Cool, thanks for sharing. PSS has a rounded shoulder which helps with fitment. Good to know it works for you with the FI. You know what camber you are running?

It's really going to come down to millimeters - literally. I have experimented with a number of rear wheel tire sizes and offsets and found that et25 is necessary for a true rub-free setup. However some tires are more round than others - like the PSS. But there's also different versions of certain tires which may run wider than others. For example, the N-spec (porsche) 295 might be a little wider than the regular 295. And then you have to consider alignment specs and the car's tolerances (there is variation between cars). And has the rear sub frame been dropped, new bushings installed, etc. All these little things can stack up to nothing, or to a few mm of reduced or added clearance. Furthermore, the PSS might work but every other tire might not - therefore you are limited to only one specific tire in that size. Et25 does away with most of these issues.

a subjective opinion, i think the FI looks better on E9X M3 than FI-R, FI-R feels very aggressive and more angled and matches the F8X better, FI-R on the E9X M3 will draw too much attention on the wheel and not the entire car

I don't know the camber setting, Carbahn Autoworks did the alignment. One other item to note is that 265/30/19's on the front are too small diameter to match to the 295/30/19's on the back. I should have gone with 265/35/19's and will in the future.

I tried 265/35 on those wheels before sizing down to the 265/30. They made the car pretty hard to drive and my fender liner was wrecked.

Sometimes their site is a little quirky. I often double check by "searching by brand" and looking at Available sizes for the tire I want manually

Bumping this thread.
I know everyone is saying the FI-R offset of +35mm in the rear is not ideal. But what if you pair it with a 305/30 tire? The high offset would help out with such a wide tire, right? Plus the 305/30 is closer to OEM OD. Thoughts? |

305 is a little wide for a 10.5. I would prefer a 295 in this instance. A 295 with a spacer isn't a problem.
