Currently I have 275 on front of my M6 (which is identical to M5) with no issue. Steering is a little heavier as expected but not that much to change anything.

Can 285/35/20 front with 315/30/20 toyo r88 set up be done on a 20x9 front 20x11 wheel set up?

Yes I believe so with the R888. I'm sure you can do a test fit and return of it doesn't work. Usually with discount or Firestone

Time for new rear tires again... Loving this car!

MCarsFan · 06-15-2016, 02:39 AM

Ordered first set of 315/30/20 Toyo R888s.
We will see how they perform. They'll last like 5 minutes!

MCarsFan · 06-16-2016, 12:32 AM

What you Recommend for fronts if running r888s rear?

I have 315 r888's rear and my Pirelli pzeros up front. Another good tire to run would be PSS. I gotta say, I've never felt traction like this on this car you're gonna love them.

Looks badass!!

MCarsFan · 06-17-2016, 10:01 PM

Thanks for the advice.. I've ordered up some PZeros for the fronts.

Wait, so you're going to put 315 on the stock 343m rears? Lemme know how that works out...do you run spacers?

I'm planning on a flash tune and am on stock pzeros and H&R drop...I was looking at the r888 too for traction...

Yes 315 R888 work on the 343M. Several guys doing it. Remember not all tires are made equally. 315 PSS will not fit.

I am running 305 PZero on mine.

Want to clarify for the large handful of people asking or wondering...

275/35/20 and 305/30/20 is a perfect working setup on the M5 343Ms if you go with the Michelin Pilot Super Sports. The fronts look and feel perfect and the rears look a little beefy but feel perfect. I've noticed no handling compromises. Some have talked about steering wheel heaviness but it's so marginally smaller than stock that it's negligible. Additionally, the traction improvement with the wider setup is noticeable. Not day and night, but certainly a big improvement from stock and sufficient for basic mods (i.e. <625whp)

Charlie Brown · 06-25-2016, 12:15 PM

I agree, if you are running MPSS however, if you want much better traction, go with stock size MPSC2.

I'm running 265/295 f/r on my stock 20" rims and they are fantastic. The stock size MPSC2s are a little wider than the same stock size MPSS. The MPSC2 look fantastic and I've had no worse performance in the rain than I did with MPSS.

MCarsFan · 06-25-2016, 05:11 PM

Went with 315/30/20 R888 Toyo Proxes on rear and A fresh set of PZero 265/35/20 on the front.
Loud but the traction is nuts. No wheel spin yet and I'm running over 680/680 whp/lbft tq.
If I get 4,000 miles out of them I'll be happy.

They're a good option vs SC2 or Corsas IMO

I've installed vredesteins on X5M on 22 lumma wheels and car became much much softer. I guess tires are very soft.
Can you please suggest on the size for F10 M5 with vredestien tires? 305 or 295 for the back better?
