Tire fitment question - VFF-103

[jbyoshi]

Hi, I have a fitment question for the forum cognoscenti... Has anyone tried 285/30/19 Front and 305/30/19 Rear on the 19" VFF-103s?

-Looking at Potenza s04s in those sizes, I really liked these tires on my e92.
-It maintains the factory stagger and the difference in diameter from OEM is only 1.2% front and 1.5% rear.
-Not sure if the s04s would bulge on the 9.5/10.5 widths...they're at the low end of the recommended ranges for those tire sizes.
-Anyone run this setup up front with no rubbing? It looks like people are having success with 305 rear, but seem to be using 265 front. I'm planning for completely stock suspension...

Thanks in advance!

IMO a 285 tire is a little too wide for a 9.5" wheel but it would work but cosmetically it might look a little off.

The 305/30 is perfect for the rear although you might want a 11" wide wheel for that.

I'm going with either a 265/35 or a 275/30 up front on a 9.5" wheel and a 305/30 on my 11" rears.

Right on, sounds like I might be better off with 275/295 given that I'd be on a 9.5"/10.5" wheel with the vff-03.

Given the tires available, it looks like I'm pretty much gonna be running MPSS or AD08r, though I don't think I'll be tracking it enough to justify the AD08s. I had much better luck with the S04s vs the PS2s on my e92, but perhaps the PSS will be an evolution over the PS2.

that is what i have, 275/30/19 and 295/30/19 PSS on VFF-103. they are ready to mount when the car arrives!

Nice, I'm definitely in the wait as well, likely a July timeframe. Definitely interested in seeing pics when your car arrives, I ordered SS as well. Did you go for the gunmetal or the black on the 103s?

The optimal set up is 265/35/19 and 305/30/19. This is the best in performance and looks. 275/30 stretches the tire and it looks a bit funky.

Here's a picture of the wheel and tire set up on an AY M4
