Tire question. Need professional advise or opinion

Hey all- looking for advice or professional opinions

Have some 21x 10.5 and 21 x 9.5 BC Forged rims and trying to decide tires.

I am leaning towards Michelin PS 4S tires but confused on front size as I see many running 2 different options

So I am going with 295/35 21 in rear

Fronts here is where looking for clarification

255/ 40 21 or 265/40 21

Thank you in advance for your assistances and hope I dont get flamed to hard for this. I have tried to search but didn’t find anything to assist me.

either option works. I would choose a 10" front if going with 265.

265 front. The 265/295 set is well proven on the stock 9.5f/10.5r wheels.

Just make sure your offsets are at least OEM or lower (pushed outward).

I don't think I've seen anyone running 10" rims on the front. 9.5" is what I think everyone on this board is running. The 265s will fit fine on the 9.5" rim plus you'll have a little more rim protection.

Technically though I think the 255 tire with the 295 rear is a little bit closer to the stock diameters with the rear having a slightly larger diameter than the front. If you go with the 265 PS4S in the front the front diameter will be slightly bigger than the rear (though still well within the 1% range considered safe)

I run 10" front with both 255 and 265

Is it possible to use 265 295 setup on stock 21 competition rims?

Rear stock is 10 flat. not 10.5 ?

Yes. Many folks have moved the stock rear 265/40/21 tires to the front and replaced the rears with a 295/35/21. The PS4S comes in that size.

Hey guys sorry if this thread isn't perfect for my post but obviously there are some people who know their shit on this thread....

I have a 2020 X4 MC F98

I am trying to order my Vossen wheels ASAP

Would everyone recommend the 22" by 9.5" front and the 22" by 11" rear?

I have 13mm spacers.

Do these fit my car? Are these the recommended front and rear widths? And what should I put on for tires?

I'm at your mercy guys! I appreciate your opinions.

Hey bimmerguy, I see you are ordering the same wheels I have on my car. These are forged wheels with customizable offsets, so you don’t need spacers. Either ask Vossen directly or buy through r33_RGSport and he will help you with the offsets.
