What tires should I run on my vff103?

Hi everyone,

I just purchased a set of vorsteiner vff103 yesterday, and the wheels specs are

19 x 9.5 +22
19 x 10.5 +34
I was told these are flush fitment for my e92 m3.

I'm just wondering what tires should I run with these wheels, I don't track my car and the car is currently on zcp suspention.

Should I get Michelin Pilot Sport A/S3? Since it snows a lot in PA.

Seems like I will need spacers for the rear +34, anyone have any recommendation about what size spacer I should use ?

12mm spacer on the rear, then run 255/35 front and 275/35 rear, Michelin PSS. Who told you 34mm was the proper offset. This is way off !!

I ordered the wheels from platte forme, they convinced me that's the correct offset.. People from vorsteiner told me I should run 6-8mm spacer, 10mm or more could possibly cause rubbing...

That's an ideal offset to run a 305 tire without rubbing.

I have 19's but they are 10 inches wide in the front and 11 inches wide in the back. I have the same front offset but the back I have ET 25 (I think). Im getting these replaced though because of an issue I had with these, and Im getting 103's. I have a 295 on the back, and the front I have a 245 from my old wheels and I have't replace it yet, they look very stretched

you have the rear offset for an f8x. i have the vff103 and my rears are et25 which are correct for e9x. tell them to order you a correct set.

my tire sizes are 265/35/19 front, 295/30/19 rear. no rubbing. i also added 5mm spacers in the front for a final et17.

Yeah, I told them the rear is for F8x m3. But they said it will fit both f8x and e9x, so I just purchased them... I should've waited a little..

those A/S are not going to be ideal for the winter. You need a real snow tire.

Ya i actuality run the A/S on my ZCP M3. They work great all summer long, and work great in cold weather. But when there is a lot of snow on the ground/ice when its the dead of winter you really want full on winter tires.

Yeah, I have them on... But the front 265/35 rubs crazy, so I'm waiting for the 265/30 to come in... Currently running the OEM front tire which is ps2 245/35, it's stretched, looks kind of funny..
