Unless you opted for the summer option w/ and M-Sport, all F30's come from the factory with a square setup; so codes should not be an issue. My F30 Sportline has 225/45-18's on all four corners.

I would go with 34, but that is still not aggressive enough for the rear if you ask me.
8.5 with an ET around 25-30 would look good both from and rear. But no matter what you choose with a square setup on the F30 the front wil be more aggressive. 8.5 ET25 is about the same up front as 1013mm has on his HRE's. So quite aggressive... 8.5 ET25 equals a 9.5 ET38 in the back which all the M5 reps are running. Last edited by metrickid; 02-21-2013 at 10:50 AM.. |

I'm getting that, for the rear, a set of 5mm or 10mm for the rear is needed to achieve a more aggressive look... Am I correct so far? Last edited by lmaleke; 02-22-2013 at 03:17 AM.. |

Yes, an 8.5" ET35-ish would be great up front and perfect with a 5-10mm spacer in the back.
If you want the front to be more aggressive just add a 5mm spacer. I'm running 9" ET30 up front but that is too aggressive if you don't lower the car (in my opinion, but perfect with a low drop). |

I think 20x8.5 et35 all around would be nice. Slightly more aggressive than stock and should clear brakes and structs. Also suitable for lowering to any extent without rubbing if using BMW recommended tire sizes.

doujeh ks200906I was thinking a square set up either with 235/35-20 or 245/35-20. Either would be ok I assume? Interestingly the latter size has more brand to choose from than the former, I don't understand on why...

If going for a square setup, a lot of brand only offer 8.5 et35 that would fit all 4 corners on F30.
If going staggered, you can go wider at rear with different offset. |
