The 20 666m with the 265/30 fronts suck. I tossed those as fast as possible.

Thank you for the reply. ..But is there a technical reason why BMW and others do this on the GTS and CS ? Is there any advantage other than looks?

Having a 20 or a 21 (think Porsche) in the rear gives you access to wider tires without a massive sidewall increase. Reason 3 is many cars these days with wider rears just look better with larger wheels in the arches versus the front. Again. There are way more answers and tech specs. These are just the basic answers. To me, the staggered tires are the way to go

ok. Those answers makes sense.
thanks guys ! I can immagine 19" with a 35 sidewall vs a 20" with a 30 sidewall would ride much better. I'm considering selling my 666Ms and getting Richland GT4s ... was thinking 20" rear and 19" front possibly.

Higher sidewalls generally produce more ultimate grip while shorter sidewalls improve handling response. Comfort was definitely not the primary objective on the CS and GTS...
