295/35/19 Tire Rub?
I have a 2018 BMW M3 F80 on base stock suspension. I also have Vorsteiner FF-103 wheels that are staggered in 19” x 9.5” ET22 and 19” x 10.5” ET34. I am wanting to go with a 265/35/19 for the front and a 295/35/19 for the rear. My question is, can anyone confirm that the rears will fit without rubbing? I’m fairly confident they will but don’t want to burn $1k finding out otherwise. The recommended Vorsteiner sizes wirh a 30 aspect ratio would leave too much wheel gap without being lowered which I don’t want to do. Thanks.
Edit to add: I’ve searched and seen close examples of this with some running 295/35/19 but with different ETs. Last edited by F80Rhino; 02-22-2026 at 03:12 PM.. |

I think so too if that’s the case. With an ET44 and 11” it seems your tire sits further inboard by about 4mm and my tire would sit further out by about the same amount on a ET34 at 10.5” wide. I can clear the fender and was most concerned about inboard and vertical clearance under jounce. Thanks for the input!

Rubbing is not a concern for the wheel specs and tire sizes listed in the OP. No additional camber is needed either to keep the wheels tucked inside the wheel wells.

Thanks for the reply! I put all the examples of different offsets and wheel sizes in to Gemini and Claude and got the same answer but always prefer human confirmation.

I have the front setup on a set of street wheels and the rear setup (except a 295/30-19) on a set og track wheels. A 295/30-19 square setup is more commonly used for the track but, IIRC, the 295/35-19 rolling diameter is closer to a 265/35-19’s rolling diameter so it’s a better match for your staggered setup.
