Getting ready to put new tires on my 2019 e63s next week. I'm tuned with a couple minor hardware changes. Putting down 691 whp. Does anyone have good info on whether or not I can go to 305 in the back? Would I have to change the 265's up front. I'm just worried if this is possible, and I want to make sure that the dimensions are correct as to not screw up the all-wheel. Also, any ideas on tire brands. I'm thinking about sticking with Pirelli Pzero or possibly Michelin 4S. Thanks in advance for any helpful info.

 

Not sure about the width question, but stick with Michelin either way.

 

You can mount a 305/30/20 on the rear stock wheel but there is a bit too much sidewall flex in my opinion when cornering. So I went back to the 295/30/20
I run 285/30/20 up front on the stock rims..

P4s is the tire of choice for the E 63s in my opinion..

 

Thanks for the info. I've done that before another cars that worked well. I will probably take that route. How does it launch with that setup? Did you notice a little better grip?

 

wrong thread

 

Im running 305 in the rear and I barely notice a difference between 295 & 305. If you feel a difference its probably placebo

 

 

depending on the tire manf sometimes a 305 is actually the same footprint at the 295. Or is so small a difference that its meaningless for performance

 

I'm curious as to how much this changes the look of how the tire sits on the rim which -- I assume is OEM 20". @izzy63 , any chance you could post a close-up pic of what a 305 tire looks like on it from a couple of different angles?

 

are you asking if it looks taut? Im running aftermarket rims size 20x11 as opposed to 20x10 (stock) in the rear but I highly doubt you would see a difference between 305 and 295 from a aesthetic point of view

 

This post is directed to izzy63: What are your specs for front and rear? Tires and wheels please. I love the way that looks on the back. I have a wagon too and I’m looking for perfect figment without affecting the AWD sensors. I came across the Avant Garde AGL43 wheel and came up with this setup: Front 21x10 Offset 12 and Rear 21x11 Offset 48. Do you mind sharing your setup and post more pics of the front and back? Thanks a lot.

 

I'm running +18 in the front and + 52 in the rear. 20x10 & 20x11. Wheels are by BC forged. I'm going to sell this set soon so if u wanna take it off my hands I'm all ears

 

Dude! Let’s talk. I’ll DM you.
