359M Wheels on F80 M3

mbb2000 · 06-19-2020, 02:50 AM

Just got a set of the E92 M3 GTS 359M wheels in satin black from BMW. I have always loved these rims and wondered what they would look like on the F80 so I went ahead and bought a set directly from BMW. Right off the bat, I realized that the rear had perfect fitment without a spacer but I was limited to space, and the front needed a 12mm spacer to get the perfect "flush" look. At first I had a set of Pirelli P Zero corsas with the sizes of 255/35/19 in the front, and 285/30/19 in the rear. The main issue was that I started to rub in the rear so I swapped over to a set of PS4S tires from Michelin and went with the stock sizes for the 19 inch rim on the F80 which are 255/35/19 front and 275/35/19 rear which are perfect in my opinion. I also prefer these over the stock wheels that came with the car which were the 20 inch 666M wheels. I am also lowered on Eibach Pro Kit springs but will be swapping to KW V3. Just decided I would share my thought process and some pictures!

Your car looks amazing with these wheels...if you don't mind me asking, how much were the wheels?

Looks really good!

Matches the car very well 👍🏽

Looks great! I have similar wheels on my E92, my only complaint is they're a PITA to clean.

Looks great, I love this wheel so so much.

This was the concept I wanted to run with but the 359's will not clear CCB's. I found an aftermarket wheel that was very close in face design and profile to have fitted to the car without any spacers. IG: LeMansF80 if you're curious.

Yeah, that was the main issue with the wheels was the space. It is also pretty tight with the regular brakes.

Honestly as a detailer for fun I have to say that these are pretty easy to clean. The 666m were also pretty easy to keep clean but I much prefer 19s.

Yes, these are a bit easier than the 666M. I also have Akebono ceramic pads which keep the dust down a bit.
