Hi everyone, i would like to take your expert opinion on changing my OEM F32 44M2 wheels to the M4 Black wheels

The F32 oem are
Front axle: 8"J x 19" offset 36
Rear axle: 8.5"J x 19" offset 47

The 437M wheels are
Front 9JX19 ET:29
rear 10JX19 ET:40

Thank you.

Front will extend 20mm, and rear will extend 26mm.
Don't know if that's too much though.

Wow, for once, the M wheels look like an almost direct fit for the non-m cars.

I've seen people posting 9j x 20 30 offset and 10j x 20, 40 offset installed without any problems.

If you have a good relation with your SA, I suggest you go there and try them on to see the fit.
I know my SA would do it, just to see the looks it gives to the car...

Will work on a lowered car (as the camber will tuck them). On stock height they will be 10-15mm outside the fender.
My HRE where an identical fitment (look at my older threads).

Thanks for the reply guys. i saw these wheels on F30 and it looked damn cool. i am planning to select more conservative tires not the same as the stock M4, so for the front 245/35/19 and rear 265/30/19. i checked on tirerack.com and found these tires for BMW. will that make difference? do i still need spacers?

[335i_4D]

Since they are already limit on fitment, don't put spacer as things will get worse.

Spacer substract from the offset, so the wheel will stick out more.

[messiry]

No plan for spacers don't like them anyway,, I am planning front 245/35/19 and rear 265/30/19, will it rub on stock M sport suspensions?

[metrickid]

It will look silly on stock suspension. The wheels will be 10-15mm outside the fender. You need to lower the car.

235/35/20 and 275/30/20 would be better

245/35 is almost .5 inch taller than 265/30 IMO

It is not recommended to put 20" tires on 19" wheels...

the 235/35/20 will work too as the stock are 225/40/19 so it should be ok with no rub,, however i am not sure about the rear i am a bit worried that 275/30/20 will be aggressive thats the only reason i was checking the 265/30/20..

need to check on tire rack.com if its can be done.
thanks for the help

Link? What you probably saw were 20" M5 wheels (or knock-offs).


This has been covered numerous times.

[messiry]

i saw it parking nearby, don't have a photo sorry,,, and i am sure its 437M i had the M5 wheels, or actually i still do have them in my garage after selling my F10 however i couldn't find anyway to fit these M5 oem rims on my F32,, thats why when i saw these black rims on that car i was shocked, it looked really nice.

[messiry]

not sure if you guys saw this thread http://f30.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho....php?t=1020934
looks nice, and no rub.

[davegill]

Did anyone end up trying this? I would like to know how it worked out and see pictures.

[okuruca]

+1 I want to know if you ever pulled the trigger and how well it worked

[Labeef]

Stay tuned, I will have 513s to try on my 3 in the next couple days. I honestly think it will be okay at stock height and killer lowered.

[Labeef]

As promised.

This is my 437 setup. Haven't touched the suspension. I have 245/35/19 and 285/30/19 in the back. Michelin Pilot sport A/S tires.

[Labeef]

I ordered H&R Sport springs, hope I don't rub with a 255 on the front. Any one running H&R sports, x9 Et +29, with a 255?
