Ran through the rears so picked up some affordable replacements BF Goodrich G-Force Comps AS-2's. Because they were so affordable I decided to run a little experiment and raise the sidewalls. I have 20 inch rims so I was told that 35 front and 30 rear is the max height. I raised the rears from 30 to 35 and kept the front the same. I went from to 275 to 285/35 and no scraping! I have no errors and the ride quality has improved interms of soaking up road imperfections. I have less than 500 miles on them and so far their stickier and quieter than the Sumitomo's HTR Z's. The rear has a little meaner stance on 35's and from what I understand that's how Alpina runs the B7. It's a beefy tread design on the BF Goodrich but so far it's good and I can't tell if the speedo is off I'll have to compare it to an app reading.

can you post another pic from further back.
It looks a little off having 35 in the back vs 30, but i'm sure thats something you can get used to after a while. do you think this screws up your speedo? |

That's what my wife runs on her F10. 255/35/20 front and 275/35/20 rear. We did the 30 rears initially and the ride was too bumper for her taste. Speedo may be off by ~2mph but no biggy. Ride is much smoother and it fills in the rear wheel gap better. This only works if you have a RWD.

Thanks PJinCA
Here's a better perspective of 35 front and rear. Now I'm wondering about proper tire pressure. Stock claims 38 rear 35 front and that's for 19's.

Looks weird, like you're driving a dragster.

This. It's pretty obvious you ordered the wrong tires and anyone who knows better will think the same. Sell 'em and order the correct sizes. I would bet the comfort difference is negligible between a 30 and 35 series sidewall. Can't really justify it

Pulling up an old thread bro but how are those 35's holding up? Any regrets along the way?
