Gooner,
We do not have access to any Nitto tires at this time, we only offer the tires that are listed on the deal. We would recommend the following fitment for your M3:
Front: 18x10" ET25 - 275/35-18
Rear 18x11" ET44 - 305/35-18
- 5mm front spacers may be required for certain aftermarket suspensions, see below.
- May require rolled rear fenders to prevent rubbing.
- Many drivers remove the rear fender liners to avoid contact.
- 295/35-18 rear tires may also be used.
- This is the most aggressive staggered fitment out of the lineup, and would typically be reserved for either a serious track/race car or a car with a substantial bump in power (supercharged / stroker). The drivers goal is to maximize wheel and tire width under the front and rear fenders, and enthusiasts running slicks may even opt for a 10.5" front wheel for superior sidewall support. We recommend 12mm or 15mm spacers to clear the subframe, however the spacer requirement varies due to differences in tire brand and alignment settings from car to car. Using these spacers results in an effective offset of ET32 (with 12mm spacers) or ET29 (with 15mm spacers). These higher offsets provide greater fender clearance compared to our 18x11" ET25.
- Even with spacers, the rear tires may still make contact with the subframe under full droop, such as on a lift.
- The front tires may lightly scrub the inner fender liners at full lock or at particular steering angles, and most of the time things will "self clear" over time (a little divot will form in the plastic liner). This is considered par for the course with wider wheels and tires, and enthusiasts shouldn't worry as no major damage will come from this.
I hope this helped!
- Max
