If you lower the front, that would be perfect. I personally hate reverse rake.

I'm sure if a lot of people were interested in a higher offset to fit wider tires, they will definitely listen. RF is a very accomodating company.

Just makes no sense to offer the 19x11 in ET38 for the F8x models. You could always use a spacer behind an ET44 if you're stretching a 285 over an 11" wheel, but you can't "de-space" an ET38 for a wider tyre.

My guess, that offset was chosen to allow a more concave look.

Duly noted gents, we certainly would entertain a bit higher offset 11" design for folks wanted to fit super wide. If we can organize say 5 members for commitment to justify, we will certainly provide that option!!!

Contact at info@richlandforged if you are interested in committing to such an option to get the ball rolling!! We will coordinate an effort henceforth will all parties.

Much obliged for the feedback, the 11" ET38 option did provide us to go deeper in concavity, but we also realize there is no "perfect" option for all!!!

Just curious. What is your feedback between a 265/30 up front VS a 275/30, on a front 9.5" wheel.

I see some people run 275/30, and others 265/30.

My understanding is that a 275 May rub @ full tilt unless you adjust the camber.

On the F80 M3, 275/30 has a tendency to rub the liner at steering lock, such that 265/30 may be preferred. The F82 M4 has a bit more accommodating clearances such that 275/30 is more viable. 265 has additional characteristics of keeping steering live/nimble. 275 of course provides a bit more street grip, but makes steering just a tad more numb (almost negligible).

Looks beautiful. I wish RF would offer a 12 inch wide rear

Thumbs up

Hello,

the car looks amazing. Do you have any rubbing issues in the rear with the set-up of these tires?

DanMpower Almost perfect M3, but why do you have headlight washers?

How wide are your front wheels and offsets?

Do you rub at all on the rear. I am in a dilemma between the 20"X10.5" and 11" rears with a 295/30/20 PS4S

Don't be juvenile. It could even use a bit more gap up front to level the car instead of the dragster rake you seem to prefer.

He is right, either lower the front a bit more to level out the tire gap to fender or raise the rear a tiny bit to make it actually appear more level. I realize the rear fender hangs a bit lower but it doesn't look right. Some setups make it appear as if your coming home with bags of sand in the truck from Home Depot (this set up does not but EMD springs with no rear puck make it look like this).

Wrong.

There's a reason why BMW themselves set a bigger gap up front tire to fender than the rear. It's because they're obsessed with 50/50 weight distribution. It's quintessentially BMW.

Only troglodytes try and match gaps evenly. smh

I'm not at LeMans trying to break any records. I'd prefer my car not be going down the road looking like a 98 Cadillac with blown rear air bags. To each their own however.

I come from a long line of Troglodytes, so no offense taken.
