dude slam that thing with supersports, you will clear by a mile. actually you prob need 5mm spacers to clear the back w that high offset in back, esp in 10" wide. Its gonna rub the inside im almost positive, you will be the first to rub inside instead of outside LOL. I would do a 275/30/19 it will look even. otherwise do 225 in front so the stretch is more the same if you go 265, its gonna be stretched in back and almost straight up front the way u posted 235/265

What are the consequences later or problems the 4matics will have for installing the super sports and not the regular sports? Cause i wanted to go with the super sports but i ended up going with the regular sports cause I didn't want any problems

Not necessarily. A member here did some research and apparently the springs are the same. He ended up getting the super sports for 4MATIC and they work fine.

His post is #128 in this link below.
