437m style 19x8.5 +35et 19x9.5+37et??
Looking for an exact answer here. I've got the factory optional 19 sport wheels now on my 2012 335i. there's a guy fairly local that has some of the replica 437m wheels I'm interested in. They are the following sizes. I'm trying to make sure these will work no issues and sit flush. I have not been able to find an exact answer on them. Within a couple mm yes but they doesn't always help. I am at stock height now so no issues with lowering
19x8.5 +35et 19x9.5 +37et I know these "should" work but I'm not the person to have my wheels not flush. With the oem 19s now they sit in just a hair in a since. So would this be the next best thing? I've saw a couple pics of close sizes but pics are really hard when it comes to doing justice. Thanks! These came off an 11 e90 Matt Last edited by 03redtype-s; 02-17-2016 at 02:47 PM.. |

Do a search on 437m in this forum & the gallery forum & you will find a lot of post with folks running the 437m replica wheels. The missing variable here is the tire sizes. Can't say for sure the fitment will be flush without knowing that but those rims & offsets will work nicely on the F30.

I would probably run the stock tire size that's on mine now or what's on there which would be the 255/35/19 I believe. So would stretch just a bit. The fronts will be fine from what I gather but the +37 is what I'm trying to figure out with pics showing this. Thanks for the reply!!!

437m reps thread You can also check out my thread for the OEM 437 & see the fitment your probably not looking for... My OEM 437M wheel thread I've become obsessed with this topic over the past month & i still go back & forth on my wheels.. some days i content to just wait till i need new tires.. some days i want to go buy new tires... both tires are new which complicates the matter for me. Remeber, your reps have different offsets.. a +37 will not be as concave as the +29 that im running.. which is also pushing it out. This should get you started but there are a lot more threads on this topic than the 2 i just provided. |

Now one other than his I haven't seen any cars of and that's the 351m. Great looking but I wasn't aware they made a set that was just 18x8.5 square with 33et. Does that work? Not as wide guessing it would?

Just saw above. I'm actually running OEM 437Ms.
wheels are 19x9 et29, 19x10 et40. They're wrapped in MPSS 235/35/19, 265/30/19 No rubbing issues and my f30 is sitting on H&R Sport springs. |

Hey Nick... My bad... On page 2 of your build thread, you had this statement "So far, I'm leaning towards a 19/8.5 19/9.5 setup. Some here have gone more aggressive. But it's up to personal preference I guess". No where else in your thread that I could find where you say the specs of your 437 which is why assumed you went reps. Check your thread btw, I asked a question about who you got to put a 235/35 on a 9" wide rim.. I can't find a tire shop here in Charlotte willing to do it. |

Blah! This is a tough decision! Both are a great looking set, with the 351m I'd have to do a new tire setup since my rear tires would in a sense be to wide for an 8.5. Would work I suppose but would look a little odd. But going with this 437 setup maybe the best. But then that 351 is such a very smooth great looking wheel on these!
