235/40/19 front, 265/35/19 rear if stock or lowered mildly 245/35/19 front, 285/30/19 if lowered mediumly this 437M thread is better, with many different tire size combinations https://f30.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1020367 . |

Update!
So I swapped my Eibach Pro Kit Springs with H&R Super Sport springs while still on the factory S001's. Aside from still being a bit stretched, I liked the look and feel of the car. But when my rear tires finally wore out, I decided to go to Pilot Sport 4S's and went up one size to 235/40 & 265/35. I didn't realize just how wide the Pilots were so now I'm getting a fair bit of rubbing in the front where i had NO rubbing with the factory S001's. It also changed the look (not liking it too much) so as soon as I can find someone getting rid of a good pair of 255/35 S001's (the fronts were still in good shape), I will be pulling the Pilots off and getting rid of them.
But I thought that I would post a few pics for people who are interested in the H&R Super Sports and/or the Pilots in a one-up size.

Just had my OEM 437s powder coated. Black base with 2x hyper-silver top coat.
Looking forward to summer.

Those look sick!! I'd always wondered how they would look powder coated. When it comes time to refinish my 437M's, now I know which direction I'm going...

I'd been looking for months and months for some used but not abused 437s. I found this set and bought them for 1500, then before I took my post down someone else reached out and had a set with tires for 1000. So I bought those too for a winter set. Sold the tires for 300. 2 sets in less than a week. LOL I'm getting the others done in triple bronze. I have a friend that does wheels for a living and hooks me up with a real good deal. I'll post those once he's done.

235/40/19+265/35/19 best size for x-drive, if stock or mildly lowered 245/35/19+285/30/19 best if medium to moderately lowered. |

Those look great! I'd love to see how the triple bronze looks, and I'm thinking about doing a dark bronze when I refinish my 640M wheels. My GC is black, so a dark bronze might look good and provide a different look than every other silver or black wheel on the road.

Seriously, those came out just F'ING SICK!! Now I'm REALLY giving serious thought to the Bronze. I've always thought the Bronze just looked so classy, especially on the White cars. It looks great and when you put those on, please post more pics!!

So as the weather is getting better here in Toronto, I have loaded my 437s couple of days ago and experiencing terrible tramlining.
My fronts are 245/35 and rears are 265/35. 1. What tire pressure are you running? 2. Are you experiencing tramlining or do I need an alignment? Thanks.

1) I'm running 34psi up front and 36 in back on 245/265 2) My experiences with tramline seem to indicate that it's more of a tire type and tread pattern that will increase or decrease it. I had a set of pilots back in 2002 that were crazy tramliners, then when I switched over to my winter setup it totally went away. I have pilot super sports on my 437s now and there is a small amount of tramlining and it was just aligned. What tires are you running and when is the last time it was aligned?
