Wider tires on stock wheels and suspension
I know there are a few guys here running wider than 285/255 set up. I just purchased PS4Ss rear 295/30/19 rear and 265/35/19 front. Can anyone comment on this setup, it seems as though the rolling dia. is very close to stock. Should I drop the front to 255? I upgraded to PSS 275/35 r and 255/35 f from the stock tires. I have a sedan, stock height c63 S. I am thinking about lowering with HR springs as well, if anyone has any insight on these springs as well that would be great.

I ordered 9.5" front wheels and 10" rear wheels as well as PS4S 265/35/19 front and 295/35/19 rear, the guy who sold me these tires owns a M3, he told me 295/35/19 for rears is more comfortable and would give a better muscle look than 295/30/19. I will post photos once they are arrived and installed in early May, I'm also considering lower the car with KW HAS coilovers.

I was originally planning to keep the stock wheels, however, the guy told me it would be a waste of tires if I try to fit 295 wide rear tires on 9.5" wheels, and as far as I learned in this forum, 265 for 8.5" front wheels might have some clearance issues, and it's not the preferred maximum width. I recommend you to get 255 for front if you really need to keep the stock wheels.

You can get by on larger sizes (no rub) but the largest size to properly fit a 81/2 wheel is the 255 and largest to fit the 91/2 rear is 285.
