Beautiful car and wheels! I want to get the exact same wheel and tire size but with Cup 2s for track use (19 inch square config with 285 tires). However, I'm worried about the tires rubbing - did you notice that at all, any wear on your inner wheel liner?
If so, I may go with the 275.

Sorry to revive an old thread but what are the specs for these wheels? Did you have to use any spacers?

I'm debating on changing the tire set up for the G87 M2 to square and looking at my options.

The wheels pictured above are 19x10 ET12 front and rear with 285/35-19s. I don't think he's running spacers.

We haven't brought in a G87 M2 yet for testing, I'm still looking to collect volunteers in the Bay Area to help us with that project. Its looking like the m3/4 fitments are similar but the M2 front fitment might not match the M3 with wider setups so I'd like to get some testing of these wheels done prior to selling them to M2 customers. If you are local and willing to help us with that project, you can find more info here: https://g42.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh...highlight=apex

I'm not from the area but please do keep us posted.

285/35/19 on the front, considering it's 10mm more than the stock 275 width, does the tire rub?

It can with our 19x10 ET12 wheels against the vanes of the fender liners behind the heat exchanger when steering lock is dialed in. This is particularly noticeable in reverse because the upward angle of the vanes catches the tires on the way up.

It won't rub under normal driving conditions. The amount of rubbing is also dependant on the tire you run. Not all tires are created equal despite sharing the same listed size and wider tires are more likely to rub.

Hi there,

Our 5x112 G8X M3/4 wheels will fit the OEM BMW centercaps that came on the car from the factory without any issues.

If you have any other questions, please let us know!

Sorry for Reviving an old thread.
Any chance we can fit 305/30/19 squared in the m3 comp xdrives?
Really contemplating getting the Apex VS-5RS in 19x11 squared then wrapped in 305/30/19 for a meaty track set up.

I saw Jackie Ding with the G87 M2 was able to gobble up the same size as stated. I wondering if it’ll work for the M3c as well.

Any input would be appreciated, thank you!
