BUMP this thread. Any more info on running square, especially on an X-Drive to free up tire options? I can only run the MPS4S for so long before I get a new more track oriented set.

I am currently on the fence between running squared 18s with a 285/40s or 19s with 285/35s. Either will work great and getting a set of front 824m's x2 looks to be about the same as Titan wheels or the Apex VS-5RS that will be released soon in a 19x10 squared.

Either option gives a us a great selection of some real track tires.

What's the offset for the factory 19/20 setup?

I believe it's ET 20 on the 826M wheel. 19x9.5 and 20x10.5

I just ordered a set of Apex VS5-RS square 19x10 et12 and Goodyear SCR3 285/35-19 - anyone else running a similar setup? Any issues with rubbing in the front?

Vivid Racing forged and the upcoming Apex forged wheels you can run the 19 or 20 inch front wheels as square. 285/35/19 or 285/30/20. You might get some rub up front when turning in reverse, but very easy fix with a heat gun and clips to roll and trim the fender liner pieces that are rubbing.

After having my xDrive on track twice, it's clear this car does not need more rear tire, it needs more front. I am looking to go square for my next set, performance wise and so I can rotate save some money on tires.

Will running a square set up cause any issues with the Xdrive since it won't be staggered?

What size wheels you have is irrelevant as long as the height of the tire is the same.

Any new options here that anyone is liking? As I’m getting more and more addicted to tracking this thing, I’m thinking a dedicated set of track wheels would be worth it. Are there decent lightweight options that don’t break the bank? Not sure where to begin with track wheels and which brands hold up well to the abuse. Do most of you run squared? Or should I look at 19/18 staggered? Any help here would be appreciated

I ran Square 285/35/19 GYSC3R and now running 265/35/19 F on 10" wheels and 305/30/19 R on 11" wheels GYSC3R. Just experimenting 285 in F with 305 in R seems to be the combination but not possible with xdrive. 265 on 10" wheels front end grip is not up to the point. Next gonna experiment 275/35/19 and 305/30/19. trying to keep the diameter close to 1%. Some one in FB ran Falken 660 275 and 295 and said xdrive worked flawlessly at track. Someone need to break down what is the tolerance %

My 275-35/19 set of BF Rival S 1.5 are pretty much done, maybe still one or two sessions in them.

I am trying to source Nankang CR-S in 295-30/19 to run square on my 19x10 wheels. I know it's at the limit of the rims for these tires but I still want to try it out. The beauty of this setup is cross rotation when you have asymmetric tires, makes tire wear a breeze to manage for track duty.

Will get back with feeback

CRS got backordered when I was ready so I got Continental Extrême Force and I really like how they perform, they are very consistent and durable but are probably a bit slower than CRS.

In case it helps, my F80 street setup uses a 315/30-18 on the rear (11 inch wheel). They run small. I bought them last year so they are v1. Assuming v2 is sized the same you should be ok.

They are very very grippy tires but are only good for a handful of hero laps. Fwiw, Phil's Tire Service, describes the v2 compound as designed for time trial and autoX applications.

Nankang should do a better job differentiating this tires. It used to be called the CR1, then it's CRS and now it's the CRS v2 but they still seem to be making the V1 so why not call it something different?

Yellow Stuff by EBC are a great option for track and fast road use. We have seen and heard great results for a hybrid road/track user.

Spacers we normally recommend 12mm at the front and 15mm at the rear.

Any one that was looking to get a set let me know.

If you don't run more than 6-7/10 pace maybe and even then, we are many who went trough sets of EBC blue pretty quick and these are even more track focused than the Yellow.

That seems like it would partially defeat the purpose of a square set up which is to be able to rotate tires all around.

https://support.apexraceparts.com/hc...-Fitment-Guide

Apex Race Part's fitment guide doesn't mention whether this would be detrimental to the drivetrain.

Any update please?
I intend on tracking in April and looking for a 19” square setup. People who are running 19 , are there rubbing issues and more importantly , how does x-drive handle a square setup?

How did your ECFs handle the weight of the car? What hot pressures did you run? I’ve heard they have pretty soft sidewalls (even softer than Michelins).

Also what offsets are you running in your 19x10? Any spacers? Front rubbing?

There aren’t many good options at 295, so I’m also considering doing a square ECF setup, but likely on 19x10.5s instead.
