275/30-20 and 305/30-20 On an F80

[aivancich@verizon.net]

I ordered wheels from BC Forged for my 2018 M3 Comp. 20x9.5 ET 20 and 20x11 ET 40. BC forged is recommending a 275/30-20 up front and a 305/30-20 on the rears. I am lowered on EMD springs now and was wondering if anyone else has a similar setup with the 275's and the 305's. I got like the stretch look on a tire but am trying to decide between these and 265/30-20's up front and 295/30-20 in rear. Any thoughts? Pics to share [IMG][/IMG]

Stick with 265/30/20 as a 275 is not a good at all choice for an F80.

I run 275 - 295 on my 2017 M3 ZCP Ultimate (Canada only) and it rides/ looks fantastic!
The 265/30/20 front always looked small and stretched.

Nice are you on a 9.5" wheel? I also wanted a 305 in back and I hate the stretches look

Which tires (make/model) will you be getting?

Michelin PS4s, 275/30 on a 10" wheel & 305/30 on a 11" wheel. A 9.5" front would be almost 13mm narrower which would fit a 275 well, more square up front and not stretched at all.

The only thing I'd suggest, in case you didn't already know, is ensuring your front and rear overall diameter matches closely to the OEM sizing.

Ahhh so these are yours. I am lowered on springs and was worried but I would prefer a 305 and a 275 just don't want to rub. I have 10mm spacers with 265 and 285 now

No rubbing for me with the current setup. I'd say perfect for what I was after.

Same wheels, same offsets, Same Specs Different color
Tires are:
Fronts: 275/30/20
Rears: 305/30/20
Both front and rears would rub so u need to try play/adjust the camber.
I'm lowered on KwV3s and measuments is 25"3/4s from ground to fender line.

Wow looks great. I thought they would rub a little, I may just go with 295 and 265 as I really don't want to adjust camber If I don't have to. Thanks for the pics and details

Stick with 295s and 265s unless you really need the grip at more than BM3 Stage 2 power levels. No need to mess with suspension and the slightly stretched tire does in fact improve agileness. This is something I noticed when changing to an 11" wide wheels with 295s from a 10.5" wide wheel, especially when cursing at highway speeds. And this is something you don't have to be driving fast to enjoy. Looking back, the car felt a little heavy with the narrower wheel, but I'd imagine the same concept applies.

I, too, experience higher levels of agility while cursing at highway speeds

Thank you! Greatly appreciated

I'm 20x 10 et 15 front with 255/30 and 20x12 et 44 with 305/25. No issues with rubbing even aired out.
