I would assume so, in the case that it is the 295/35/18 will have no issues.

The tire will be very square on the 10" wheel, but it will fit without spacers. Should be very flush, if you're looking for a very aggressive look you can run MAX 10mm spacer.

I have a picture somewhere with the set up, I just have to do some digging.

Thanks Justin. I ultimately ended up going with a 285/40 rear tire for my 18's over the 295/35 as I thought the fitment would be better (the 285 is made for a 10" wheel) but I know a lot of people, particularly those with the 437m wheels, run a 295 rear without issue.

Question for everyone. Which tire would you guys recommend for quite ness. For the 513m.

[Ohstalum]

I really dig those 513m 18s! With the right tire, it just pops to me.

Installed some TE37s, thanks to all of the people that posted in this thread and shared their sizes.





TE37SL
18x9.5 +22 F
275/35/18 Toyo R888R

18x11 +34 R
305/35/18 Toyo R888

Lowered on Swift Spec R springs.

No alignment adjustments since it was stock. The rear 305s touch the inner plastics under full compression. A little negative camber should fix it but it doesn't bother me enough to do anything about it right now.

Wondering if the following will fit a f80 without too much trouble;
18x9.5 +22
18x10.5 +27

Ideally I don't want to run less than a 285 on the rear

I've run an 18X10.5 ET25 with a 285/35/18 and it was tight but no rub in my old F80.

I have to be honest though, it took some time to figure it all out. First, I have no spacers in the rear. The F8X has more room for a wider wheel more inward, deeper inside the wheel wells. So, the further in you go, the better off you are fitting a wider tire. Your offset is very important, too. I'm using the stock 18s, since they are technically the lightest wheels you can fit on the car while clearing the brakes. The front is the tricky part. I got a racing alignment all around, so I have a bit more negative camber in the front and rear. Then I had to align the car a few times to get it perfect, and now, I have no rubbing whatsoever. Under any circumstance....super-hard acceleration, and deep turns...I don't rub. The front needs a good amount of negative camper, and 15mm spacers...if not, you will definitely not fit the 285/40 on the car. Whatever you do, you will rub (speaking from experience). ***I recommend that you use 275/40 for the front...for some odd reason, the car handles like a dream with 275s up front and with stock wheels and alignment and 15mm spacers, you wont rub at all. I have MS competition suspension up front, and custom suspension in the rear...So, this is with a drop also.

Hi, there ~

I need some help fitting 18 inch wheel with 40 side profile~~ I'm rubbing so

much that I cannot even leave the parking lot ~

sizes are 265 - 40 18 front / 295 40 18 rear with front ET20 with 12mm H&r

spacer and rear ET30 with no spacer.

Problem is that my M3 has KW CS 3way installed. Rear height is at its

maximum highest height and cannot make it higher.

Do you think I can get somehow fit these meat?

[jacobe92]

Change the tires. A 35 height tire is best.

This. The 40 seres tire, especially for the rear offset, is too tall.

Right...

But that's a street/strip tire, on higher offset wheels and higher ride height. Apple to oranges.

Very nice shots ~!!!! thank you for sharing ~

[Signature Wheel BMW]

Here's our Signature SV103 in 18"

18x9.5 ET20 front and 18x11 ET40 rear
265/35/18 front and 295/35/18 rear (conservative setup)
Easily can do 275/35/18 and 305/35/18 with the same offset

If you run R-compound and cambered, you can also run 18x10 ET23 front and 18x11.5 ET42 rear

I read thru the whole thread and concluded the following:
The only feasible way to get wider tires for a DD on stock 513M’s with stock suspension is to go with
275/35/18 and 295/35/18, most likely MPSS

Can any one comment on this setup and maybe post a pic? I won’t be lowering the car, or buying new wheels, so that’s out of the question for me.
