Increasing tire profile?

JDMSteven · 03-02-2019, 12:55 PM

Currently running 245/35/20 front and 275/30/20 on my M3 Comp Reps 8.5/9.5 no complaints whatsoever. Should I go up one profile to give it a meatier look or maybe run a slight stretch? Or keep my current sizes?

Also, suggestions for spacer sizes?

IMHO it looks fine as-is. Caveat... Personally I HATE the stretched look.

Thanks, and yeah I think it works on some cars but a big classy bimmer probably not

All of your answers depend on what your goals are? is it for the fender to lip look?

On the aesthetic side with that wheel style a taller aspect ratio it'll look weird. It'll look like you bought the wrong size tires. If you go to the M3/M4 forum most of those guys with your wheel talk more of how wider they can go without going taller. Like ezaircon4jc it looks fine as is
