bfgoodrich rivals?

[m3z]

i have a set of te37sl (18x9.5+22 and 18x10.5+20) waiting for when i get delivery of my m3. im wondering if i could fit a 275/35 up front and a 295/35 in the rear? would these tires be too fat for the rims or will i get a nice meaty look? anyone have experience with these tires? i see alot of people running the rs3 in 265/35 an 285/35. i was hoping to get a little more meat under the m3 and was hoping to get some good info. thanks in advance

I'm running Yokohama AD08r on the stock 19" wheels with 275 front, 295 rear. I wish the stock wheels were 0.5" to 1" wider as that would be a better fit for the tires. However, the tires do fit and do seem to work well.

You might check the tire specs on tirerack.com, but based on my experience, you should be fine with 9.5" and 10.5" wheels.

I'm running Rivals on the rear and PSS on the front of my E93 M3. I thought this would be fine, but unless the Rivals are warmed up, they are quite greasy in comparison to the PSS on the front. Lots of tail-happy moments until they're warm, after which they seem to have comparable grip.

the rivals are only comparable to pss in grip when warm? they dont exceed the grip of the pss?
