275/20 front tire on a F10 550...

SriRamJaiRam · 03-26-2012, 01:04 AM

Has anyone tried a 275/20 front tire on a F10 550? I am currently running a 255/20 up front and it works fine... My front wheel is a 20x9 with a 35 offset and I have a 10mm spacer so it's nice and flush w/ the wheel well. No rubbing at all. Also running KW variant 2 coilers.

Are you sure? 275/20..... You don't think it is too wide and may affect agility of the car?

I got the idea cause the new F10 M5 has a 275 front. But I also know that the front fenders are wider on the new M5. But I'm already running a 10mm spacer on a 35 offset wheel with a 255 on my F10 550. So if I go down to a 5mm spacer or no spacer at all, perhaps a 275 will work on my 9" wheel. Just a thought. Feel free to chime in anyone....

I'm pretty sure the new M5 "only" has 265/35/20 in the front.

I thought it was a 275 front. I'll check it out.

Nope. The 3 new M5 F10s that I have see are all 265 front

I could have sworn it was a 275. Guess I was mistaken. The me M5 has a 295 rear, correct?

remmib · 03-30-2012, 11:01 AM

Yes, it got 295 rears.

Interesting that Dinan is suggesting 275's in the front with their wheels.

275 on a 9" width?

Tyre will fit the rim, but just barely

Interesting... I knew it could work. Might look nice on a F10 550
