Hey guys, have an ‘09 E92 M3. Found a guy selling a set of Avant Garde M359 19x9 et35 fronts with 235/30/19 Hankook, and 19x10 et38 with 265/30/19 hankooks.

Will this set up fit and look ok? I’m lowered on Dinan suspension now with stock style 220’s with 19x8 et29 245/35/19, 19x9.5 et23 265/35/19.

I have spacers on the current setup and like the look.

Thanks for help!

willtheyfit.com to compare what you have now to what you're looking at.

IMO, the fronts are too skinny and short for the wheel.

They'll fit. But note your 220s are a much nicer wheel than the AG replicas.

But I get it, I swapped out of 220s as well. Keep you eyes open for used Apex wheels. You can find a comparable set for $1k and get less stagger than 235/265.

I'm not much of a fan of the 220's. I'm going to get actual AG 359's.

The AG is a replica wheel, the 359s you see on the comp package M3 is made by BBS.

If you're stoked on AG, pick them up. I would go with a 255/35 and 275/35 tire on the AGs. You'll probably enjoy the look of the that size tire on the wheel, under the fender flares, and the driving characteristics more than 235/265.

Best of luck!

Got ya, I understand about the wheels.

Apparently 359s are not made by BBS, which surprised me coming from an e46 where the zcp wheels were BBS.

I thought there was a BBS stamp on the inner - Appears the stamp is KAG? You're right, "E46 CSL & ZCP (style 163) wheels were made by BBS".

Good catch!

I swear I saw mine stamped with bbs. I'll have to confirm

Any pics of this setup with the 359M’s?

I know everyone has varying preferences for wheel fitment, but 'M359 19x9 et35 fronts with 235/30/19 Hankook, and 19x10 et38 with 265/30/19' fitment would be very weak (sucked in).

I just did the AG M359's in 19x9" +19 front with stock 245/35R19 tire and 19x10 +25 (with a 12mm spacer) and stock 265/35R19 rear tires. Stock height. I consider this 'flush', as in the widest portion of the wheel and tire combo is flush with the fender line.
If you were lowered and had more negative camber, this fitment would still be great and unlikely to cause any rubbing issues. If you were to do a 275 in the rear instead, you might want a 10mm rear spacer instead of 12 - depends on the tire...
