Question about aftermarket wheels
What sizes are you F8x guys running in the front? I'm on a wait list for the F87 and got thinking that if the car uses F80 rear suspension and the same factory 10" wheel, that I should be able to run a 10" wheel in the front for a more square setup.

On the most recent F8X M’s that we've done, we’ve built 20x9.5 front with a 255/30/20 tire and 20x11 rear with a 295/30/20 tire. We’re currently building a 20x10 front and 20x11.5 rear for a few other F82 M4’s!
Here are a few pics, |

Widths aren't the issue as much as offset.. you can run 8-10'' in front and 10-12'' in rear - All depending on offset in order to choose tire size.

I'm really leaning towards a 10" front and 10" rear square set up. Not sure what offsets I'd need to clear the front struts and not stick out past the fender lip. Not rolling the fenders would be really nice, but I'm not sure I can get away with that.
If I stick with a 29 offset, I should be pretty flush in the front, and the rear I can probably go something like a 20-22 offset to bring that wheel out to the fender lip. Do these sizes seem alright to you guys? 19x10f et 29, 19x10r et 21

10" ET25 squared will work. That is what I ordered from BC Forged.
There are no fenders to roll in the F8x. Quote:

Pretty much anything is possible, especially if you go forged and have the ability to get custom offsets. It all depends on the tire you run, suspension setup, wheel.. There's a lot of variables that do come into play. Best bet would be to get the car measured prior to buying anything and kinda think about what exactly is going to be done to the car. Just my 2 cents!
