Space Gray E92 M3 on OEM CSL wheels

sgmsmg · 11-25-2008, 07:47 PM

My first post so I thought I would share a few pics. Just picked the car up Saturday. Spacers came in today so I mounted the driver's side wheels to see how they would look. Wheel gap looks a little on the large side because tires are 245-35-19/275-30-19. Spacers are 15mm front and 10mm rear. It was raining out so I had to take the pictures from my garage.

Just would like to thank everyone on this forum there is tons of info.

Lookin good. So do the spacers compromise the comfort? I'd hate to look that good but be vibrating in my seat!

very nice.. this reminds me of the M3 concept car in Geneva last year.

Bimmer Nerd · 11-25-2008, 07:54 PM

wow looks really nice, i think you need a little drop (unless your planning for winter and those tires and wheels came out )

looks GREAT for winter none the less.

Thanks! Haven't driven the car with them on. This was just a test fit. I would need to put TPMS on before I would use them. Hopefully the spacers won't cause any vibartions.

I know it needs a drop but I just got the car not sure what I want to do. The stock 18's are back on. I won't drive this in winter. It will stay tucked away in the garage.

Just a test fit. 18's are back on. I saw that you sold the 19's, now the temptation is gone.

New springs and it may be perfect. Not sure that those OEM CSL wheels are wide enough though, but just my opinion.

Wheels are the same width as stock 19's, 8.5" in the front and 9.5" in the back. Spacers bring the wheels out to exactly the same offsets as stock 19's too. The rears are a few mm farther out.

I Like!

tightie · 11-26-2008, 12:29 AM

with a drop and spacers. you can pull it off.

rzm3 · 11-26-2008, 01:12 AM

The concept does seem to look lower than our production cars... maybe it was dropped on H&R already lol...

Anyway I would really encourage you to get the proper sized rear tires -- 265(or275)/35/19. Your 275/30 are 3.166% smaller than the OE size.

longtran · 11-26-2008, 01:21 AM

csl never gets old. very nice.

Shade · 11-26-2008, 01:31 AM

Very nice combo ! however, i think u need a drop now !

Deda · 11-26-2008, 06:06 AM

wow,very nice.

If I keep them I plan on it. I was just trying these out while I had them left over from my E46.

MMMorish · 11-26-2008, 08:05 AM

I like it a lot! But I agree with the others, needs a drop.

For the veteran posters; What's the best drop to use that will not interfere with EDC? I'm interested in this as well.

Sorry for not using the search button

Big Windy · 11-26-2008, 08:59 AM

concept is SO SICK

torredresen · 11-26-2008, 09:05 AM

Good choice, and car looks great but you have to drop it...
Like someone already said, the only wheels that go without drop, are the 19's M3

Greets

bavarian19 · 11-26-2008, 09:07 AM

I think that is the best looking OEM rim on the E9x M3. Too bad you need some serious spacers to make it work.
