Both of my F90 M5s and my last M8 used H&R lowering springs and wore custom Michelin PS 4S 295/35/20 rear and 285/35/20 fronts. My current M8 is lowered using KW HAS. I plan to upgrade the Pirellis it came with (they're noisy and they don't look as nice... weird, but true) but mostly, they're too small for my tastes at 285/35/20 rear and 275/35/20 front.

Two questions:
1. Has anyone else added larger tires on stock wheels after lowering with KW HAS?
2. Is anyone running greater than 10mm tread width delta front to rear (e.g. 275 fronts and 295 rear)?

Thx.

I'm on the Dinan HAS and am running 285-295. I had to do 12mm spacers to not rub instead of 15mm. I def like the look of the wider tire better.

I'm on the 20" 789m wheels

Did you stick with 35% profile? I'm thinking of going with the 30…

Believe FSHNGRY in his build post is running 285/295 with kw has and 15/12s, maybe he can comment on if there’s any rubbing

Edit: looks like he did say there is minor rubbing in the rear with 3-4 people in the car

I stuck with 35. I thought about doing 30. If I went 1 step wider I was going to do 30.
