I do think the new alloys look superb - not always keen on aftermarket wheels but they really do suit the imola M - very nice choice indeed!

You're becoming a bit of a wizard at maximising the look and finish of Zeds - impressive! :thumbsup:

Pretty sure the CSL uses 265 but 255 is OK on a 9.5J.

The M3 CS rear wheels are 9.5j with a standard 255 35 19 rear :wink: ( fronts 8j with 225 40 19 ) so only difference with the CSL ones is the offset & the narrower front .
There is no issue fitting a 255 35 tyre to a 9.5j at all & as my pics show there is no stretch

No specific reason why the rear can't be 255 35 though & especially so with a car where you ride over the back wheel

No certainly not...

Just saying the staggered CSL sizes are as above,with the CS running a narrower front wheel,the rear tyre width was dropped to compensate.

Indeed but even running 235 35 fronts on 8.5j a rear 255 35 (9.5j) is barely any difference in rolling diameter from a 265 30 so has little negative effect :driving: just saying :oops: :wink:

I also said originally that it's not an issue, just pulled you up on your facts as CSL is 265. :D

Are we chasing our tails here :D ive never stated CSLs run 255 35 rubber :? I did say that i fitted 255 35 to "wheels" that are the same numbers as CSLs :roll: as in widths /offsets

Nah , save that for the "///M Market Watch" thread :P We're just having a healthy wheel/tyre debate
You can play around with tyres up & down in sizes , in reality there is no definitive right or wrong even if the set up was OEM BMW , Merc , Audi or whoever .
Many times it increases comfort & makes the speedo more accurate . The E46 M3 CS set up is a strange one though as i can't recall any other BMW wheelset that has a 8j front with 9,5j rear :? The stagger is usually only 1j different as in 8j + 9j , 8.5j + 9.5j , 9j + 10j ? Experimental or just quirky 8)

A healthy debate is always good buddy as gives different ideas
Some on here not this post get annoying and pointless

I run oem csl 235 265 and looking at 275 for wider rear
But using 5mm spacers so will look to see if will fit now with spacers due to calipers?!??!?!?
