At a bit of a cross roads on where to go from here, so wondering what you guys are running out there? In particular kind of interested to hear from any of the M3 crowd to see what they can fit under their guards.
Currently have some 255/40R17's in an R spec rubber (so its really about 270mm ride) to go on the car, but kind of toying with the idea of going even wider to 275/40R17's on the rear. As I need to build the flares to fit everything properly, can't really decide on if I should go the M3 wide body route, or stick to building some flares. If you are kind of limited by just how wide you can go even on the M3 with their flared guards/quarters, then I guess that would rule that out anyway.
FYI, ive got some 17x9" ET20 wheels at the moment and im runninn a 15mm spacer with plenty of room to clear everything, so I have a lot to play with as inbound space goes so don't tell me they won't fit because I know they will already :) . If I step up to wider rears, I can get some 17x10.5's ET10 which will give me plenty of width for wider tyres on the back too. Might just try the 255/40's all round for a bit and go from there, but maybe make sure there is enough space for 275's under the rear which ever route I do go down.
