Rear tires on 21s

I know most people run 305/25 21s which is what I have currently. I was wondering if anyone is running 325/30s ? I realize there's about an inch difference in diameter so wondering if it's even possible. Possibly even changing fronts to a 265/35?

Reason I'm asking is there's more choices in that size and a 30 sidewall would be nice for the roads here.

A lot of people have been running 325/25r21 which still has a slightly taller sidewall than your current 305. I doubt a 30 will work at all unless you cut down to 285/30r21 or maybe 295/30r21 but your front will need to be a 265/35r21 with those options.

How wide are your wheels and what offset? Based on that pic they look like 11" or 11.5" and around 20mm I think?

They are 21x11 30 offset I bought that were originally on a m5. I'm using 12mm spacers and running the 305/25. I was looking for the 325/25 however the choices are slim and the 4s are back ordered unfortunately.

I still have my stock 20s I may just use if I visit the track and put a good rear tire on it

With those spacers you'll be able to run 325/25 just fine, that is the same effective offset that I'm running

I still think if you want to run a 30 profile you'll need to go down a bit in width

FYSA, a 325/30/21 is far too tall for the M6 and it can cause significant damage to the ECU, Transmission, and Suspension.

I ran 265/35/21 on the fronts and it seemed ok. I don't remember getting any rubbing but it the tire was pretty darn close to the suspension. I ran 305/30 on the rears, so sorry I don't have any input on that.
