I have Advan Neova 08s on my car. Sorry.. I don't know the exact sizes but they are a little off of stock. Perhaps 10 mm wider front and rear. I picked them up from a friend for cheap because he didnt like them on his Z4M that had 19s installed. I will check for sure
What didn't he like about the AD08s, and what do you think? I understand they might have a less progressive breakaway than some of the other options, which is a pretty big downside.

It looks like Dinan ran the 275 / 295 combo on their 1m, +.5" rims, front offsets looks 4mm different. So good chance it might work, but it would probably depend on the particular tire's shoulder.

A 255 35 19 and 265 35 19 Pilot Sport Cup 2 setup might be another good option. It should fit, and it might help cure the understeer that often comes with stickier tires- better for the autocross. I'd guess they'd be quicker that 275/ 295 AD08r once they come up to temp (rarely a problem), but it's just a guess.

I do have the updated fender liners already.
