Black wheels makes red bearable. Nice work.

As for the V12s, I cannot wait 'til mine are off. I'm oversteering every corner cuz I don't give a f***. They are quite durable, I'll give them that. My only experience at the track is on these tires; great practice I'm sure.

Agreed they are comfortable. Even on 19s. Moreso than the OEM 18" Contis.

Discovered this thread again. I was the last comment? Well I have another

I've been researching this exact EC-7 config. Curious if you feel 265 front 285 rear will fit.

That would be super aggressive. I love the idea !

With the right amount of camber you should be able to make it work . May get some rub on the fender liners however. With the 245/275 tires I currently have no rub so I don't think that is too far of a stretch. Others may say it's too far of a stretch.

Also, depending on how close you run to the front strut with the fatter tire you may need to throw front spacers on as well. I am sure you have already considered that though.

It's really going to depend on which 285 rear tire you plan to fit. A 285 in one brand/model will alot of times be different diameter/tread width/shape of the sidewall/etc then different brand/model.

For instance I can fit a 275/35/18 BFG Rival on the front of my coupe with not too much issue but when i tried to do that with a 275/35/18 Toyo R888 it was almost impossible. Same with the rear... my brother years ago used to run a set of 19' BBS Ch's with a 275/30/19 rear tire and they fit no issues on his coupe. He changed tires to a 275/30/19 Yoko AD-08 and we could not get them to fit at all. He had to get the rear fenders rolled and even then it still rubbed.

What tire are you thinking of running? Tire Rack is a great reference because they list all the detailed specs of the tires. If you have a reference tire (one you know that fits) you can compare the specs on that tire to the one you want to run and it will give you an idea of if it will fit or not.

I have those exact EC-7 offsets on my z4M . I'm running 265/35/18 F and 285/30/18 rear Michelin sport cups which run wide , I'm lowered on a motion control suspension with camber played no rubbing front or rear on track . Running -3,2 camber front , -2.2 rear . It's all about the camber whether it will fit .
