Biggest Tyre Size on an M6?
Im installing a 315/30/20 R888 tomorrow on my stock M6 rear wheels. Do you think i'll have any issues?
My next option will be Pirelli PZero 305/30/20 but i really want to go for the bigger size! Anyone have 315 installed on their cars? Much appreciated! |

Will the shop allow a test fit? Usually places like discount have a 30 day return policy. I know a guy has fit 325 on his M6 with an aftermarket 20x12" wheel.

As for tire specs, 305s are best fitted with 265 compared to 295. See chart below.

Not sure why my MPSS 305 on M6 343M (which is 0.5" wider than M5 343M) looks more aggressive to me... I mean looks like despite the wider rim, tire stands out more... more enough to protect the rims from curb rash
Look at these pictures:

People think wider tire (or wider track) means more traction and grip. It's not always "true: and traction doesn't mean handling or agility at all. There is a close relation between width, length, height, weight (distribution),power and aero dynamic of a car. I bet this particular M4 is extremely under-steer and has horrible drivability. 30-40 mm over OEM tires is ridiculous...
