Why is no one running 295/35/20 rear tire

[m5dream]

so i see everyone goes for 305 rear, but i dont like the skinny sidewall look of the 305, has anyone run 295/35? pics ? should it fit with a 10mm spacer?

I'd say *most* run 295/30 and some have done 305/30. I'd be worried that without changing the front to 255/40, the diameter difference of a 295/35 could freak out the ABS and/or traction control.

I have no idea if either would fit. Probably. I'd be most afraid about rubbing the front fender liner while turning.

I’m running 305 30 and don’t think the side wall is that small, I’ve included a pic for reference.

That actually looks nice

Got 305's on mine (no spacers) and wouldn't go back to 295's, you can feel the extra grip on take off

Your mp4s tyres are N0 Porsche rated?

I currently have the same tyres on rear and the one is rubbing somewhere in the inner? Its lowered on H&R but no spacers?

Is yours lowered? and no rubbing at all?
