Need some wheel/tire size advice

[Dave2013M3]

That is correct.... unless I go with a 275/40/19 tire....

With the 2024's the fitment is a tad different than the S550's. If you ever consider lowring the car you may have issues with a 27.7" tall tire.

Wow... such spirited conversation... Let me see if I can clear up any confusion...
The wheels that came with the car are just OK. I looking to upgrade my wheels to a more aggressive look and a little bit wider foot print. The car will not be tracked at any time. My car is a GT Premium 401a package. No PP. I've been looking at the Savini Black Di Forza BM14 Machined Black wheels in 19x9.5 ( BM14 Machined Black - Savini Wheels ). The next size up is the 19x10.5, but I am told that size might cause some fitment issues and I don't want to go with 20" wheels. I want to do a square setup, not staggered as I don't want to have to buy 2 different tire sizes. As for the tires, I haven't decided yet, but I have always like the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric A/S. I'm looking at 275/35/19 for the tire size but wanted to get some advice/opinions from you guys since some of you have already done what I'm about to do and I just wanted to see what you guys did and see what issues, if any there would be. As always, your feedback/opinions are welcomed. Thanks guys!

I didnt realize the 401a option cars came with 255’s. Ours came with 265’s but maybe we got an option for bigger wheels and a wider tire. I’d have to look at our sheet.

Edit…. Never mind it was an option with our car. Happy to see this thread as wheels and tire fitment have never been easy for me to understand. This will be a good reference for others to see in the future

I'm looking to upgrade my current setup which is the silver wheels that come on the GT Premium (see picture of my car to the left) I'm looking to get a little bit wider stance. I'm looking at either a 19x9.5 or 19x10.5 wheel with a square setup, not a staggered setup. Which one would fit better and not have to worry about any issues like rubbing. What would be the best over all tire size? I was thinking 275 all the way around or is that too big would 265 be better. Keep in mind that I don't want to make the car look weird but do want a more aggressive stance without changing the handling or drive characteristics. Your advice would be greatly appreciated.

Dark Horse performance pack comes with 305s on the front and 315s on the back on 10 and 10.5 I think
