Ok. So I HAD to try rear 305/30/19.
I know, I know, enough was said that 305 don't fit.

But... I have highly adjustable rear suspension and between the JRZ and the Rogue control arms I thought perhaps.....

Nope!

While going slow it did not rub. But I don't like to go slow since I was 4 years old. At speed the tire rub at 3 and 10, at a non-trimable places.

There was a way...maybe... to raise the car enough to eliminate rubbing, but that conflicted with going fast. So I gave up.

Back to 295/30/19.

Now I know :-)

Thanks for ACM for putting up with me needing to know for sure.

Front 275/30/19 works.
So after chewing my 265/30/19 to pieces from stock suspension all the way to Rogue monoball, jrz, -2.5 neg camber, Hotchkiss sway bars, I am hoping for better grip with the 275.

bottom line. rear 295/30/19.

Pardon my lack of experience but I am looking to achieve a more flush wheel/fender look when I put my summer wheels back on my '11 E90.

I have the OEM 19s 245/265 35-19" and stock suspension.

What thickness spacers should I be looking at?

An experienced friend suggested possibly 12.5mm front and 15 mm rear.

That works just fine! That is what I have on my car right now. No spacers needed but you can add 15mm front and 5mm rear if you want it for the looks.

Great, thanks for the confirmation. When they're not mounted, the tires look like they're too big to fit. Looking forward to getting them installed next week.

What size tires would you recommend i can run without rubbing?

I dont want any tire bulge so i am seeing that these will work best

Rear - 285/35/19

Anyone have a similar spec or opinion ?
Pics please!

Isn't 275/30/19 too small diameter for the rear?

I am not quite sure what you mean by "too small"
Stock 265/35/19 PSS is 26.3" Diameter
PS4S 275/30/19 PS4S is 25.6" Diameter

Yes it is smaller, but that just means more torque

im Lowered on H&R springs and put 15 spacers all around on OEM ZCP wheels. Rears look amazing but will rub on heavy loads. Very doable though and not at a point where i need to replace with 12mm

do you have a picture of how it looks without the spacers? I was thinking of going the same route. I prefer not to have spacers if i dont need them.

Work CR2P
Stock camber

Front: 19x9.5, +25
Hankook V12 Evo 275/30/19
Rubs on full lock on passenger side (vent sticks out just enough from the fender line to rub, can be fixed with aftermarket fender liner that integrates the grill into the liner instead of having a door that sticks out). There is practically no space left between the tire and the fender liner on full lock. Driver side touches slightly but makes no noise on contact.

Rear: 19x10.5, +23
Michelin PS4 295/30/19
Rubs on high compression during turns or very steep decline/incline at fast speeds

Rubbing made minimal difference with lowering springs (stock to eibach pros)

Verdict: Those who say it doesn't rub either are ignorant about it, or had camber they didn't bother to divulge. I would recommend 265/30/19 and 285/30/19 as the upper limit if you want to maintain stock camber. I'm living with the rubbing for now as it's not critically bad, but will probably downsize when these tires wear out. You'll lose some more wheel diameter (about 3% according to my calculator), speedo accuracy, and ride comfort, but it won't rub for sure.

Forgestar F14

I am interested in a set of forgestar f14 wheels, but the offset is stating +20 all around. I'd like to get the super deep concave style and I will be lowered on bilstein b6 w/ swift springs. Does anyone have experience with this or can shed light on potential rubbing?

I have F14 SDC wheels and PS4S tires with these specs on stock suspension:

19x10 +20 275/30/19
19x11 +33 305/30/19

The front rubs slightly on the front and rear of the fender liner during full lock turns. Seems pretty light so far and inconsequential, but it's something I'll have to keep an eye on.

The rear doesn't rub at all as far as I can tell.

Pics of the front rub spots attached.

Here's my fitment -

Wheels - VOlk TE37SL 18*9.5 et22 F, 18*10.5 et20 R.

Car - 2012 E92 M3, non ZCP, stock suspension , stock alignment

Tires - Michelin PS4S, 265/35 F and 285/35 R

NO RUB. Fronts look a bit of a tight fit but no rubbing so far on gentle driving. Keeping my fingers crossed for spirited driving .

275/35 up front would have rubbed for sure with the stock suspension n alignment settings , if not on the suspension , then for sure on the fender liners .
