I don't think that would rub

[Grayblack]

No rubbing for me on the following:

E92 M3
18 x 9.5 et 19 265/35/18
18 x 10.5 et 19 285/35/18
Bilstein B16 Damptronic Coilovers

[imported_Riq]

I have ZHP 19x10 25 offset squared wheels. E90.

Currently run Yokohama AD-08Rs
265/30/19 front , 295/30/19 rear.


No Rub on KW sleeves. Cant specify drop, but rear is very low(tire inside fender)

I switch to PS4S 275/30/19 up front and 295/30/19 rear. No issues whatsoever on front, rear rubs a bit on large bumps, will need to raise about 3/8-1/2 inch, but then again I am very low out back

[EnVe46]

Considering a set of vorsteiners vff 103s.
Specs:
19x9.5 et22
19x10.5 et25

The rears have 295/30 Pirellis and I'd need to get tires for the front. I have a 2011 E90 ZCPall stock. Will these tires work for the rear and what size fronts will work without rubbing?

[spr]

I went through all of this and these appear to be my conclusions:

UPDATED CONCLUSION

Stock zcp are 19x9 31 and the rears are 19x10 25

http://www.1010tires.com/Tools/Wheel-Offset-Calculator#

REARS max 295 on 10.5 et34

All statements of an 11" and 305s working are entire BS. I'm running 10s et25 zcp and pss 285s rubbed before trimming the plastic liners. 295s on a 10.5 with the additional almost 10mm increase offset and bring it to same with 295 ps4 width to the fender.

FRONTS max 275 on a 9.5 et22 or 10"

19x10 et20 w. PSS 275/30 no rub; this seems fine. People have run the zcp 10"et25s on the front with 275 30 without issue.

Turner 12.5 spacers
Stock ZCP Suspension
ZCP wheels
Currently running - Front - 245/35-19 // Rear - 265/35-19

What size do I need to get to get a thick full sidewall look? I don't like the rounded off sidewall. I know some tire choices are the issue due to wide-ness. I run Michelin PSS.

255 285 in either 30 or 35 are max for 9/10s. 35s will be taller and meatier.

Meh sounds like I am maxxed out already then.

[spr]

Is that's what you're running. Sorry it was a typo i fixed 285s are max on 10s. 265s need a 9.5 and 295s need a 10.5 or they'll be sloppy pigs.

I am running Front - 245/35-19 // Rear - 265/35-19 on 12.5 spacers.

Ditch the spacers and go to the right size tires for the rims. Big handling difference. You can leave the front spacers if you want to remove a little understeer caused by the larger 285 rears and 30mm difference v. 20mm stock bias.

Will this fit on an e92?

Front 19x9.5 - offset +17mm
Rear 19x11 - offset +35mm

[spr]

Good q. I don't have my 9.5 et22 yet to advise on such an inside 17 et. There's 3 parts of fitment. Offset, width and tire. I'm going to run 9.5et22 on 275 and 10.5 34 on 295. Fyi, per my math with a 275 30 ps4 on a 9.5 et22 gives only 5mm clearance!! There should be no issue with my setup as I've already trimmed the rear plastic. Everything I've read on an 11 and offsets seem total bs less you're running small like 285, maybe 295 depending on offset. I commend you on going the correct way on offset to try an 11. I have an email to vorsteiner in trying to do an 11 and 305 in the rear. My prior math showed necessity to sdo a stupid high 40+ offset to clear. I may crawl under and measure shit but need a bay to measure status ride height clearances. I'll measure real clearances when I get my rims in 2 weeks. You can crawl under your car with what you have and really figure it out with a caliper.

I run 295/30/19 at the rear with a 11 +25. Have a touch of rub on big bumps and that's it

Hey guys, so I was adding in the split width based off the et25 which was wrong as I was coming from my comp zcp 10" at et25. Here are my revised figures based on PS4 tires.

With my 10 et25 and 285 now I have 1" clearance inside and .4" outside.

The increase section width from 285-295 is .5 or .25 each side.

Thus, with 10.5 et 25 rear with 295 it would be .75 inside and .15 outside. Super close outside to the lip but it clears.

However, with a 10.5 et34 and 295 I have .40 inside and .50 outside clearance as the 9mm offset difference is .35"

The increase section width from 295-305 is .3 or .15 each side.

Better still, with a 10.5 et 34 and 305 I have .25 inside and .35 outside clearance. This is ideal as I wanted to run a 20 x 10.5 and 305!!!!

See my info re why. You're basically just at .15 spacing and the .25 more on a 11 v. 10.5 probably pushes it a hair more too.

I saw your signature. If you're running a 9.5 front you should be running a 275 30 19. Your 255's are a tad too small for that rim. I'm running 255's on a 9. 9.5 should have a 265 or 275.

Thanks for providing input on the rub.

Hey guys,

So I've done quite a bit of research and decided to go with the F:15mm/R:12mm spacers for my stock E92 M3. However, every time I look at my car, I can't help but feel like there isn't much space between the top of the rear tire and the fender. I'm sure if I hit potholes it'll rub, but I wanted to see if anyone has any experience with the 15/12 spacers on a stock E92 M3. It seems like there is much more space in the front so less worried about that.

If there is rubbing, should I plan on leaving the EDC in sport...or not go for the spacers?

Thanks!

Reading the posts and all are very helpful. Im in a bit of a dilemma. and want to change my set up. I just got a pair of michellin P4s in 255/35/19 up front and 295/30/19 in the rear.

I read some of you have a similair set up. Im just wondering whats the best wheel offset to use with this since ive decided to also upgrade my wheels. Right now im on an older pair of Iforged senecas that came from the old E46 m3 and i had to add spacers 11 in front and 15 in rear. car is on a KW V3 with a spartan BBK.

is there a wheel offset I can use that will work with those tires?

I'm not sure on running 275s on the front. I know they will fit but I'm not sure going that wide on the front for handling. I had a HSV R8 (ala Pontiac G8) which I ran 275s at the front. Car use to hunt every bump, tram line and I'm convinced braking was worse. Not sure why bit of extra weight inertia I guess

Nice to see another Sparta BBK user, although I haven't put mine on yet (Got mine in Sig. Blue and looks awesome)

Anyone tried running 265/35/19 on the front and stock suspension/camber and got away with it?
