17" on a M2C

golf4501 · 06-24-2018, 05:33 PM

I currently have a 235M and have a set of 17" with Michelin Alpina's that I use for Winter. I'm upgrading to a M2C and it's looking like it may be Winter delivery. My question will these fit, or do I have to buy yet another set of Winters?

Not only can’t you run 17’s, but 18’s probably wont work either. This is due to the 6-pot front brake calipers and larger rotors.

Thanks! That's what I was afraid of. Guess I'll take off the TPMS 's and buy a set of 19s. I assume the TPMS are at least inter-changeable?

Yes. Simply reset the TPMS when you swap rims, just as you do now.

Will not even fit the regular M2 brake system.
Since M2C is offered bigger brake system as standard in US, they will definitely not fit on M2C. Not even 18s I think.

I would seriously doubt 18s will fit on an M2C. I have 18” Apex EC-7s on my M2, and they fit, but only just. The M2C front rotors are 20mm larger.

If N2H brakes are present then 19 inch is the minimum.

Here's a closeup of an M2C front wheel. I don't see any way a 17" or 18" wheel could possibly fit.

No. 17'' 18'' both are not going to work with new BBK.

Just to put it in perspective, the rotors alone are nearly 16 inches in front. With caliper, I don’t see how anything less than 19s will fit.

Rotors on M2c are approx 15.7in

19s and larger will fit... 18s will not
