I thought so. I'm thinking to do the same with a 5mm spacer on the rear. Have you noticed any handling issues? I've been reading the 305 sidewall is a bit rounded on the 10" rim.

i have no spacers in the rear. 12mm in the front. Handling much better on these tires than the previous ones hands down. although im not drifting with the car and never ever drive without traction control unless you are in an area without anyone around you.

Thanks. I was trying to get a sense from you about how the 305's have impacted your cornering, if at all.

The higher speed cornering on my 305 PS4's feels a little wobbly to be honest. I think I will go back to 295's next time.

He asked for it then got it.

Good to know. I've been a bit concerned about that. Given we have 10" rims and the 305's call for 10.5", it is going to round the sidewalls some and take out some of the rigidity. I'm really wondering then how much extra tire is actually hitting the pavement out of the additional 10mm.

morrazbmw · 09-13-2019, 12:29 AM

I had be concerned about that too.

morrazbmw · 09-13-2019, 12:30 AM

You should go back to 295's next time.

I searched and waited about a year to find a manual in my price range. Picked this up recently. I am absolutely loving it. I had a 08 M5 a couple years ago. Definitely some aspects I liked in that one and some things I’m getting used to in this one. Turbo lag on the manual between gears is taking some serious getting used to. But I’m loving the extra horses and insane increase in torque.

Thank you! It is frozen bronze metallic. In the shade it gets quite a bit darker. Interior is nutmeg which is actually a bit darker than how these pics came out.

There are still nice combos to be had in a manual.

Congrats.
