Strange M310 question - front tire poke

OldFart · 02-08-2014, 10:59 AM

Before dropping the coin on a set of M310's, I looked at numerous threads to see how they look/fit. I seen the 2 following pics and that sealed me on buying them. Following other people that buy there same rims, it some cases they poke and others it's like the perfect fit.

I've noticed it seems those who have the base cars without the sport package the tires seem to poke a little bit, where others who do have the sport brakes the fitment is more what I am after. The first 2 pictures the car is also lowered, I will be on coilovers when everything is installed. Any method to my madness? Also, no offense to the gentleman who owns the MB pictured and looking thru posts, I don't believe the guy is using spacers.

The pics that got me to buy these...

The one that seems to poke a bit.

When the car is lowered the rims camber in a bit to diminish the poke.

What size and offsets are you looking to get?

That first picture also had me considering these rims. Are they they the silver or matte black?

Nothing out of the norm, have the rims already, just haven't bought the tires yet - tires will be 305/30's and 255/35's. Car won't be tracked at all.

19x9.5 +20 Front
19x11 +18 Rear

I get the camber in you mentioned about on lowered vehicles, just seems on the first two pics there isn't much of the tilt associated with camber and the tire is pretty flush with the fender.

If you haven't bought the tires yet, who's black car? Just a base you found? Base vs sport with no wheels is no different. Calipers aren't going to change the look.

Looks like negative camber to me. a few degrees is hard to see in a pic. Since that cars lowered over an inch easy! It's going to be -2.0+ easy.

From the few measure measurements I took at dealerships, there are about 20 mm (give or take) between the inside of the fender and the face of the wheel edge on a stock sport set up.

That means that the face of the 19x11 +18 Rear will be flush with the top of the fender. If you choose a tire wider then the rim obviously the tire will poke a bit.

From my calculation the front rim will stick out by 12 mm past the fender.

You'll be fine. I have the same wheel sizes and offsets, lowered on swifts. No poke.

That's the key. I was talking stock height.

Ok, I'll quit worrying about it.. Thanks guys....

Please post pics when you get them mounted. Per an online calc, the overall diameter difference between the 275/35 and a 305/30 is -1.19". Anyone run into issues running an inch smaller diameter in the rear?

Geoff-AU · 02-17-2019, 03:10 AM

As others have said, at stock height you'll get poke. Lowered, it seems to sit flush (just).

I want to keep standard height so I didn't go down the M310 / VMR V710 route although I love the look of them. You can get v710 fronts in ~33 offset as well but nobody can tell me if they clear the brakes or not so I guess it's stock wheels for me. I HATE poke.
