Most of the "Project Cars" from all of the tuners doing M6s seem to go with 11 inch width when they go up to 21s, im not sure if this is because of some calculation they arrived at or if its just preference but that 305/25 michelin is impossible to source. I was lucky enough to find a new pair for my upcoming set of 21s but now im wondering if a 12 on the rear would have been a better way to go. It sure would have been easier for me to source the tires.
I went with the 12 rears simply for the looks. I really wish Michelin would make 325 ties in 21s as I prefer the PSS to the P-Zero. Most seem to go 11 because they wish to keep the Michelins I believe or just aren't aware that they can in fact fit a wider barrel and tire.
