Ready to buy some Michelin's PSS

2011 Z4 E89, 296 wheels
All stock, no mods to anything other than the antenna.


I have read so many threads on tires the last couple of weeks, I'm starting to get confused on what will work and what will not work. I have reviewed the chart on the wheel & tire forum as well. This is what I want to do and I would like to know if it will work.

Michelin Pilot Super Sport

Front: 235/35/19
Rear: 275/30/19


These are the tires I would like to run. Whatever tires go on, I want to put them on without shims or spacers. No rubbing anywhere.

I like the rear tire to have a wide footprint when seen from the rear and I think this one will do it.

I would like to hear from those of you that are actually running these or maybe you had them in the past.

Thanks for the help.

I run this tire setup on Avant Garde M310 wheels and no rubbing. I am also running KWv3 coilovers and my car is lower probably an inch lower than stock.

Unless those wheels have the same offset as stock and your alignment is same as stock that isn't an apples to apples for the OP though

OP I've wondered the same thing and my take away from reading threads is that on the stock wheels and alignment 265 rear is the way to go if you want to be sure there isn't rub.

Please let me know what you end up doing!

Sorry, I also called tire rack which was very helpful. Give it a shot to double check.

I'm running 275/30/19 on stock 296 wheels without issue. There's no rubbing however you will lose the ultraslim sidewall look. The sidewall will be .24 inches taller compared to stock.
