Michelin 4S 265/35/19 VS 275/30/19

MGF80 · 03-13-2019, 04:08 PM

I am torn between two different sizes for my front wheels. I will be running a 19x9.5 F & 19x11 R. I am dead set on a 305/30/19 rear but torn between a 265/35/19 or a 275/30/19 Front. Is anyone running either of these front combinations using a Michelin 4S? Feedback and pictures would be much appreciated.

Hi there! If you are going to be running 305's in the rear, do the 265/35/19's for the front. Looks better in my opinion!

Hey Kim, thank you for the response. Ironically I am going to be running RT88's and Supreme does a ton of BBS. Would you have any pictures to share?

I have the 275/30/19 4s in the front and I really like them but like others have mentioned with the 305/30/19 rear the 265/35 front may have a better overall look for you. Keep in mind though the stock staggered height has the rears about a half inch taller. If you run the 265/35 and 305/30 combo they will be the exact same height. I run 295/30/19s in the rear to maintain the stock height difference.

265/35 is your best option

It really depends on what you want. The 265/35/19 gives more of a meaty look. If you go 275/30/19 up front the car will sit considerably lower as this overall diameter is almost a full inch less than the 265/35/19

The 265/35/19 and 305/30/19 will share the same diameter. Here is a comparison of my car on BBS FI-R w/275/30/19 | 295/30/19 compared to my old car with 265/35/19 | 305/30/19:

Any issues to date on your set up?
I'd just ordered MP4S 275/35/19 F and 305/30/19 R will be using stock M4 rims. Please let me know. Thanks in advance.
