Need new tires, 666m wheels what tire size most people run

As title, rears are in need of replacement. They currently have super sport that are 285/30-20, and thinking of going to the pilot sport 4s at 295/30-20 (but can also stick with the 285/30-20 or go 305/30-20). Wondering what everyone is doing when switching, I did some search on the forum but there isn't much.

Go with:
FRONT: 275/30-R20
REAR: 295/30-R20

Much better setup then 265 and 285. M4s do not have any rubbing, height issues. But M3s do have issues with 275 up front..

Totally agree with the above. I changed to this setup with Michelin PS4S and love it. Less road noise, *much* improved traction, and the vertical sidewalls look better and give more protection to the rims.

No rubbing on M4... even with M Performance HAS (set at BMW recommended height)

The tires mentioned above are all for 20 inch 666M rims. You appear to have 19s?

Where do they rub on the M3 fronts? Would lowered on Swift Spec-R's with camber plates help with the rubbing issues or make it worse?

Thank you for this comment , I've been searching for HOURS and hundreds of pages to finally find out I can fit the damn 275F-295R PS4S spec on stock 666 wheels AND put on the MP HAS with no issue. Thank you !!!!
Now I just need to find out if I can put 305's in the rear 😂😂😂😂😂😂
