Running 10s and 11s on e93 m3??

spr · 10-20-2017, 02:29 PM

I'm interested in running vorsteiner VFF 103's wheels for my ess 650 e92 M3 in 20x9.5 and 20x10.5. Looks like I need et22 F et34 R.

However, do the 10s front with 275 and 11's with a 305 work without issues? I'd love to run a 305 v. a 295 to get the most amount of traction possible.

I'm running 285/30/19 on stock ZCP 19's with et25 and had to trim the plastic a bit but have no issues presently.

From my calcs I can run a 10.5 and 295 without doing anything if I run about a 35mm offset.

Thanks!

Good thing you have a SC because you will need it with the weight of those wheels in 20s, haha.

24lbs is heavy? Tires weigh about the same. Research....

I believe you cannot run a 275 up front on a 20". The tire is too tall, IIRC. I think max what most people run, and it already rubs a bit, is 265 up front.

If you run 19" Instead, then you can run 275 up front easily.

305 in the rears won't be an issue.

275 in 20s front are a non issue in 30. 305s on an 11 are a pipe dream if you don't have the right offset. I ended up going 9.5et22/10.5et34 275/305 in 20s with ps4s. FYI, max rears are 315s on a et34.
