I ordered A7s and the sensors were on backorder until today. Wheel/tire package shipped out and should be at my door this weekend

At long last, they have arrived. They were held up in customs for some arbitrary reason. We may run out temporarily again, because this first shipment mostly had to fill backorders, but more will come in mid-October and then we should be pretty well stocked.

Sorry, hadn't visited this thread in a bit. Do you know the brembo part #? if not, is it 4 or 6 piston calipers?

Front offset is too high. If you can get the right spacer you might be able to make it work. Bolt pattern and hub size are same.

It is a little big for the front. 255/35R19 fits most of the time, but it's a little tight. 265/35R19 would probably cause some rubbing. With a little work on the fender lips/liners you could probably make it work, but it may not be worth the trouble. Going wider is not usually the best way to go for snow in any case.

I was thinking of getting some pair of winter tyres on the OEM 19" wheels. I prefer Nokian tyres Hakkapeliitta R for snowy Finland but I have some problems with the sizes they offer:
235/35, 245/40 or 255/40 R19. What do you think if I get 235/35 for front 8,5" wheels and 245/40 for the rear 9,5" wheels? Does this cause any problems with the sensor systems, since the front get's 1% smaller and the rear 1,5% bigger than the original 19" summer tyres... Help appreciated very much, thanks! |

Hi, just sold my 335xi for an M3 I took delivery of last night.
I have a brand new set of Miro 942 "313" rims in 18x18.5 and 18.9.5 Will these rims fit and what tire sizes should I get for winter. Assume 245/40 Front and 255/40 rear. |

I just took a look at those Miro 942 rims I had on my 335.
They are 9.5 with ET40 and 8.5 ET35 To use these safely on the 2011 M3 Sedan, is a 15mm spacer good for all around, or do I need a different size. |

Ben,
I got a 4x4 for the winter, so I am no longer interested in the winter tires that will provide the best snow/ice traction for my M3- on those bad days, I'll drive the truck. I plan to store my M3, but I am tempted to drive it on good days, including cold days when roads are dry and there might be light snow in the forecast. So my question for you is: what wheel/tire setup you'd recommend for drivability on good winter days while retaining as much performance and fun as possible (the least "marshmallowy" ride)?

If you plan to avoid all but the light snow, you could do an all-season tire. Stock 18" sizes with Bridgestone 960 Pole Position or Yoko Advan S4 will keep the must. If you bump up to 255F 275R you can get the Michelin Pilot Sport AS+, which are a tad sharper handling. If you still want to have true snow tires, Michelin Pilot Alpin PA2 or Pirelli 240 Sottozero come in 235/40R18 and 255/40R18. Those are some of the best handling snow tires.

You are getting the wrong wheels for an e93 (or and e90 or e92 for that matter. You generally need something between et18 and et25 in an 8 inch width. Temps consistently below about 45 degrees.

If you are willing to run at least 12mm spacers on all four corners, you could make those wheels work.
