Thanks! It’s on ST-X coilovers, I did try to adjust them to almost the highest settings all around which is close to the sport springs.

Nope still running them and all good. I'm lowered on B14's though, with about 1/4 to 1/2 inch gap so I have some natural camber. Nothing crazy at all. No fender rolls and have not rubbed once.

Test fit my 437s from an M2 today 245/265

Major shoutouts to alohasurftoad for the countless of PMs that I have went through with him to go over tires spec for my xDrive with these wheels. I learned so much about the transfer case and diameter of tires from this man.

Another shoutout goes to FaRKle! for talking to me about bumpstops and spring rates etc. After playing around with cars and suspensions for 15 years or so I never thought bump stops were important.

Without these 2 guys I would've probably made major mistakes that would have been very costly!


There has been no issues so far, no rubbing on full lock turns going forward or in reverse. I did rub one time on stock suspension going straight over a speed bump, but if I go on an angle, theres no problems.

The ride is very close to what describes in his thread.

This turned out to be exactly what I was looking for and I felt like I owe it to this thread and to the members I mentioned above to post my pic.

Sorry for the dirty car, I need a detail badly!

F32, I just put the identical tire sizes on my 2020 440i Xdrive, I wanted to drop it a little and decided on the same springs you have: two questions, are you still having good luck with no rubbing (because the car looks awesome!) and why did you change bumpstops, is that totally necessary?

Here is how she looks before a slight drop:




Thanks!

Sure, Michelin PS4 front 235/40/19 rear 265/35/19

[xnick101]

Has anyone with an F30 tried 245/40 and 265/40 with these wheels? I really want to get a 40 sidewall for better ride quality. I know 245/35 and 265/35 confirmed fits with no issues.

what tire sizes are you using now?

245/40/19(26.7") at +29 offset will rub the fenderwell liner when you turn full lock.

265/40/19(27.3") is 1.3" more than oem diameter. it will rub the fenderwell liner under damper compression and heavier, taller(geared) tires will cause slower acceleration.

you could do 235/40(26.4") and 275/35(26.6") or 255/35(26") and 275/35, M3 and M4 oem tire sizes.

the best way to have more sidewall is to run 18" with appropriate tire sizes.

I am trying to purchase tires for my 437m wheels. I know a bunch of people have done that tire size with the 35 sidewall. But I don't know how close it really is.
