275/30/20 Rears on 666 wheels? Has anyone done this?

[bmwturnsignal]

Hello,

Recently I tried placing an order on Tire Rack for the recommended tire sizes on my F80 M3 (Style 666M wheels). Going with the PS4S. For the front, they had the 265/30/20s but they're out of stock till early July for the 285/30/20s. I checked on every other site and they're out of stock directly from Michelin as well.

A Tire Rack rep called me yesterday and said the 275/30/20s will work as well on my rear wheels and changed my order to that.

Does anyone run 275s in the rear? If not or if it's not the best idea, what size would you recommend instead?

Thanks

Instead of 275, I’d size up to 295. 295/30/20 is a better option IMO.

I’ve been seeing the suggestion on the forum too. I’ll check to see if they have the 295s in stock.

Would there be any difference in terms of handling or clearance?

No issues with clearance on a stock car, esp if you aren't lowered and don't have spacers. It will make the car look more aggressive. In terms of handling, the wider rear tire will provide better grip. It's the route I would go.

I ended up changing the order to 295s like you all suggested. Thank you for the help!
