To be put on a Z4MC. I can see on here some have run very similar setups, so I know they’ll work but I’m now looking at tyres and not quite sure what to go for? I plan to lower the car 10mm rear & 20mm front but don’t want to be messing about with rolling the fenders to avoid rubbing. Any experts about to help?
I’m thinking at the moment to run 235/35 on the fronts, as this increases ride height 5mm so allows me to lower the 20mm. Hoping this won’t look stretched? 245/35 seems to be the general consensus but worried the extra diameter will mean rubbing?
On the rears I’m stuck between going 265/35 or 275/30? Leaning towards the 265/35, because I’m thinking the extra 5 between the 30 & 35 will be the difference between being crashy and bone shattering to moderately comfortable. Am I right in thinking this? Use the car as a daily so don’t want to ruin my experience in it.
Thanks in advance for any help/insight anyone’s able to give.

If you do 235/35 or 245/35 on the front, you should go with 265/30 or 275/30, respectively for the rear to make all of your rolling diameters to be almost the same. Having /35 on front and rear, but with the rear being wider means that the rear will have a larger overall rolling diameter than the front. Having too great of a difference between front and rear rolling diameters may put your traction/stability control in a frenzy
