Hi Guys

I am currently running stock 18" 225/50/R18, and just picked up 19" 666m Wheels.
Wheels are 19x8.5" front, 19" x 9.5" rear.

Been having trouble figuring out the best tire size, as I don't want any xdrive issues with the '1% difference' and don't want rubbing. Suspension/springs are stock, and I was thing the following tire sizes

235/40/19 front and 265/35/19 on the rear.

Foresee any potential issues? Anything else I should be on lookout for or consider?

Will post pre and post photos once done, looking for some guidance. Photos of car, existing, and new wheels attached. Thanks !

Justin

U should be fine on the tire sizes u mentioned. Those wheels though, in my opinion, won't look as good unless ur lowered. That little extra drop makes a TON of difference aestheticaly.

Loving the upgrade. Not too many photos online of an F34 Mineral Grey on 666m's, hopefully this will encourage others to upgrade their wheels!

Had them mounted and aligned at Platts Performance in Jamesburg, NJ. Very nice guys.

How are your wheels holding up? Do you mind sharing the brand, or are they oem m666?

I’m looking at the VMR V801 in either the 18” or 19”. Ideally want 19’s and have been told I can go up .5 on the aspect ratio to give the rim a bit more protection.

But even still I’m hesitant and feel the 18’s will be the safer route with mediocre roads.

Looks great! Now just need a slight drop if you have good roads.
What offset are the front and rear wheels?
I have an F34 as well and everyone states that anything wider than an 9" rear wheel will rub - any rubbing?
