21 inch tire set up
Just wondering what is the ideal size for running 21 inch tires.
Would it be 265/30/21 and 295/35/21 or 305/25/21 Would 245 or 255/30/35/21 work and 285/30/21 work for the car or be too big? |

that would look retarded not to mention makes the car a TON slower and be incredibly sloppy

HRE P101 21x9.5 Front = 20.8Lbs
343M 20x9 = (11.2kg) or 24.7Lbs 21's are 3.9Lbs lighter HRE P101 21x11 Rear = 23.0Lbs 343M 20x10 = (11.6kg) or 25.6Lbs 21's are 2.6Lbs lighter 21's dont have the 275 option in the front like the 20s do. So went with 265 and 305 rear. |

245/35/21 or 255/30/21 with 285/30/21 isnt' recommended for a 21 inch set up?
any opinions on this. Seems to be 255/30/21 and 295/25/21 the right options as I'm trying to find some tires that will match this set up. The wheels are just for cruising around town in and such it isn't for any performance gains. |

I'm guessing you're on a F10 M5?
If you are, why would you wanna decrease your contact patch from OEM specs? Just go with 265/30 front and 295/25 or 305/25 rear. |

Old post that I am resurrecting:
I'm looking into replacing my old 265/30 21 tires, but this size is backordered. Would a 265/35 21 size work? According to a tire calculator I used, this give me an increase of 0.5" radius from the center, to the outer tire surface, if this is even true

Get the Vredestein Ultrac Vorti R. Should be readily available in 265/30 and 305/25.
