275-35 front - 295-35 rear OEM Black wheels

[/// M sa]

I posted in the other thread, copying and pasting here:

295s and 275s installed rear and front... Drove about 20 miles so far (will post pics over the weekend) and the impression so far is wow! Traction is much better, feed back is night and day and the front gap is filled up pretty well.

Driving Experience with Suspension on:

Sport + with the new set up its a rough ride. Going over bumps are more noticeable.

Sport: Much improved than Sport + and a lot more comfortable ride.

Comfort: Its now my favorite, I will be alternating between Sport and Comfort depending on the day and purpose.

I drove the car hard, went over bumps, took ramps at high speed and I can easily tell the car is more planted than before. The wider look is nice but it still not wide enough lol the car needs 10.5 rears and 10's front in order to make the stance look wide (at least to my taste) but its definitely wider than the 275s rear and 255's front. The tires look bulky (in a nice way). So far I love this choice and will post pics soon

thanks for posting your impressions. so, the ride is now stiffer with the extra rubber? I would have guessed the opposite would be the case.

any pictures you could share would be awesome! thanks again

The ride is stiffer with Sport + but not in a bad way and I may still use it when going for early morning runs on the back roads Comfort and Sport are going to be my daily driver suspension wise. From a dig the grip is really really good, I had traction kick in one time and that was due to all the effing sand still on the ground here in the suburbs of DC. If you like the OEM wheels, I highly recommend this set up and remember I only have driven the car for 20 miles. I will post pics this weekend and with more driving experience with the extra rubber

Here are some pics, will get actual pics of the stance later... Pay attention to one picture where the front wheel is turned as if your making a right turn and see how close it is to inside however I have not felt or seen any rubbing at all.

Night pics, will take more over the weekend from the rear in the day light... Trust me its wider with the 295s in the rear and the front looks great as well.

[MDIVISION]

It looks like you can put a 10mm spacer in front and maybe 5mm in rear

I'm sold on this setup... Now to find a good deal on the 295s....

[TahoeM3]

Looks great! Any more driving impressions, traction off the line, etc? And no rubbing? That looks extremely close in that one pic...

[stranger]

I have the acs springs coming next week

10mm spacers in front will most likely rub when turning the steering. The clearance is already marginal with the 275 up front:

Curious why you think a spacer would push the tire/wheel closer to the fender liner?

what do u guys think about running 275/30/19 and 295/30/19?

Unnecessary wheel gap.

Putting a spacer pushes the wheel farther away for the steering pivoting center. Doing so increases the radius around which the wheel travels as it is steered, so it travels farther forward and backwards.

I had this issue on my E92 running 255/35R19 tires with 12mm spacers, they rubbed in the fender liner when steered.
