need help picking tire sizes for lowering springs

[gfade.z]

i'm deciding which tire and spring setup to run right now, i've been leaning towards eibach and running a 275/35 front and 305/30 rear but the h&r allows for a 305/35 in the rear. kinda torn right now so i'd like to hear some of your guys' opinions and pics or vids if you can thank you. ??

ps. running 19x9.5 in the front and 19x10.5 in the rear

FYI 305/30 is going to be a smaller diameter that stock

I'm 275/40/18 Squared. If I lowered the car I'd go 275/35/18 Squared. Great daily driver setup on stock power (mind you I've done some verkline stuff in the rear).

Do you recall the offset? And, are you using spacers anywhere?

I put 255 square on the Z4 for winter, but had to have some spacers in the front because the wheels (+35mm) spokes didn't clear the calipers. Interested in what others have done, 275 all around would be sweet.

Using 305/35 size tires will make the over all wheel smaller by .4"

Sure do!

APEX SM-10RS

I do not run spacers.

I haven't noticed any rubbing and I've checked multiple times.

HOWEVER, I haven't taken this setup to a drift event so I can't vouch for full lock counter steer as I do not hit full lock drifting on the streets.

what would you guys run? 275/35 front 305/30 rear for eibach springs or 275/35 front 305/35 rear for h&r springs?

Neither. Whiteline springs | 295/35 & 265/35

The diameter of 305/30 is smaller than the stock 275/35.

The sidewall will look thinner and you will have more wheel gap.

If you stay stock tire diameter or go larger diameter tire up front, you will pitch up.
