Tires Losing Traction
Right now I have 403m rims with pilot sport a/s 3+ 225/40 in the front and 255/35 in the rear. I am currently running stage 1 BM3 on my 2014 335i, but plan on going stage 2 once I install a downpipe, and I already lose a lot of traction when doing 0-60s. Will pilot 4s’s with my stock rims be able to handle stage 2 without losing traction when doing a 0-60, or do I need to get wider rims and tires.

Are the tires warm and still losing traction? Maybe go for a higher performance tire.
Cant answer on 4s as I never had a set (and only have a measly stock 320 ) |

Get a 2nd pair of rear 403m or daily your rear with yokohama advan 052, if that's not feasible.
If you go wider i suggest MPS4S in 245/35/19 & 285/35/19 or 245/40/19 & 275/35/19 on rims of appropriate widths and offsets for each setup. |

I can hook 255/35/19 PS4S from a dig with MHD stage 2+ E20 map and FBO (+more) mods on 2015 335i. So long as i am on a clean, dry road and the road/tires are not cold, i will have little to no spin. If i do spin it will only be very briefly and they will grip by the top of 1st. Generally speaking, getting stickier tires is more important than just going wider. AS 3+ are a great all around tire (have them on mazda 6), but arent on the same level as a UHP summer like the PS4S. Note, this is without LC, as engaging LC usually just means spinning more. No LSD.

Thanks for the replys. I think I’ll just change the tires since rims are not in my budget yet anyways. I am thinking of going ps4s 245/35 in the front and 255/35 in the back. I know 225/40 is the stock setup for the front, but I heard that running 245/35 can be better for the front to prevent understeer. What do you guys think are the ideal sizes?
