I'm close to Toronto (4 hours?)! But I'm not selling the wheels anytime soon...

Are the M3/m4 equipped with just the 437m's in Canada?

12mm spacers rubbb! During big dips and more with people in the car and/or a full tank of gas. But it looks so good!

Does it rub without spacers?

I think the front does. But it's very little. Like once or twice a week.

[Conti.]

those wheels look great on your car! especially with the rear spacer. if you shave the inside lip off, pull it just slightly and decrease to a 10mm spacer you should be good. thats what i had to do in order to get 9.5 et 35 to fit with 255 and spacers. i had 12.5 and they rubbed bad. i did what i mentioned above and have no issues now. should be about the same poke as mine

Interested to hear how you are getting on with this set up?

I am considering buying some - but I would run 225/40/18 front and 255/35/18 rear.

I too have a LCI car, with wider rear track compared to pre-LCI..... I am also lowered 35mm front and 20mm rear.

Thoughts on clearance / fitment / rubbing issues with the above mentioned tyre combo?

[Wifeys335i]

I would go wider. I have oem set up and they are stretched. Next time I will go wider.

Any pictures of 225/40 & 255/35 on your 513M's?

I like meaty tires!

I think the perfect setup would be 235/40 (to avoid rubbing in the front) and 265/40 (Only because my rear tire looks skinnier than the front with 275/35)

[arciga18]

Gotta bump this thread.

Looking run a a square 9" setup (four fronts basically to not deal with any issues in the rear and be able to rotate)

I have a 2011 328i, stock sports suspension


What's the best tires size? Can I do 245/40/18 ?

Does a 235/40/18 tire fit on the 9" wheel?

[medicineman843]

Running

245/35-Zr19

275/30-zr19

Just bought brand new tires with a road hazard coverage on each. They were installed yesterday. And we're rubbing in the front fender wells. So we removed them exposing the front inner fender well. It looks as the previous owner lightly rolled the front and rear fenders.

This tire set is rubbing and starting to take little tire chucks from the side walls. What are my options....

I think 245/40/18 would fit best on a 9in wheel. 235 may have a slight stretch. But both should work out fine.

I like fat tires! So I went with 245.

Thanks!

I talked to one of the wheel vendors here because i needed to order the tpms from them. He felt good about the 245. He mentioned it might be a little tall but it will fit. Maybe this is what you mean by fat tire or "meaty tire".



He also mention the 235 or even 255 square could be done. Not ready for the whole camber plates/ rolling fenders deal so I think i'm sticking to the 245.

You can def fit 255 tire. but there would be rubbing issues. So 245 is perfect!

Question, How did you manage to find a square setup for the 513m's?

I'm going to order new from the dealer. Less expensive then having to purchase twoo sets on the forums and then trying to sell 4 rears.
