Perfectly fine on 15mm rear and not lowered. 15mm is a bit too aggressive upfront for my taste.

i'll be the one to ask the obvious dumb question here... isn't the point of the 265 rears to keep the real M car more tossable / rotatable? The m40i has a thicker rear (275) with 20inch plus wheels to prevent that as it caters to a different crowd?
You guys having awd launch issues or something?

Are you referring to the mid engine rear wheel drive 670 horsepower track car that has completely different weight distribution?

So what is the correct info then? I'm confused to where the actual "issue" is with this upgrade.

Otherwise, are people spinning tires on launch in a AWD tank SUV that weighs 4610 w only 510 hp? Or is the car too twitchy? I find both a tad bit hard to believe.

I run that size but in Mercedes spec. Discount did not have the full BMW specs at the time. Here's a rear pic no spacers on 892s.

I'm running the M01 (Mercedes spec) as well. If you're running the BMW spec, you're essentially using the front X5 M tires on the rear of your X3 M. And that technically is not a great idea. FWIW.

Just moved my winter setup to the 265/295 club.
Love it!

So yeah, looks may be a benefit, but I'll take improved grip all day long...especially once these things are tuned. The 265/295 setup still gives you that fun experience, but with more lateral grip and stability at speed. |

I drove an X3M COMP around PBIR and that was the last thought on my mind... an M2 Comp which is the twitchiest car BMW makes that has a lower TQ band and the same 265 rear tires doesn't get twitchy at 60 MPH lol... less TQ down low and a shorter body would make it squirrlier, a stronger top end at a higher speed won't... (not at this power / weight distribution). I could see the car being bouncy but that's just the crappy BMW adaptive suspension doing its work not the tires... but there is no way it's squirrely.
