tire size

opihi5 · 03-08-2016, 08:40 PM

So I need to change tires on my e92 m3(comp package) and the front is 245/35 and back is 265/35. Can the zcp tires go wider or is this the max width?

You can go wider on the ZCPs yes. Easily step it up a size on fronts and rears though Iv see up to 295/30/19's on rear ZCP wheels.

Pretty common for :
255/35 & 275/35
255/35 & 285/30
265/35 & 285/30

I'm putting on 265/30 and 295/30 tires on my zcp wheels lowered on swift springs next week. I'll let you know how it turns out...

The common upgrade (and this is the standard size on the M4) is:

255/35R19
275/35R19

The M3 GTS, which uses the same wheels, runs these sizes:

255/35R19
285/30R19

Unfortunately, the GTS tire sizes severely limit your options. If you do the M4 size, there's tons of choices, including the popular and proven Michelin Pilot Super Sport. Regardless of which size you go with, the speedo difference and ride height change will be negligible.

I see no reason to go any wider than those on a street driven car. The tires will start getting really expensive and your wet weather traction will suffer. For a DD, you don't need huge tires like that.

Very good answer.

Crappy iPhone pics after install on a rainy day but you'll get an idea of how it looks.
