18" Wheel Thread

Slickz · 12-05-2019, 04:44 PM

My 340 lease is ending and I'm looking at upgrading to a new M4. Would anyone be able to let me know if my winter setup would fit without any rubbing/issues?

My winter wheels are 18x8.0 ET 34 BMW OEM style 415 in black.
Tires are Michelin Xice XI3 225/45 R18

From what I've seen looks like they should be ok on stock but maybe issue with the competiton package or carbon ceramic brakes? Not sure what car/options my lease broker will be able to find yet.

Curious to see if anyone has run 255/35/18 and 265/35/18 on the stock 513m wheels. Nankang makes a great tire, the NS2R, but the sizes are very limited. Do you guys think I will be ok with this setup for my track wheels. A set of 4 is going for $600😳

Hello, i'm a long time lurker but i've found this thread to be very beneficial.

Has anyone run R888R's with Mickey Thompsons in the rear? Or all R888R's? Pictures would be great! I'm thinking 275/35/18 and 305/35/18.

Thats a very nice setup! Any rubbing in the rear? Negative camber added?

18" E88's.

18 by 10 et 21 (2" lips) front.
18 by 11.5 et 42 (3" lips) rear.

Currently running A052's 265/35 and 295/35. Also have AP 9668 calipers up front but it's a bolt on fitment. Really happy with how the car looks on 18's. It looks very Motorsport to me.

The seats are fantastic. I have almost 10k miles in them between my two cars with no issues. They're super ergonomic and work well on street and track.

Loving these 18s.

PKBlu · 04-10-2020, 06:25 PM

Been reading through this tread and any others I can find. Like many of you I would like to get more tire width in the rear. Going from 666m to 513m and considering keeping the 255/40-18 in the front and upgrading to 295/35-18 in the rear. People that have done this has there been any issues?

gatorfast · 04-10-2020, 09:32 PM

285/40 would be the better for as the 295 is a little large for a 10" wheel.

No rubbing, has been on bumpy and banked track without issues. It was just lowered on Swift springs in those pics, so slight additional neg camber over OEM from the drop but no additional adjustment. And yes, standard TE37 F80 fitment.

Looks like the new Falken RT660 will come in the same sizes I'm running, may try that next. Wish there were more 295-315 options in 18" sticky street tires. Not willing to go to R comps for my street car but a 305/35/18 rear option would be great, ideally Hankook RS4 for wear and heat resistance.
