is getting pretty aggressive..

I'm running 19x11 with new 295 PSS et25 and am dropped on kw sleeve kit. It's super tight but only rubs on huge dips like at bridges and only on the fender liner not the actual fender. Impossible as it may seem. I know for sure a et20 would not work with a 11" with a 295

Thanks for the info. I'll do the math in relation to your extra half inch and ET difference to see where it would sit exactly versus my wheel.

I don't like the slight stretch with 275/35 PSS and the next step up would be 295/30 with their sizing

On the front I'm running 275/30 PSS on a 10" rim and there is a slight stretch to it so yea a 295 would be better but a 295 PSS on a 10.5 will have a slight bulge to it. A 295 on a 11" rim is dead even. I never understood why they don't make 285s in the PSS :/

This is a great site that might help you with the math and et

So take half the width, subtract the offset from that, and you know how much wheel is sticking out past the hub.

11"/2 = 5.5"
25mm/25.4= .984"
5.5"-.984" = 4.516" of wheel width going out from the hub on the 11" wheel.

10.5"/2-5.25"
20mm/25.4=.787"
5.25"-.787" = 4.463" of wheel past hub on the rims I am getting, so I will have a nearly identical fitment on the fender side.

Although I'm lowered on swift springs and the drop is .7" in the rear - do you know what drop you set for your KW Sleeves?

Thanks!

I dunno really. I can't fit my hand in there though. This is a picture when first installed before it settled. It's a good bit lower now but this is all I have right.
