Can I fit Style 37 on E92 M3 Competition?

rhyary · 01-02-2016, 09:59 AM

I have NIB 1995 E34 Forged M Parallel. I want to use them with 245/40/18 front and 295x35x18 rear. The rev per mile will be the same as OEM Style 359.
Will it work?

Front is 18 x 8 ET 20
Rear is 18" x 9 ET 22

TIA

Is a 295/35 able to be fit on a 9" wide wheel? It seems like that would be outside of what manufactures say are the width range and would be very squeezed. Even on a 10" wheel a 295 is normally kind of squeezed so people normally run a 10.5" or 11"

You are right 9.5" is the minimum width.

275/35/18 is 780 rev per miles vs 790 stock.
Is this significant?
Will 275 fit?

i've always liked those wheels, but they are too skinny to run on the m3. they are too skinny for even the oem tires and the car will handle sloppy. it can work if you don't mind it being a little sloppy (granted that they fit).

On the track I understand sloppy, but then again I have the 359s and I can make them the track wheels.
On the street it can translate for a better ride, and on non-perfect roads even better traction.

265/40/18 is a perfect rev per mile fit: 790
275/40/18 is a bit over by 3% : 814
275/35/18 is a bit under by 1.2% : 780

If anyone has experience with these combination...your input is welcomed
