18" Stock Wheels on Competition Package e90?

irex511 · 05-14-2016, 04:22 PM

I'm extremely excited to say that I just recently picked up an e90 M3 Competition Package, bringing me back to the M3 world for the first time in 5+ years!

Unfortunately, the wheels on the car that I bought have been powdercoated black, so I'm looking to pick up another set of stock sized wheels that I can use at the track.

I remember in my e46 ZCP that the rotors were ~10mm different on the comp package and caused the stock 18" wheels not to fit.

Has anyone run stock size 18"s with a competition package car?

Thanks!

Mike

Shouldn't be any problems running 18s. All m3 e9x have the same brakes.

Perfect, thanks!

Just try and make sure the width and offset work like 18x10 et25

That is exactly what a lot of guys do for track and winter duty. Apex wheels are the popular choice here -- proven for track use and priced reasonably. They are a sponsor of this website.

You could also just look for OEM 18" wheels if you want to keep handling balance close to stock and not break the bank.
