Red face Best Wheel setup for lowereing springs E92?

Hey yall,

Just bought my E92 M3, the car was already on springs when I got it.

Looking to buy new wheels, right now looking at the Apex VS5RS, trying to go for a flushed look without any rubbing.

Front:

19x9.5, 22 offset wrapped in 265/35/r19

Rear:

19x10.5, 22 offset wrapped in 295/30/r19

you will rub with a 265/35/19 front tire. A better choice is the 265/30/19, but best is the 275/30/19).

your rear proposal is perfect and will not rub and give you a pretty nice, flush fit. You could also go with the 11" +25 offset option and 295/30/19, which would stick out 3mm more than your 10.5" +22 and be super flush.

Overall, that will be a great fitment and setup for a lowered E92.

Your proposed setup of wheel sizes with 265/30 or 275/30 front and 295/30 rear will look like this as far as fitment and flushness goes with standard lowering springs.

Slight issue, they don't have the rear setup you recommended.

I still want to get that very flushed look on the car, should I still go with 10.5 rear with 25 offset?

The Apex VS-5RS in 11" +25 exists, unless you are wanting motorsport gold or bronze color. The 10.5 +22 is only not available in bronze.

Either of these wheels are going to be very close to flush, its only 3 mm, and worst case scenario, you can add a 3mm spacer if necessary.

The 10.5+22 will look EXACTLY like my two pics above as far as flush goes. So if you think you want the wheel to stick out an extra 3mm, get the 11" +25.

The issue is, I want them in 19 inch wheels and they dont have that option unfortunately. I guess I'll get the 10.5 +22

Shit, my bad. I must have been thinking of another guy's 18" wheel fitment post

yes.... 19".... your best rear wheel options are either the 19x10.5" +22 or you can get the 19x11" +44 and add a 15mm to 18mm spacer in the rear. If you are against spacers, the 10.5" +22 will work great with a 295/30/19 tire.
