Hi all, I'm hoping for some opinions and advice on a wheel set up. Currently I am on OEM 400M M sport wheels with a square set up. I have xdrive and want to move to a 19" wheel. I've seen some post with concerns that a staggered setup will damage the xdrive system but the 403m option is available from BMW with the staggered wheel/tire combo so I assume that's false. I would imagine keeping wheel and tire combo diameter as close to stock would be more important. I'm also stock ride height but possibly looking at H&R sport springs at some point.

Would the recommended set up be 19x8.5 Front and 19x9.5 rear? The company I am ordering through recommended 19x8.5 or 19x9 upfront on 245/35/19 then 19x10 in the rear on 275/30/19.

Unfortunately, the super deep concave's offset won't work with the F30 so deep concave is my only option. Should I go deep concave all the way around or semi concave upfront and deep concave in the rear?



This is a daily driver I am not trying to get too aggressive so comfort and reliability are not affected. I appreciate any feedback!

Thanks!

If you go with a 10" for the rear, I ABSOLUTELY recommend you go with a 9" front. A 245 will look a little wide on the 8.5" wheel, but will be perfect for the 9" width.

I wouldn't go 9/10 if I was on stock suspension since those offsets will be quite aggressive. You won't rub but the wheels might end up a tad outside the fender.
Unfortunately the wheels will be almost flat in a 8.5/9.5 setup.

8.5/9.5 by flat you mean less concave?

I'm running 19x8.5f et30 with 245/40/19 and 275/35/19r et42 on a x-drive lowered on H&R springs and so far no rubbing. This is on a F32 and don't know how different the F30 is.

What offset and tire sizes did you go with? Would you mind posting some pics on they're mounted?

Thanks! How's the ride and handling? What's the before and after like?

I have DHP and in comfort mode the ride is just as comfortable as stock but the car feels a lot more planted and no noticeable body roll. In sport mode the suspension is way stiffer than with stock springs. I mainly keep the car in sport mode but only choose drivetrain under the options. When I feel like doing some spirited driving then I choose drivetrain and suspension. I was going to go with lower profile tires but now glad I didn't as the tire profile I have fills in the wheel well nicely and goes with the H&R drop. Here is a link to my thread with lots of pics. If you have any questions feel free to PM me. http://www.f30post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=959695

Honestly I forgot. I went into Forgestar since they're local to me and had them fitted. I'll send them an email to get the specs.

Tires are still a variable too. I've worked out a deal with the shop I'm working with to use whatever fits. We're gonna try to squeeze 285s on this baby!

Do you think my e92 forgestar F14 will fit my upcoming F32 435 with M suspension:

F: 19x9.0 5x120 ET35
R: 19x10 5x120 ET28


Thanks.
