Those with 285 rear tires, come in!
I just ordered a set of VMB7's with a 245/35 - 285/30 stagger. The ream offsets are an et45. Is anyone having rubbing issues with this wide of a rear tire? I'll be running H&R sports temporarily, but plan to slightly tuck the tires once coilovers hit the market for the Gran Coupe Xdrive.
Thanks in advance for the insight! Mike |

I have VMB5 with hankook evo with that setup.
You'll be fine. I really like the fat tire look too. I'm on KWV2, it just barely clears. I've been on it and city streets for about 5 months. |

Front - 19X8.5 +40ET & 245/40/19
Rear - 19X9.5 +45ET & 285/35/19 Slightly lowered on Eibach sport springs (~.75" front & 1" rear). No rubbing issues on the rear, although it is VERY close. I have 5mm spacers in the front which pretty much makes for a +35ET in the front and it rubs the inside of the wheel well the tiniest bit only if I turn the wheel all the way one way or the other. You may need a 5 or 10mm spacer in the front but you didnt specify the width of your wheels which can obviously make a difference. |

If I had to guess I would say they will probably rub. all 4 tires are about 3/4" taller than stock. With those wheels you should have:
Front: 245/30 R20 Rear: 285/25 R20 I'm not saying the above sizes won't rub, but you definitely have a better chance. |

The difference between the front and rears should be <1% (for awd vehicles) while you're largest diameter should be <3% from stock.

I'm guessing he's just going for looks. |

RE760 weigh in at 29 and 31 lb, while tires like the Hankook or Pirelli are 25 and 27 lb (26 for Pirelli). In the grand scheme of things, it's not huge, but I figure I'd point out the difference if you still had a choice, especially since now that heavier weight is pushed out even further up-sizing to a larger wheel diameter.

Totally just panicked and went down to a 275. I had the 760's on my E92 and really enjoyed the look and drive of the tire. I'm not too concerned with the extra weight... This car is just getting me to work and back. I'm putting a tune on it to get a little more power out of it, but not expecting much.
Thanks for the input, everyone! -Mike |

I lose traction with my 285's, I wish I could go bigger. But I'm also FBO
