Nibble,

I would be interested to hear how much room the 5mm gave you clear after installing them. Based on Tirerack.com, your tire had a section width of 11.6”, and your overall diameter is 26.0”.

here’s a photo I took earlier of the OEM clearance, it may be closer to 1/2”, hard to tell.

More details on some of the tire sizes we've seen on the 18x10 ET30s can be found here with fitment photos and tire details as well. Feedback from the testfit this weekend: the A052s do not actually clear the front spring perches without spacers. It looks like that tight front clearance was missed during the initial testfit and photo sessions which led to a bad data point on our end.

Ok. Continental 265/40r18 appear to fit, if only by few mm.

You just beat me with my second post by a minute! Good to know the Continentals clear. Do you mind if we incorporate this into the article I just linked?

Please do, but note that I’m estimating the clearance from the photo and I have not driven on them yet. I just had the shop mount and inflate for test fit. I will have them all on and running this weekend if all goes well.

Sounds good, Let us know how it goes!

Thanks for the fitment confirmation and the image! The car looks great on the SM-10s.

19x9.5 and 19x11 SM-10s ordered!

Just curious, no fitment issues with 275/30 and 305/30 PS4S? Ordering tires tomorrow.

Correct, no issues with that setup from what we've seen. The 19" front SM-10s were designed to be run as a staggered fitment only which gives you much more room around the front suspension. This setup should work well for you.

Perfect, thank you! Looking forward to them coming in.

Will post some pictures here of the bronze on black setup once installed.

Those on the SM-10 x 18”. What tire pressure are you running F/R?

Not to purposefully hijack this for some useful data for you but pressures are going to be a lot more dependent on what your pyrometer is telling you, ambient & track temps, the tire compound itself, sidewall stiffness, and driving style than the wheel diameter / wheel.

Well, I knew that 18’s were going to soften the ride a bit (compared to the stock 19’s), so I’m trying different psi to see how the car responds. I’m at 38 psi all around currently.

Loving this setup! Is that a set of our FL-5s on the M4 in bronze?

I wish more people ran those wheels.
