you are gonna get destroy by lobuxracer since i believe he doesn't think 235/265 combo is ideal for the car even though that's what bmw uses on the 2008 M3 lol

either way it looks good man, i am pretty sure is even gonna look better with the 245/275 setup

currently looking my self to run either a 245/275, 255/275 or 255/285

Haha....the stock wheels were 19x8 and 19x9 so to me the 235/265 tires looked flush with the rim. My Gram Lights are 8.5 and 9.5, so a 245/275 would look better.

Nope. His car, his issues, not what I would run. That's all I have to say.

Lems Japan sells them, but you won't like the prices.

In regard to the M3 vs IS F tire sizes. stock for stock, I believe the M3 was the 1/2 in wider (19x8.5, 19x9.5). Lexus later changed its stock wheel sizing to match that, yet it still kept the same tire sizes . But, there was some feedback in regards to running 265/30, it caused a detriment rather than an improvement in performance. Yes, it is the next logical step in choosing plus sized tires, but with so many going to the 275 or even 285 sizes, it is undoubtedly much better for the car. I have seen 265s in action, and while they're wider, albeit 10mm, it simply didn't perform as expected in comparison to the stock 255/35 or even 275/30
