I have the ps4’s and they’re awesome. I didn’t know they still made super sports but they’re good as well. Check out the ps4 as well.

Thanks, will do.


Im thinking of running 255/35/19F 275/55/19.

I want to avoid rubbing, but i still want it to have an aggressive look.

I'm pretty new at this. Any help/feedback on tire size will help. Thank you.

You can run that size no problem, I had that on my e93. This time I just stuck to the stock size, don’t really notice a difference for street driving.

Ahh ok. I was watching a youtube video of a e90 m3 running mpss with those sizes and it was rubbing.

I only need the width for the these nasty potholes lol.

So MPSS (the link in the beginning) with 255/35/19F 275/35/19R is a go?

Again, thank you so much! being new to the whole tire thing any help means alot.

rubbing in those sizes is due to wheel width/offset and or spacers being used. That size is very commonly used on e9x m3. Look into the Micheline PS4 as its a newer itteration of the PSS...

No prob, I know it can be a bit confusing in the beginning. Like SFC said above, rubbing issue is most likely due to spacers. If you aren't running any spacers 255/275 will definitely not rub and you will be fine.

Check out the PS4's also, I agree they are an updated version of the PSS and when I bought them actually ended up being slightly cheaper than the PSS with the rebate that was going on. But either choice is solid and you won't regret it!

Search. These cars are a decade old and people have tried all combinations.

On OEM wheels, 265/35 is too big up front, you could go 265/30. 255 may rub on full lock as well, too many variables to know for certain.

I have ZCP GTS wheels.
Typical flush spacers on stock tire sizes with zcp's are 15 front, 12 rear

Sounds like consensus if moving up one size (255 35 19 on front, 275 35 19 on rear) is to go with 12mm front spacer and 10mm rear spacer

I see no reason to run 265/35R19 up front. Tire choices are more limited, you need a spacer, and the F-R offset is different from stock.

255/275 combo fits perfectly and looks nice.
