295 tires on front

Anyone running a 295/30/18 tire on a 18x10 ET 33 with a 10mm spacer on the front of the F80? Are there any rubbing issues? I am looking at running this size for my Hoosier R7's

This is the tire size you can run on rear not front. Even if there is no rubbing issue, this size is too much and will definitely change all the angles of suspension. Your steering wheel will be so heavy and drive will be so uncomfortable.
Just for your reference I ran 275 on the front of my M6 (265 was factory setup) and I could feel the difference.

Well I'm just talking about a track setup, 295 square

295 Hoosiers in front fit on a GTS, so I don't see why they would not on a standard M4 since both have the same fenders and liners. The GTS does have a different spindle though, so you might need to play with the offset to get it to fit.

Ive seen it done. I was at the track a few months ago and someone was running 295/30/18 Toyo R888r's with those wheels/specs. I can't remember the spacer size but it was lowered and did not rub according to this gentleman.

if you haven't seen this thread, you should.. if you decrease the diameter of teh fronts you have more working space to go wider.

not the best for asthetics for that crowd, but work great on track..

There's no point in running a square setup on an f80... Square setups are meant for cars that understeer something that the F8x never did.

Also stay away from the 30 profile tire they are thin and offer a rough ride with little to no performance trade off.

Staggered is the way to go...285/35 front and 315/35 or 325/35 rear with the right offsets biggest I can go. Most people on here do 275/35/18 and 305/35/18.

Running a square setup especially on R7's would be just fine. Being able to rotate them for track use is a nice benefit.
