Tire size is 235/35/19 & 265/30/19.

Wheels are 19x8.5 ET 35 Fronts, 19x9.5 ET33 Rear - Specifically made for the E92 Coupe, I have the first set ever with this offset. You must get it from **********s to get et33 rears like mine for the coupe.

Just to clarify... Sedan can run the normal et30, coupe will rub, so it needs this new et33.

[montreal_bimmer]

the wheels look great....

[Revlis]

Would love a couple of pics without all the photoshop rub... Something crisp. I'm thinking they look really nice...

I've had some experience with RUBBING from 19" M6 wheels ET30 in the rear from **********s. However, as silly as it may sound, i knew that I would be rubbing when i first got the wheels because i asked them to ship the wheels with 275's in the rear and 245's in the front. I had to roll the lips in the back which took care of the problem completely (see attached picture with the rolled lip and no rubbing) and downsized the front to 225 since i was rubbing when turning the wheel all the way...

HERE is a question for everybody else with M6 replicas, however. I bottomed out my suspension going over some very severe bumps (twice in the last 2 weeks) and I BENT BOTH REAR WHEELS TO THE EXTENT THAT THEY WERE ALMOST EGGSHAPED!!! TWICE!! i had to have the straightened both times but the guys who did it for me told me that these wheels are NOT the strongest... I was wondering if anybody else had problems with BENDING THESE WHEELS. i can say that i had a G35 before this car with 20" forged Maya's driving in New York City and NEVER bent those... (they were also $1100 a piece so maybe I'm getting what I'm paying for :-)

I have never heard anyone else mention the wheels bending... thats odd. I know MiRo changed some things about the wheel recently, to the point where i was told these were a "new version"

There are also a few things that I cant seem to figure out...

I have never seen 19" m6 wheels all chrome looking like yours, are you sure they are MiRo brand? also, they dont look as aggressive as even my offset... let me get a pic from the same angle...

Also, you might want to verify your rear wheels width and ET, I was told that ET30 only comes in the Gunmetal version (like mine) and neither was availible in chrome!

chrome only comes in these sizes (from **********s website):
18x8.0 5x120 ET-20 / 38
20x9.0 5x120 ET-20
20x10.0 5x120 ET-25

Do you mind to take a picture if your car from behind? I would love to see how the wheels fill the rear fenders. If you dont mind taking a picture like that, I would appreciate it.

I think that the best distance to take the picture would be from about 15-20 feet at tire level.

Thanks a lot

Those ARE Miro wheels. I actually bought them from **********s and I had those guys get them chromed for another $600 or so. They are ET30 in the back. The reason why the offset doesnt look it in the picture is bc i think i went overboard with the flaring of the fenders. i wanted to make sure the wheels don't rub in the back under any circumstances.

As for the wheels bending... well, i took mine back to have them straightened out AGAIN (twice in 2 weeks). BOTH were again BENT!!! I do have coilovers and the ride is pretty slammed in the back but the guys from the shop all agreed that something is wrong with these wheels. They SHOULD NOT bend so easily. I will call the guys from **********s this week and see if they are covered by any warranty of some sort. Maybe the new batch is stronger. BTW, the vibration i feel strongest at about 45-60 mph.

maybe the chroming process weakened the metal ? if anything, it probably voided the warrenty...
