BFGoodrick g-Force T/A™ KDW - 275/35/18

I just had my rear tires replaced. Previously, I had the same tires except the tire size was 255/35/18. Reading up on this forum, I noticed some people had issues with 285's rubbing. I decided to go with 275's. So far (after 1 day of driving), I have not had any rubbing issues. I haven't taken the car out for a spirited drive yet so I have nothing to say on performance gains yet. Here are some pictures of the fitment. I forgot to take "before" pictures.

Update after 2 days: No rubbing issues what so ever. I haven't noticed any substantial increase in grip. I'll take the car out for a fun spirited drive tomorrow and post some results.

Very nice.

The 275's should have been on this car from the factory.

You still using 235's in the front?

Yes

I had these tires on my 55 and LOVED them, other than a very noisy death as they were on their last leg. I got a good 20k+ out of them amazingly.

Yes, still using the 235's in the front. I've read some people use 245's without issues. I know the E92 M3 comes with 245's in the front. Yes, it's all about who's bigger at the end

My wife hates these tires. They're actually noisy as hell all around. She never pointed em out until I got this new set. She was hoping for some Michelin's as they have a few tires with amazing performance, yet are amazingly quiet. I need to search this forum to see if anyone created a quiet without performance loss tire thread.
