Hey guys , any input is appreciated I think I've decided to go VMR 710's and upgrade to 19's instead of 18's.

2010 135I M-Sport


19" V710
225/35/19 Front tires
255/30/19 Rear tires

Can I go that big in the back without rubbing? Also I'm in Texas, it never rains and the roads are pretty good here in Austin. Any suggestion as far as tires with this setup. Thank you for any help guys.

Nice! I'm looking to go with the same tire sizes. Are the tires flush with the fender? Hard to tell with your current pic. Could you share any more photos?

Notes:
No rubbing at any corner yet (200 miles on tires, including with a passenger over bumps/dips). Was a little concerned about the squared off shoulder of the tires but haven't had any issues.

I tried to post more pics with more detail the first time
but it only let me post 1 pic!
I will try resizing them and try again.
Like your wheels!!
They were on my short list of options,
I thought the red stripe would look good with my red interior.

Nice square fitment. Those 235s look great all around.

Rear. 255/35/18
Front. 225/40/18
Perfect with no rubbing.

Has anyone sucesfully run the Avant 359's?

I have a 2012 M Sport. I ran the numbers and it looks like with the wheels stick out .7 further in the rear and .9 further in the front.

What is the amount of wiggle room you have from the stock tires?

Forgot to update after my tire change. I went from 245 D1 Star Specs to 245 PSS. I no longer rub on factory suspension, so that's a big plus.

Wheels are 17x8 ET 40 OZ Ultras
Tires are 245/40 R17 PSS all around.

And everything fits great!

Hey guys I'm new to the forum and I'm picking up a 2011 135i M-sport on Saturday.

I had a few general fitment questions and I would really appreciate some help.

Whats the widest 18" wheel I can run? It's on stock suspension now but I will be ordering coilovers immediately after purchasing.

Also, would I be better off just getting lowering springs?

I'm wanting a wheel similar to CCW LM20. Is there anything with a similar style that is cheaper and light? It will be a summer car with the occasional autox day

Final question, what is the best tire to run? Michelin PSS? or is there something stickier?


Thanks so much for any information you can provide

Stock suspension and fenders. Some minor rubbing when hitting big dips at speed probably just need my fenders rolled.

After reading about all the different sizes, offsets, etc. I wanted to go with what I though would be a good fit for my daily. Didn't want to experiment with spacers, rubbing, etc. Everything fits well, ride quality is great and no rubbing or problems of any kind.

Breyton BE GTF2s (wanted something different)
Front and Rear; 18 x 8, et45

Bridgestone Potenza RE760s
Square: 225/40/18 (next time around, probably 235s)

Swift springs with Koni Yellows
