21' wheel & tyre question... again;-) 295 vs 305
Hi all,
Got a set of BBS RX2 in 21 front et23, 9j rear et28, 10.5j At the same time as sorting out the wheels, I will install KW HAS, so I am trying to avoid any issues before spending money on mps4s. I know there is millions of threads around tyre/wheel combo but I don't seem to be able to find a definitive answer for me. I am thinking of going 265 30 front and 305 25 at the back but I can see straight away that front will have to get around 7-10mm spacer because of the brake caliper. I don't expect the rear to be a big problem in terms of caliper clearance but maybe someone could let me know if I would be better of running 295 or 305 with this rim setup and KW HAS on as well. "Will they fit" says using 305 will up a little tyre height (6mm) which is great because I worry a little about potholes and the condition of UK roads all together. Don't want to play with camber or see any rubbing. Any thoughts? Thanks |

Could you reveal the manufacturer and specs of these wheels? Furthermore, do you have reference values of the HAS settings? Thanks a lot! Best regards Steve |

IIRC they were 21 x 9.5 and 21 x 11. Wheels were bespoke so fitment was perfect. Unsure of offsets as they were not revealed. I don't recall the KW settings tbh as I moved on to a 19 M5 Comp almost a year ago.

I liked DCT on the F10 M5 but the ZF8 on the F90 is also very good and a must to handle AWD. Here are some pix of the F90 .. on 21" Velos wheels.
