IND F80 M3 / F82 M4 wheel fitment compilation thread
Featured on BIMMERPOST.com IND Distribution has been dedicated to the BMW M car since the company’s inception, and through nearly a decade of commitment have done everything possible to learn the secrets of BMW M to a science. We have explored every aspect of BMW’s marvelously engineered machines, and work tirelessly to ensure that our client base is always at the forefront of available information. Today, we are proud to announce that in cooperation with BBS North America and Falken Tire we have made the first critical steps to understanding the M3/M4’s wheel well packaging, and in turn the available space we can use to install wider wheels and tires. While IND specializes in custom tailoring widths and offsets specifically to the client, this document will provide some good basic guidelines for what we've found works, and what does not. IND will work directly with BBS to develop custom width and offset wheels for the M3 and M4 in the near future, so please keep in mind that what you see here were existing applications and installed on the F80 for testing purposes only. For those who have not been introduced to the BBS brand, please have a look at our photo tour of both the main German BBS manufacturing facility, as well as the more elusive tour of the German headquarters of BBS Motorsport: http://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=917761 http://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=914945 BBS has been responsible for creating some of the best road and racing wheels in the world, and have contributed more to the modern racing wheel than any other wheel manufacturer. We can think of no better company to partner with, for this or any other project. With all of this said, we are happy to present our findings to the M3/M4 community! Late last night, one of the first F80 M3s in our area rumbled its way into our warehouse for the first ever test fit of performance wheels on this chassis. After several hours of measuring wheel well clearance, damper position, and the shape and packaging of the car’s brake system, we were finally ready to move on to the good stuff- actually test fitting wheels! A few basic cliff notes are in order, before we get into the details of our findings:
The M3, with IND's custom painted engine cover. Installing our Macht Schnell stud conversion kit. Measuring maximum caliper diameter. Our test subjects for the night. The BBS RE wheels, mounted on our client's F80 M3. These were a good fit in front when spaced to a +27 offset, and just a touch too flush in the rear, at a +30 offset. Wheel fitment close ups of the BBS RE wheels. You can see that the 9.5" wide wheel works perfectly with a +27 offset, but the 10.5" wide wheel should be just a touch higher offset for a great fit. The BBS FI wheels. At a 9.5" front width with a +26 offset, the front FI fit nearly perfectly. The 10.5" +28 rear wheel was too aggressive. Front brake clearance shots of the 19" BBS CH-R wheels. Plenty of space! Front and rear brake clearance shot of the 18" BBS FI wheels, again showing available space. We will continue to update this thread as we learn more about these amazing new machines. All of us at IND are absolutely thrilled to begin to study, analyze, and develop the M3 and M4 to their fullest potential.

Looks gorgeous Ilia. Any pictures of LM-R's on the car? Those are some of my favorite BBS wheels. Thanks for sharing!

Ilia, by how much was the 20" FI too agressive? Did it poke?
Since a 10,5 ET 35 would be perfect, I can't really imagine those 7mm being that big of an issue? |

Will the front 9.5 wheels with +22 offset be okay?
I ordered 9.5 +22 front and +35 10.5 rear. Still didn't decide about the tire size. The CUP2 doesn't have the 275/30 size, so if I go with 295/30 rear wheat should I install at the front? Will thw 265?35 be okay? Or I'd better use the stock wheel size? Tnx.

Contaminants splashed on the inboard brake plate of the disc are a source of brake roughness, which drives warranty claims for the manufacturer. The presence of the shield helps this a lot. Of course it's not what you want for heat dissipation, but these are road cars first and track cars second. |

Agreed, I will never grow tired of LMs. I'll find a set to test fit ASAP!

Thanks for posting this. Dang, it looks like my 19" Forgeline GA1Rs might be too aggressive with the 275/30r19 / 295/30r19 AD08Rs. (I have 19x10 et 25/19x11 et31)

How will the wheel fitment be when it's lowered, will the wheels camper in like on the f10?
