Sport Edition 235-45 x 18” wheels
Yokohama Advan Neova AD09 tires

Have you run something like this? If so, what was your experience ?

Thanks!
I'm running the Yokos AD09 on the track. Good tire. I would like to buy 18" wheels too but the price of tires for 18 and 19 are not much different.

Curious as well if anyone knows what to run without spacers.

M performance brakes? Really? Dimpled and grooved? Are you getting confused with M sport brakes?

Yea, my first BMW and I’m only going base off what I have read online. If you don’t mind, can you explain a little more?

M performance brakes are not a standard option, M sport brakes are.
M performance will have dimples and grooved discs and relieve you of about £3k.

Did anyone fit BBS CI-R Unlimited on G42?
There is a 8,5x19 ET26,5 Concav. 1 + 9,5x19 ET39 Concav. 1 that seems interesting

Just put a deposit down on a RWD M240i the dealer has coming in. The only thing I don't like about the build is it comes with the square all-season 225 setup. This honestly seems like it shouldn't even be an option on the RWD version. Doesn't seem like enough tire for a rwd car with 380 HP. Should I have these tires replaced immediately or are they not as bad as I'm assuming?

The wheels are 8" wide front and rear. I'm thinking 245/35R19 would be the size option without swapping to wider wheels? I'd probably go with a summer tire like Michelin PS4S or Conti Extreme Contact Sport.

I personally hate them. The tires are runflats are ride like logs.

On the xdrive version, I havent really had any issues with traction tho.

I see, Thank you! May I ask is there any differences in regards to the caliper?

On my spec sheet in the US, I have the M sport Brakes with Red Calipers. And just want to confirm is I can run 826M wheels with either a 255 or 265 square set up without interference.

255/35R18 Squared, Lowered with H&R Swift Springs | What spacers are you running?

Is there anyone running either 255/35R18 or 19s with H&R lowering springs? I’m looking to have my wheels flush with spacers, but I don’t know which sizes to get. I’ve seen the popular 12mm front and 15mm rear, but that seems obsessive for the front. Thanks!

I ended up getting 3mm spacers in the front, and 7mm spacers in the back.
Looks great.

Sorry if I missed it...is this at stock ride height or on lowering springs?

Holy crap 255 front and 295 rear! Thats amazing. I was so worried that we couldnt go much wider in the fronts without rubbing.

How is handling corners with 255 up front vs the 225 stock? Also do you spin off a dig at all with 295 in the rear?

Howdy!

I just picked up a used M240i xDrive that had all packages except the cooling and tire package and thus was also provided the 225 square runflats from Bridgestone on the 19x8 792 wheels. For what it's worth, the ride wasn't atrocious but I was VERY hesitant to send it around a corner in the hill country.

I went with 245/35/19 PS4S square setup for ease of maintenance on mine and everything fits fine and feels so much better. Following that, I wanted them to sit kinda flush and rolled the dice on 13mm front/10mm rear spacers after some light reading which were installed today. It sits really well now and really filled out the small space there in the front. I'll be taking it for a spin this weekend to see if there's any major performance findings but I doubt I would be able to notice anything wild.

Thanks!
I figured .. they took our engine/drivetrain. The least they can do is make a decent set of factory wheels we can use lol.
Really happy with how they turned out.

Initially I was concerned about the rears fitting but it was no problem. I think 295/30 in the rear and 255/35 front would fit without issues.
