295/30-19 on 10.5" ET45 fits stock GTS front?

[SYT_Shadow]

Posting this here as this question is GTS specific.

KW suspensions reduce clearance in normal M3s as their spring perch is really low. People get around this by using shorter springs but I don't have time for that. In the case of the GTS, it looks like the kingpin-strut angle is quite different than a regular F kingpin so it has extra clearance.

This weekend I test fit a set of 295/30 R7 in 10.5 19" wheels with ET45. Much to my surprise, up front the wheel/tire seems to clear the perch with a 15mm spacer.

Of course the car will have camber plates up front so the tire gets inside the wheel well.

Any comments on this? Has anyone tried this fitment before?

It needs a 15mm spacer for sure, but have other people run this fitment with the stock suspension?

I'm not sure if it fits well with a 15mm or a larger spacer with such a wide tire

For what its worth...I've tried something similar using oem GTS wheels 18x11 et30 using a 295/30/18 w/5mm spacer on OEM KW GTS suspension.

I have another set of wheels coming in 18x10.5 et15 w/ 295/35 tires.

More big wheel confirmation: 18x11 +44 EC-7 w/ a 25mm spacer and 295 Toyo RRs had decent clearance to the outside fender. Was curious about other tires and then moved on to another platform.

So the stock rear wheel should fit on the front with a 10mm spacer?

I'm running a 305/35/18 NT01 up front on my car on a 10.5 et 28ish wheel. But it's not on the stock KW's.

My doubt is on stock suspension, because for sure that wheel fits aftermarket suspensions
