513M Wheels Max Tire Size *Pics* Square | Staggered

[streetmasters]

I've seen info scattered throughout the forums but nothing dedicated to the 513M (from searching) that lists actual tire sizes with helpful pictures.

It would be awesome if someone could post pictures of their OEM 513M set up with tire sizes.

Square set up's welcome as I am thinking about 18x10 square for track use.

I've read 285 | 35 | 18 is max for rear and 275 | 35 | 18 max for front?

I'f anyone has 265 | 40 | 18 with 285 | 35 | 18
Also looking to see what 265 | 35 | 18 and 275 | 35 | 18 looks like

Appreciate the help!

go to tire rack and see the specs on individual tires.

I understand Tire Rack lists OEM Sizes but many people have pushed the limits on fitment with the 513M. I'd like to see who is...

Have you discovered additional insight by exploring Tire Rack outside of their OEM boundaries?

285/30/18 works on all 4... I'm sure with the right offset 285/35/18 would work but I'm sure what that offset would be.

Square setups are only good on the F8x for... rotating tires on the track for even wear they didn't suffer from understeer like he E46 for example.

A better setup would be 275/35/18 and 305/35/18 on Apex wheels.

Beast set up and doesn't look at all out of place.

Are you experiencing any rubbing?

Thanks for the pic!

Absolutely no rubbing at all in any conditions. Suspension is stock. Bear in mind that the car sits about 15mm lower due to the smaller wheel diameter, but that doesn't really matter on the track.

Perfect. I'm not going to be running R Comps this year but definitely want to go square with some good contact. 285 is good for me!
