245/35/19 front & 275/35/19 rear on Bilstein B14’s coilovers, rwd. About a finger and a half gap, no signs of rubbing. Planning to eventually do 265/35/19 in the rear so I that I have the option to lower it more if I wanted to. Thanks to all with the helpful info on this thread!

Can we revive this, there must be loads of people who’ve since added 437m and this thread helped me loads in my decision to buy.

I’m on genuine 437m

Got a used set yesterday, OEM wheels on chunky 4x 255/35/19 winter tires (where on a M4 as a winter set previously) and fitted them today on a 430i xDrive with Adaptive M suspension. As soon as we did the front left and tried to to move the car slightly there was horrible metal to metal rubbing and to my horror I feel behind the wheel and realize there is no clearance between rim and strut. Removed the wheel and indeed both strut and inside rim lip showed scratching marks (not too deep thankfully). WTH did I do wrong and how could one even achieve that on a stock car? My only suspicion is that the combo of xDrive + adaptive suspension suffers from less rim-to-strut clearance? as in: thicker struts compared to passive suspension?! Is this a know combo to cause fitment issues that I just missed? Furthermore the original wheels have been sold already to partly finance the "new" 437s...I added some 12mm spacers that were laying around just to be mobile again but the poke is ridiculous, how should I address the issue long-term? KW coilovers? 3-5mm spacers? But most importantly I want to find out if I am the only one with a F32 xDrive&Adaptive that has ever had stut clashing with 437Ms

you are the only one....

at the moment, the only thing i can think of that could be causing the problem is using 19x10 ET40 rears up front, or they are replicas of too high an offset.

Correct!

I realized this while writing my post... the wheels are OEM but they are also obviously staggered but the fact they came with square size tires confused us when putting them on and we never checked the inside of them but only the amount of tread left.

I just took them off and realized we had fitted rears to the front and vice versa, with spacers nonetheless, such a stupid mistake...

We put every wheel where it should be and no strut clashing any more, no spacers needed either.
That been said, the fronts seems to rub on the inside of the arches ever so slightly when on full lock, I guess the 255 doesn't help but it's anyway temporary and will be switching to 235 as most people seem to run.

Looks better than what I thought. Waiting for H&R springs to drop it.

Hope you guys like it.

Looks awesome!

Great post.
