Will these wheels fit F80/82?

Hey folks!

I'm wondering if the following offsets will fit either a F80 M3 or F82 M4 with no rubbing and clearing both brake callipers?

Front: 19x9.5 +19

Rear: 19x10.5 +30

Do you have carbon ceramic brakes?

If yes, need to specify which wheel or contact manufacturer.
If no, yes they'll fit. Although depending on how low you are in the rear, your rear tire size may be limited.

My TE37s had 9.5 +20 front, 10.5 +30 rear, although in 18s. But I was low in the rear so I couldn't go wider than a 285. Only had 1 finger gap between tire sidewall and inner fender liner:

Whether a wheel clears a caliper or not is determined by the conical profile of the face of that wheel more so than the offset. Offset will give you a inclination that it may fit (which it does in this instance), but it's not cut and dry that way. Best bet is to check with the manufacturer of the wheel and verify if there are multiple profiles of that wheel available and if it clears your specific brakes.

As far as the fitment, fronts and rears are perfectly fine though you likely won't be able to squeeze a 305 back there without fender rolling or similar.

You can fit a 305 just fine.

This is a 305/30/19 on a 19x10.5 +35 with a 5mm spacer; making it a 19x10.5 +30. No rubbing. No modification to the fender liner. And you can't roll the fender because it is already flat from the factory.

Not all tires that are listed as '305' are in fact the exact size that you have. A Micheiln 305 may rub where you would be perfectly fine. You've got a real tight fit in there so with the exact camber you're running it's no problem, but for some or the majority of people looking at your picture they may not have your exact camber settings nor the exact brand/model tire you're using, nor be lowered at your specific ride height. Sure it looks like yours fits, but that again is a really tight squeeze.

Continental extreme contacts that you've got have a section width of 12.3" but a tread width of 10.9" whereas a Michelin Pilot Sport 4S has the same section width of 12.3" but a tread width that is half an inch wider at 11.5" which could make that tire more square, less round, meaning less clearance and a potential rubbing issue.

You can technically roll the fender it just may not be a smart idea, but some people, in order to get fitments to work, will do it anyway.

Just throwing that out there so that people take your post with a grain of salt as not all tires are made to conform to the exact same sizing.

Seeing those photos makes me so amped to put my Advans on in the spring. Your car was the entire reason I bought a 19 inch set in silver for my car.

Apologies. You are correct. I should've checked all the tread widths before posting that. The 305 Conti ECS I was running does indeed have a smaller tread width than other tires.
