F80 Deep Concave Clearance (update:05/17/15)
I've seen similar topics broached a couple of time in other threads without a clear answer, but I've got a question about clearance on some deep concave wheels.
I've had these wheels that were on my e92 m3, and I'm curious if they'll fit on my new f80 M3. The specs: Rims:20x10.5, 20x9 Tires: 305/25/20, 255/30/20 Offsets: not released, but they're pretty aggressive. I'll be lowering it on H&R sport springs, and not looking to run any stupid cambers to make em fit. I also know they wouldn't clear a BBK on the e92 in the front... and while I don't have the carbon ceramic brakes on the F80, the calipers look bigger? Is there more of a clearance concern with the F80? Maybe its just that they're painted that they look bigger? So while I know it might be hard to give a definitive answer with out all the offset info, I'd for sure appreciate a loose "eh, it might fit" or "wouldn't count on it". Muchos gracias. Update (5/17/15):

annex, without the offset info, the only way to find out is to test fit them. I was able to put on my wheels from my E92 M3 and I have a pretty good concave on them.

So for those that are interested, I just got the wheels on today and they cleared the front (and rear) calipers by a decent amount as a nice surprise. The fitment is great, but a bit too snug on the rears with the H & R sport springs just put on. There's a bit of rub on steep driveways and a couple hard bumps, but I guess the 305 rears will do that. I think most of it is pretty minor rubbing that will sort itself out with time, but I have another alignment after 500 miles once the springs settle in... so I might add some very slight negative camber to offset some of the rubbing going on. Other than that, I'm super stoked on the results and won't have to sell the wheels any more.

Thanks man! Yea, I never got them from DPE but I'll try to get in there and measure them as a frame of reference for others.

Damn. That fitment is on point!
Seriously making me reconsider opting for OEM wheels with wider tires... Any weight specs for that setup? |

Check out filthyrich - I believe he had the same car as me (+ some) and ran oem wheels with wider tires and looked great. He'd be a good guy to talk to if you want to go that route

wheels look damn good. Its hard to find wheels with deep dish with the F80. Having the correct offset and suspension is key. With the KW V3 the springs are much large then the HR. Your able to push the limit more.

Do you have the wheel width info? I can guess the offset based on the photos if you do.

This is the exact look I've been after. After search and search I have yet to find double 5 spoke deep concave look I've always loved.
If you can get the info on your specs I would be eternally grateful. These are MT5's right? |
