Running the same as FISH22, no issues whatsoever!

Are you xDrive? What tire size is FISH22 running? I'm xDrive and am trying to figure out what tire size to go with on the TE's while staying within the 1%. Going for a very mild drop with KW HAS (highest setting on both front and rear, 0.4" front, 0.2" rear). Want a size that will fill the gap but I don't mind the stretched look either.

I'm RWD, running 285/30 & 295/30 4S's. While I don't have the concern with F/R deviation, I still wanted to keep it very close to factory specs (as you might know, RWD and xDrive cars have identical wheel/tire setups).

So yeah, 285/30 star spec front, 295/30 Porsche spec (N0) rear. They are spot on and would be for an xDrive car too. Tirerack has some great spec sheets on most tires, you can compare tire heights there, if you're looking at others besides Michelins.

Hmm, if that's the case, maybe I'll take my stock rear Pirelli's that are 285/30 and use them for the fronts and buy new Pirelli's for the rear. As much as I hate these tires and want to go with PS4's, I just hate the idea of throwing away the stock Pirelli's when they have been bare used.

Similar case for me.. swapped my 285s to the front and just had to purchase new 295s from Tirerack.

This is the way. I lucked out with Michelins when I picked up my car last week. Plan is to put the rears on the front and order 295/30/20 blackwall or N01 in the rear. My car is xdrive.

Still haven't gotten around to doing a proper photo shoot but here's how she's looking right now.

That's a meaty setup, what tire sizes are you running? Are you xDrive?

Ugh, so good. 305 on the rear? Meaty for sure.

Tires are 275/35/19 and 285/35/19, quite standard actually. Just the rear PS4S look super wide in the pic. And the car is RWD 6MT

Thanks! Actually 285 in the rear, but looking to swap them out soon. I think a 295 or 305 will look better. The rear wheels are flush but the tires cave in a little bit.

Ah gotcha! Looks great! These must be a Supra spec as they're 19s?

Yupp! Went with Supra spec as I liked the matching face-4 front and back. Also liked the extra $2k in my pocket heh.

are you running any spacers in the front or rear?

Yes, 22mm in the front and 25mm in the rear. The fronts rub the fender liner fins a bit on reverse, need to push them back even more with a heat gun.

The wheels specs are 19x9.5 +23 and 19x10.5 +35

FISH22 · 12-11-2022, 08:51 AM

Always thought the rears could use a little more offset in the rear. Experimenting with a 3mm. Pretty much impossible to tell in the photos, but it's just right. For context; rear is 20x11 +15 w/295/30 4S N0(Porsche). Technically a +12 now.

I just got myself a set of FC 5mm spacers for when I mount the 1000M wheels on. I’ve never done spacers before but wanted to have the wheels pole out just a touch more without introducing much additional risk of rocks flying up onto the paint. When I pulled the 5mm spacers out of the box I laughed and thought to myself, what’s the point with how small they are. Lol. Didn’t even think anyone made anything smaller than 5mm!

Ha! Yeah same, I pulled the 3's out and I'm like "what the hell am I doing?"…

The nice thing about the 3's and 5's, is that there's still plenty of center bore lip for the wheel to sit on and align.

FISH22 · 12-11-2022, 02:10 PM

Cleaned up. Well, mostly. Barrels look like crap.

Looks good fish! Any top down view? Opinion if 5mm would cause too much poke?

Traveling for work but I'll definitely grab some when I get back next weekend.

It's funny, I was actually considering trying a 5mm out to see if there is too much poke
