18" 275 fitment on stock suspension M2

cme · 01-04-2017, 08:00 AM

Hi. I have a 2013 E92 M3 and run a set of Apex 19x9.5 ET:22 square setup with 275/35 Bridgestone RE-71R tires for the track. I ran a comparison on one of the wheel/tire sites and seems like both fr and rr will stick out 0.9" more than stock. Seems like an acceptable amount.

Anyone else try this setup? I would love to be able to swap track rims/tires between cars.

Thanks.

Just try em on . If you were at a store buying shoes, wouldn't you just put em on and see if they fit lol ?

@CosmosMpower may be able to help -

Agree that you should just take an afternoon and swap wheels. That's about a 1 beer job.

9.5 with a +22 offset will work for the front of the car, but is too aggressive for the rear by a substantial amount. You'll need a higher offset to get a good 9.5" wide wheel with 275 width tire on the rear.

Thanks for the heads-up. Can i use spacers out back with the set that I have. I think 15mm should do the trick??

I know I can try them on but I run winter tires for my M3 on the same rims. Just trying to get ahead of the game if I need to make major changes or get new rims.

A spacer will effectively lower your offset, not raise it. It's already sticking out too far, and a spacer will make it poke farther.
