Posting this here for anyone searching, but put on my winter tire setup setup and it drives well.

- Nokian Hakkapeliitta R5s 275/35 19 square setup on a square wheel setup
- Stock front 19” 930M rims all around, I picked up a couple front rims in the classifieds section
- No spacer in the front (it will rub with a spacer if lowered like me)
- 10 mm spacer in the rear (no rubbing without it, just don't want it too tucked as I'm running a narrower rim and tire than stock)
- MP HAS lowering springs down almost the entire way (1 full turn up)
- Rims and tires are nicely tucked so they don't throw as much stuff down the side of the car

I didn’t realize you had the 9.5s in the back. That is a good idea.

You can run a 275 on the 20” rim…my old M3 had stock 19 inch rims front and rear so I could run a square tire set up, but obviously with the new staggered BMW rim diameters you would need dedicated tires for the front (19”) and rear (20”) rims.

Since I have a dedicated set of summer rims, I figured it was easier (and cheaper) to just run 19s all around for winter and picked up a set of front rims for the rear so I can run a true square set up, Without stretching the 275 on a 10 1/2 inch rim and have a slightly more compliant tire out back for winter frost heaves. I think this is the set up I should’ve had for the eight years I had my M3, although I never had a problem with that.
