What wheels fit the M2C?

Now i come from the world of S2000s and i know that wheel fitment can get a bit tricky. I also know that having a 2020 M2 Competition US spec is even more tricky due to the bigger brake calipers we get.

That being said i'm looking at the SSR GTX01 Wheel in 19x 9.5 +38. Would these fit the M2 Competition? Are these measurements a good starting point for wheel fitment?

Also i might have to run a square setup and i realize the rears might look a bit weird since their 19x10.5 wheel doesnt seem to come in 5x120 which is weird to me. I do plan on tracking/autocrossing this car so i dont really want to be putting spacers on it, but would a 19x9.5 look weird in the rear?

Any and all information about wheel fitment on an M2 Competition would be welcome. I've been non-stop looking through the forums but most of the information on here are either Apex wheel related or OG M2 related.

Thanks

There is no difference between OG M2 wheels and M2C wheels. Offsets and fitment are the same.

OG M2 can fit 18" and 19", M2C can only fit few 19s with specific offsets because of the big brakes on the front.

I stand corrected. I didn’t think of 18s because the OG M2 came standard with 19s.

I think 9.5 would look weird because the rear quarter panels stick out further than the fronts. It's gonna look super tucked. Im still trying to decide what wheels to get as well and I might just end up swapping the front brakes to have more wheel variety.

There are a number of fitments for the "standard" M2 as you know but the Competition is limited to 19"+ due to the brake size. We designed a fitment specifically for the M2C using our EC-7 wheel design and have created the following fitment:







Front: 19x9.5" ET28 with 265/30-19 tires
Rear: 19x10.5" ET45 with 295/30-19 tires
  • M2C recommended fitment.
  • Available in EC-7 design only.
  • 5mm front spacers or larger may be required with certain aftermarket suspensions.
  • Front negative camber recommended if using aggressive tire compounds.

Have to be careful though since Competition models outside of the US don't come standard with the larger brakes.

FWIW 763M look really good. I have the Orbit Grey double staggered from M4CS and works well.

I'll buy pretty much immediately after you release M2c fitment for the ARC-8.

I love those BBS FI-R’s but I’m not spending $8k for wheels.

2NH brakes are an option in some markets (EU), as you likely know.

A friend is running 513M 18s on his M2c with blue brakes. In some ways I wish I had gone w blue brakes to enable 18s. First world problems

True, but as the OP lives in California, he can't choose the blue brakes
