2015 F30 335i M Sport - Stock Square setup?
My 2015 F30 335i M Sport comes with the 19" 403M staggered setup:
225/40r19 255/35r19 I'm entertaining the idea of going square and wondering what the stock square setup from the factory is for the M Sport model. According to what I found on Tirerack, stock square M Sport would be: 225/45r18 1) Can anyone confirm this? 2) Are there any differences in the suspension tuning from the factory between a square and staggered setup for an M Sport model? I prefer to stick with oem sizing and oem rims (they sure are heavy though...) to maintain the original "BMW tuning" of the vehicle. Reasons for going square: I'm probably comparing apples to oranges here, but after driving a 330i loaner with a square setup, I feel like that car is more nimble and eager to turn in/respond to steering inputs (i'm sure the smaller engine up front contributes to this too). My other reasons for considering a square setup: a) being able to rotate tires b) these 19" wheels (oem runflats) ride very harshly over potholes/manholes/non-perfect roads Last edited by ctbear; 01-28-2019 at 09:48 PM.. |

There's no difference in suspension tuning between wheel setups. And yes that would be the stock square size.
If you're worried about potholes and ride quality, consider going up to a 235/45-18 all around. |

That is not a stock bmw size is it? Would it be compatible to use tires of that sizing on bmw oem 18" rims with no modifications (ie. stretch)? |

245-45/18 will also fit onto stock 18" BMW wheels, but that may be noticable. |
