I am not sure if I should get

or
19x10 +25 / 19x11+44

Ive seen some with square setup too.

The car is currently lowered on springs -1.4" front and -1.4" rear. As you can see from the pic the front sits higher than the rear. I dont plan on tracking the car, I would like a flush setup and maybe eliminate the front gap as well.

What tires would you recommend ? Thanks !



Hey there, thanks for the question and nice car you have there! If you haven't yet taken a look, I would recommend reading through our fitment guide linked below:

APEX F8X M3/M4 Wheel and Tire Fitment Guide


The 19x10.5" ET22 will be a bit too aggressive in back as that is better suited to the E9X M3 chassis. If you wanted to go with a 9.5 front and 10.5 rear, I would recommend the following:

F: 19x9.5" ET22 with a 265/30-19 or 265/35-19
R: 19x10.5" ET45 with a 295/30-19

For most applications however, we tend to recommend stepping up to the 10"/11" fitment:

F: 19x10" ET25 with 275/30-19
R: 19x11" ET44 with 305/30-19

With stock suspension and alignment or just lowering springs, that above fitment is a direct fit. The only time you will have an issue is when running coilovers that decrease front inner clearance such as KW variants, Bilstein PSS10/B16, Ohlins R&T, etc.

Let me know if you have any questions!
