M4 437m wheels on my e90 lci

lnxguy · 09-08-2016, 08:16 PM

God damn do those rims ever look good! Really makes me wanna go 19's on my 335d!

starbai · 11-11-2016, 02:48 PM

does anyone know if the 437m's are available in a 18" replica?

335Dkazalski · 02-26-2017, 12:52 PM

Hey guys, just bought a 2011 335d and was wondering if anyone knows if they make this exact set up in an aftermarket/replica wheel? I can't seem to find the same offset or I guess it's considered "et" any help would be appreciated!! That car looks amazing btw!!

I had no idea. I guess if I ever do buy a set of 437's that's simply more fuel to justify me purchasing a set... !

Great advice OP

Would these OEM 437m work on 2011 328 x-drive ?

Tire size suggestions?

Thanks.

You shouldn't really run staggered wheels on X-Drive vehicles if I remember correctly.. I was looking into that when I had an AWD 328. Something to do with the overall diameter needing to be within a couple percent of front to rear. It would probably be a good idea to double check

dirday · 04-09-2017, 08:15 PM

I don't know much about rims, tires sizes, offsets etc...

I have a 2011 M3 Sedan and want to put these silver 437 M4 rims on it.

From my understanding, I can use the rims from the M4 and they will bolt on, but I need different tires. Is this correct?

Or can I simply just buy take offs from a M4 and put them on my car?

If someone can suggest the best tire and 437 rim combination that would be great...

Also, what is the real difference between the replicas I see out there vs OEM? Why would I not want replicas? (sorry lots of questions)

I had a hell of a time running 04 19" m3 rims on a 04 330 way back and don't want to have that mess again.

thank you.

terryd5150 · 04-10-2017, 05:47 PM

I've got a set of 437 reps I'll be putting on my E90 LCI soon.

9.5 inch rears with a 37 offset; my plan is to put 275/30s on the rear (M-sport suspension).

I'll update when I get them installed.

You can absolutely run staggered on xdrive without issues. The overall diameters have to be within 1% with the fronts being taller, if any.

Can someone please give me a hand with this? I called 2 shops in town and no one can give me solid answers. I'm sorry I'm new here, should I be on a m3 forum?

Ask your question in the M3 section.

E90Winter · 05-01-2017, 04:27 PM

OEM wheels look best.
What would you recommend for e90 2008 pre LCI manual RWD.
Stock nonsport suspension.

Thanks.

Looks great!

There was only one silver offered on the e90, Titanium Silver Metallic (354). Since OP's looks a little bluish in some pics it MAY be Bluewater Metallic (896) but my bet is on Titanium Silver.

rightaway · 04-21-2021, 06:39 PM

I love these wheels on the lci e90. Are the rep wheels more prone to bend? Should I hold out for factory wheels?

1) Yes 2) Yes

rightaway · 01-22-2022, 09:34 PM

I have the same car but non sport suspension. I don’t know if the sport lowers the car at all. It looks like 275 will fit stock. Will 255 fit in the front.

marconi118 · 01-23-2022, 10:13 AM

255 with ET29 will not fit on the front if you dont shave the fenders where they meet the front bumper

rightaway · 01-23-2022, 11:17 AM

235 is the way to go than. I don’t want to shave
