E46 M3 - 19x9.5 and 11 tires?

[jamesclay]

Either 255/285 or 265/305 - anyone with experience on these? Stock bodywork, tight roll, coilovers.

Going for the 285 - the 19x11 actually measures out to 12" and it looks like it will require a little persuasion...

265/30/19 fronts and 315/25/19s in the rear have been fit to 19x8.5 and 19x10.5s.

My wheels are 19x9.5 and the tires are 235-35-19 front and 275-30-19 rear

Can you send a profile picture of the two? I don't like the stretched look and I am trying to figure out what a 255 gives me - should fall between your two.

Just got the car back from our painter. I did get the 19x11 to fit. Went 255/295. The rear fenders had to be "rolled", but they look pretty stock and super aggressive. The results:

Stock wheel with new fender

Stock on left, BBS on right. The picture doesn't do the width justice
