why did you choose 295 on your rear over wider?

Here are my fronts so you can see fitment. I'm stock height, 20x10 w/ +35 offset and 275/40 front and rear....

firehawk indy 500's are soo underrated for how much they cost

275 40 20 up front and 315 35 40's on rear, now with that said, everyone will tell you not to do this.
First reason i did this is i was tired of scraping the rims on the curb, the tires balloon a little, so no curb rash since, i also have the Rs V6.
Second and most important I got the (i did have some goodyears) BMW Bridgestone run Flats and they have a better road life, I've had these tires on my car for at least 2 years and still have life left in them.

275 on front 315's on rear - fits just fine. Rims are 9.5 front and 10.5 rear.

racesloth · 12-31-2019, 02:23 PM

Here is how the fit...

what is the front offset?

I just picked up a set of the 19x10.5 Apex wheels on the winter sale. 35ET and plan to run 285-35 square on them with a 15mm front spacer, so effectively 20ET front on a 10.5" wheel. I ordered the Eibach pro-spacers which seem to be very well made specifically for these cars. My set-up will be rotatable - although with the miles I drive this car that won't matter too much. I've only used up 50% of the original tires in 3.5 years of driving.

TireRack has a heck of a deal on the Cooper RS3 tires which I plan to order this week - $132 a tire in the 285 size. Hard to beat that. My next pick would have been either S007A for $250 or Pilot SS for ~$300. so 1/2 to 1/3 the cost on those coopers, figure it's worth running them for a few years anyway. I have a neighbor running those on his E39 M5.

I have 20x10/20x11 replicas and ran 315/35/20 in the rear and there was annoying rub occasionally on the passenger side. I just switched to 335/30/20 on the same wheels and it almost never rubs now.

10RJT33 · 01-02-2020, 05:58 PM

BrentX1 · 01-03-2020, 02:12 PM

Unfortunately, Firestone does not offer a 315/35/20, so I opted for the 305/35/20 in the rear. 275/40/20 in the front. MRR755 gloss black, 20x10 and 20x11. Getting mounted next Tuesday. Can't wait!!!!

BrentX1 · 01-03-2020, 02:12 PM
