Wondering if wheels fitted for an e92 m3 will be the same on an e92 335i
Or does the m3 have wider fenders?

Thanks fellas

[project335i]

M3 has wider fenders but you can make them work

What are the wheel specs?

[tehshayne]

19x9 +33 fronts 235/35/19 Michelin PS2
19x10 rear +35 295/35/19 Michelin PS2

Thanks again

Those wheel specs could probably work, but the tires in the rear are way too tall.

[project335i]

As said above the rear tire is to tall. Everything else is fine

[tehshayne]

I am stock ride height right now but would like to lower on coilovers in the future.

[project335i]

Your fine with the wheels specs lowered. The rear tired need to be changed though

[tehshayne]

Gotcha thanks guys. Do you think with that sizing they would sit flush or might they stick out from my fenders?

Those attempt really a poke set up. You might need spacers to make them flush depending what your interpretation of that is.

When you get them go measure and see what you need to make them sit nice. I can help you with your purchase when your ready

I greatly appreciate that. I was more interested in a strong quality csl style hyper black wheel. But I found these forgestar cf5's at a nice price locally. Well see how it goes.

Not out from the fenders...they are just too tall at that ratio. At 295/35/19, your wheel diameter will be 27.13 inches. 235/35/19 wheel diameter is 25.48 inches. The rear wheels will be nearly 2 inches taller, which not only shifts the weight forward, eliminating the near neutral 50/50 weight distribution to whatever, it will change the handling dynamic, like you're looking down, and in a turn, will not know how the car will handle, not that you might flip the car, but you will not have a pleasant experience.

Tire experts (and I am no expert) recommend staying within 2 percent between front wheel and rear wheel dimensions. The size that you are proposing is over 6 percent difference, and will also muck up the already suspect speedo readings. When your speedo says you are driving at 60mph, you are actually driving 64mph.

With that said, no way will you get that wheel inside the wheel well without major rubbing all around. Some say, that the ideal sizes front and back would be 235/35 Front and 275/30 Rear, more than enough to cover that 10-inch wheel. The wheel dimensions would be 25.48 inches in diameter up front and 25.5 inches in the back.

Good luck.

You were all a great help! I guess I'll snag up some new rear rubbers if the wheels check out nice. I appreciate it!

wow that was some nice spoon feeding guys lol

[tehshayne]

If you ever have questions about jet engines or F/A-18's I can spoon feed you all you want.

It could possibly work. 10.5 rim would probably be most ideal for 295s.
