Has anyone actually look at the wheels offset (those that took delivery)??

Seems like this info is top secret still

*Edit*
stock M235 specs (thanks to 2blue4you)

These are 19" accessory wheels

Offsets are the same for 18" and 19" ET45 front, ET52 rear

Doesn't seem like you can do too much width wise with the car. I got some 8.5s in the back now, and it doesn't look like you can go a whole lot wider without something rubbing.

19 X 7.5 et 45 and 19 X 8 et 52 is rather small. Looks like our car won't be able to wear a 275 width in the rear. I really don't like how thin the tires are on the car. I think BMW should have designed it to be a bit more flexible. Guess only the M2 will have that availability.

265 rears will be fine I agree. My old Z4 coupe had 275 and I just loves the stance from the back. Was hoping that the m235i would have a nice wide stance also. 265 will suffice but I doubt it will fit.

Tire rack does sell some 9" fitments for the back wheels.

http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/resul...rSpecial=false

But only 245 width tires on those. A 265 tire should fit on that rim, but it might be that the wider tire will rub something. I know there is not a whole lot of fender clearance with my 245 tire on 18x8.5 rims.

rears are 52.... don't remember the front. I spent all week at the wheel shop trying to figure out what 19" wheels will fit the car without having to purchase a 2 or 3 piece wheel.

The high offset made the selection pretty slim. I was told that if I want any type of concave or deep lip I'd have to go fully custom 2 or 3 piece.

I'll post the exact specs tomorrow.

ended up going 19x8.5 all the way around with 225/35 front and 255/30 rear. We played with the offset to give it a staggered look.

Thinking of putting factory 245's on front and running 255's Michelin Pilot Sport's on back with factory 7.5" & 8.0" wheels. What does everyone think?

M235i Offset

Can you do a 18x9.5 ET35 without any rub? I haven't seen this as a setup in all around. I've seen the 18x9.5 in the tears but not the front. I've been told it won't work

Or does it have to 18x8.5 all the way around? I have x drive so I don't want a staggered setup. Want to be squared up.

Was looking to do this....

Can someone confirm it this would fit on my M235i?

8J ET30 on all 4 corners, 19" wheels.
Stock tire dimensions (225/35R19 and 245/30R19) lowered on ST XA coilovers.

Thank you in advance.
