The 275/35R18 NT01 has about a ¼" smaller radius that the stock PSS in front, so yes it increases the fender gap slightly.

Just updated "ideal" 18" and 19" staggered setup sizes on the OP. "Ideal" means the front and rear have the same rotational diameter and very close to stock height (661mm-671mm).
For my setup, I will go with staggered. As long as I don't use directional tires, I can still rotate tires left to right. Our cars don't have an issue with understeer, so 255 or 265 front is good enough. I can't decide 18" or 19" yet. Logic: 18" will cost $200 less per set of tires. 19" looks way better and will clear future brake upgrades. Help!!! Hint: They will be strong, light, and bronze.

Any suggestions for alternative setups? I would prefer to go with a wider rear setup. What about similarly priced wheels from another manufacturer? |

For tire size, go 265/40 or 255/40 front and 295/35 rear. 305 is too stretched out for 10.0" wheels.

Forgestar is your next best bet. They too have a lead time, certain vendors may have them in stock.

it's a huge gap.. makes me think i should get a leveling kit like they make for a pickup truck. ha! some mentioned using a "45" sidewall to help fill it better but i think that may create issues in the back? not sure though. i don't care too much about wheel gap on a track setup. they're more flush, more gap... win/lose so it's a wash i guess. we'll see how they do on an 80+ degree lapping session. first tires of this caliber (and car) so we'll see how it goes!n

Ouch! If I remember right Forgestar was in the $5K range for a set, is that right? I really think you guys need to look into CCWs, they gave me 3 weeks and I got them in 3 weeks ($3900 shipped), completely custom made. Although, if I knew I could fit 12" in the rear, I would have ordered those, but 11s are doing very well thus far.

Also discount tire is offering $40 off on their website which gets it to about the same as the sale price. |

Fwiw the Apex 19 x 9.5 ET 22 with R888 265/35/19 looks about perfect up front with stock suspension.

Do you guys know if K&W CS can keep the rear at near stock height? The V3 would slam the car, even at the lowest setting.

Apex 18x10 ET25 are fine, might rub with slick tires and lowered. You don't need spacer. If you plan on running wider tires than 275 in the rear, then go ET43 with 15mm spacer front (since ET33 are out). http://f80.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho....php?t=1120504
