What did you do for your M3 today?

[Tbonem3]

My next wheelset is likely to be the same Casa Casa de Mesa , albeit et22 on the front - did you run 265s? Did DSC get cranky? Thanks

Thanks for this. So you're longer running the LMs?

I ask because I'm currently running Apex and strongly considering switching to 19" LMs or 18" E88s once I get past some of the other projects I have lined up. My wheels specs are:
18x9.5" ET35
18x10" ET25

This is about as aggressive as I want to go for a street car. With this setup I can get by with -1.5° front and -1.75° rear with no rubbing at all.

The LMs are long gone but I am getting another set. Every time I think the fitment is a bit dated I pull up pics of them and I feel bbs got it almost exactly right.

There are times I wish the front and rear were a tiny bit more aggressive and then there are times where I'm just not a fitment nazi because there is nothing to be gained unless you're a stanceboi trying to flex for the gram.

I'm partial to 19s for LMs and I particular like the 19x9et27. First perfect, no rub without the need for excessive camber. 19x10et25 on the rear. I currently run 19x9 et28 and 19x10 et25 ARC-8s

Sooo... first set of tires I ran 255/35F (25.0" diameter) and 275/35R (25.6") Michelin PSS on the recommendation from Apex (size, not the brand/model of tire). I listened, and despite it being a 2.34% difference F/R, DSC didn't get cranky hardly ever. I really had to be pushing the car before it did. But to be honest, I run with DSC off most of the time so YMMV.

Due to a national back-order earlier this year on a 275/35 Michelin PS4S, I went with a 255/40 (26.0" diameter) and 285/35 (25.9"). That's a 0.39% difference F/R and the car is super happy. It's nearly identical to the factory 19" that came with the car (26.1"F and 26.0"R).

However, I don't like how the car looks. And the 285s... they're just too big. It's not an ideal setup, but I was pressed for time and was going on a rally and needed tires.

I am running lower tire pressures than most people on the forum would (27 R, 29 F) but in that size and that tire, that's all the pressure required to support the load of the car. It rides great.

LOL stanceboi

I personally like a slightly fatter tire in the front on these cars. Trams a bit more, but with modest toe in, the turn in still feels incredible (for me).

Agree.

I will say that it's a great handling and riding setup though.

These are good show car fitments.

Correct.. but definitely not stanceboi fitments. I think its just right. Autocouture told me I should be ready to go by Feb 2022. Hopefully I can have my subframe and Ohlins done by then.

Filled her up with Shell V-Power (and Stabil), a fresh oil change with Liqui-Moly 10W-60 with Liqui-Moly MoS2 additive, and the final wash of the season:
