HPP Tuning, pm me and i'll give you the email of the person.

Also, I'm going to sell the two upper CF pieces without the long piece since I stupidly cracked this past weekend. The other ones are fine tho.

If you want to buy from the guy PM me.

Guys,

I have a 335d xdrive and I had a set of 437s put on today.
Originally the car was on standard 225/40/19 and 255/35/19.
To stay within the tolerance I did fit 235/40/19 and 265/35/19
The car sits on h&r springs.
I just had a drive around. There's a weird nose coming out of front wheels at full lock. I've checked, nothing is rubbing. It's more like a medium pitch squeak, if that makes sense. I wonder if this could potentially have something too do with xdrive system? Wheels look great but the whole thing starts to piss me off if I'm honest.
I haven't heard the noise before I swapped the wheels.

Any suggestions?
Thanks

Is it possible the tire installer messed up brake sensor? Not sure is that's possible but those squelch.

H&R fitted to mine today - no rubbing with 245/35 & 265/35 MPSS - very happy with how it turned out to be honest as I was worried about reverse rake!

I’ve got a new set of best summer performance tires available this size been in my garage at Florida house for 6 months that I’ll let go cheap.

Still have alignment paint on tread.

Pm me.

Perfect for 437m as shown in @kevinjt pics above

http://f30.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho...php?p=22962595

These are the impossible to find in USA Top Rated for 3 years in a row Conti SportsContact 6, fwiw. Again, you can see fitment on 437m from kevinjt photos above.

I only mention it here as these are unique for 437m on F3x vehicles.

Last time I will mention in this thread.

Others will know better. XDrive needs to be within 1% front and back.

Here is a chart for you. A 235/265 should be within that and should be fine. Look elsewhere I would say.

Nice thread Im learning a lot here.. question I just bough OEM 437m wheels and looking to m ount onto my F36 GC Rwd. I went to pick out some tires and the rep told me I needed to stay with a tire that is 26in in diameter or it will throw a code ? I’ve ready and seen many post people here are running all sorts of different sizes and no mention of troubles. Is this total BS any info on this ? I would like to run 245/35 and 265/35

They are incorrect if your car is RWD.

I am running 245/35 & 265/35 on a RWD F31 without issue

The tire sizes in post #248 are for XDRIVE and to stay in a 1% difference.

I believe R99 is correct, there is no such issue with non xdrive. you can do whatever fits, and I would think that the 245/265 would be a very good combo to reduce some understeer too.

okay great thank you for the feedback. Question.. Why do I see some people running smaller size in the rear ? for example 245/35/19 and 265/30/19 ? is that due to aesthetics ?

Not sure why people opt for a 30 profile rear to be honest.

There is no need as 265/35 MPSS has plenty of clearance. Even under suspension compression!

I'm driving a G36 430d and want to buy some M437.
There will be no problems, if I buy them in 245/35 and 265/35?

Put these on today. OEM specs and 255/275 Continental tires. fronts are a bit big but no rubbing issues, planning on eventually swapping them out to 245/35 and maybe 265/35 rears...

He had two sets, silver ones on car, black/silver ones without tires installed... So we tried silvers from his car to see the fitment of stock m4 tires.

Here is the process:

First fitment test with stock m4 tires (275 rears, 255 fronts) they were both sticking out, I drove around the block, it did no scrape BUT it is guaranteed that they would.. See Pics...


I ended up purchasing black/machined faced ones, put my stock tires from style 403M....
Fronts 225/35/19
Rears 255/40/19
Both tires looks slightly stretched... Also rears look like they might scrape if I had 5 people in the car.. But I drove up to CT from NYwith them, trunk had two large jacks, and I had 403M rims inside, even tho it had some weight with those, it did not scrape!!!

I have to test and see if it would scrape if I have 5 people in there.. IF IT does I will trade rears for two fronts and do a square setup... I will keep everyone update.

And sorry for the iphone pics. I will take more when we get sun come back out

I run a 245/35 and 275/30 MS 4S NON RFT tire and I don't have any complaints about the ride.

I chose this because the side wall on the run flat is very hard which gives a nice quick steering response. I felt that going to a NON RFT 4S tire would be a softer ride (and it is), but going with a 35 series / 30 series would be better for steering response than a 40/35 series non run flat.

I've been shopping for 437M replicas for a while and want the gray/machined version rather than the black. So far all I have been able to find is 35/35 or 35/37 offsets on the 8.5/9.5 stagger sets. I'm thinking ET40 would be better in the rear for me as I am not going to have much camber to keep the top of the wheel/tire flush under the fender. I'm not a fan when they poke out too far. I am on stock xDrive suspension currently, but have ACS springs I will be installing soon (whenever I get unlazy).

However, today I noticed on eBay there is a UK vendor with a 38/40 offset offering. With shipping costs they do cost a bit more, but I'm willing to pay a bit more for a better fitting wheel. Anyone have thoughts on these? I will be using 235/40/19 and 265/35/19 tires most likely.
