My new set of 9.5x19 ET23 front, 10.5x19 ET23 rear TE37 Ultra's in Diamond Black just arrived today. Will be coating them and mounting next week! Glad I went with Diamond Black over Dark Gunmetal and Magnesium Blue, finish is exactly what I was looking for and really can't be fully appreciated unless viewed in person.

Exactly how these Volks should look after a day at Laguna Seca

sidewaymambo · 11-23-2016, 10:31 PM

Ok, I am cleared as mud now! I am convinced that I will go and get TE37SL, but should I go with OEM size 19" or down to 18"? It's stock height and suspension, planning lower spring or coil over and BBK later, thanks

Better tire choices with 18s, if concerned with any fender gap until you lower it you can fill that with thicker sidewall. Also gives it a more serious/purpose filled look.

I went with 18" and still had plenty of room to clear a Stoptech 380mm 6 pot kit in front, for what it's worth. Brembo, on the other hand, may compromise some of that clearance because their caliper is either bigger or positioned differently - no clue - but you're gonna want to go Stoptech or AP/Essex if you go down to 18" (you should go down to 18", lol, trust me).

sidewaymambo · 12-03-2016, 12:49 AM

Thank you guys, ordered a set of 18" Te37SL PW, and Ground control Coilover convert kit with 500/750 linear spring will post picture once all done, thank you all very much!

becausephilchow · 12-09-2016, 08:29 PM

Has anybody run the F8X M3/M4 Rear Fitment?

18x11 +34

What tire sizes are people running?

And also, is the concavity on the 18x11 +34 the same as the 18x10.5 +22?

i have 18's ET 22 TE37Sl's on Brembo BBK 380 Front and rear, no clearance issues. I've seen pictures of the barrels getting rocks between the BBK and the wheel and tend to leave a mark. I have yet to have that problem, but if you want to go with Brembo, it will work.

Also interested in this. 18x11 would be awesome.

Here's mine on 19" TE 37sl

There were custom 18x11 +18 TE37s before. A shop ordered a bunch and got custom fitment and offset, but they're extremely rare.

The +18 doesn't allow for an extremely wide tire without camber in the rear either. The +34 would actually be perfect for those trying to run a large rear tire.

A small spacer would help any strut clearance issues.

x3kenster · 01-04-2017, 12:48 AM

Hi guys, just upgraded from my 135i to my M3. Will be going with Bc racing br coilovers. I have a set of te37s laying around that I wanted to get redrilled and throw onto the M.

18x9.5 +12
18x10.5 +15

Will this work? I would like to run a meaty tire set up and willing to roll fenders (no pull) and adjust camber if more than neutral camber is needed.

What tires size would u guys recommend? Thanks in advance!

Why would you need to re-drill coming from a 135i to an M3? They're both 5x120 already.

Yes, this would work fine.

If you have front and rear camber adjustment, you could run a 265/285 setup, but it's quite aggressive. I reckon you'll need -3 Front Camber, coupled with probably about -2.5~ in the rears. Although this depends on how low you are.

These are wheels were off of my turbo mr2, not my 1ner.

Now would this be a 40 series tire or 35? Thank u very much for the feedback!
