Maybe not completely applicable but I had 255/19's on stock 437s all around on my F80 M3. Nokian R2. Obviously you lose dry traction but never had a problem in snow. I'm not driving through unplowed roads very often but even when I've had to go through hilly areas with snow on the ground, the car feels great. Helped braking and cornering too versus my AWD car with all seasons. Driving about 5,000 miles each winter.
As long as you aren't driving through deep snow, an aggressive winter tire like the Nokians will get you through. |

Thanks guys. I have gone with the OEM 473's with Michelin PA's 245 in the front and 255 in the rear. The first M car in the family.

Definitely a big difference from the M235 in responsiveness and how tight it is. Whoever said, it's got character is a great way to describe it.
I noticed as well they have Continentals on versus the Michelin. Not sure if I should be concerned about that or not. Anyway, here is the beast. Last edited by X54TH; 02-17-2019 at 09:43 AM.. |

For the OG M2, 18" is the recommended size. I had the OEM BMW 640 set and it was awesome.

This thing is a beast. the DCT is so smooth. The car is tight. The instrument gauges are so crisp. the M2 feels very different from the M235 that had the MPE. We were talking this evening about the possibility of the MPE upgrade. I also need to get someone to code the car. I need the disclaimer pop-up gone, mirrors to fold in, VLD, etc Last edited by X54TH; 02-17-2019 at 09:54 AM.. |

Don't hesitate: get it. MPE = grin generator.

Well they certainly clear the BMW 640s. I am surprised about other wheels if the offset it correct - alas, if someone does get them, they are of course the better choice for the OG M2 for the winter - as long as they are sure they fit.

There's a handful of 18" wheels that are known to fit. Apex had a few options that are relatively affordable. Many of the higher end brands as well. |

Edit. You goof. I’m talking the M2. This. https://www.shopbmwusa.com/Product/6...L-AND-TIRE-SET And I still don’t know of any 18s in the correct offset that don’t fit. Last edited by doug_999; 12-17-2018 at 12:56 AM.. |

Has anyone replaced their tips. I see how to remove them. Looking for black chrome. What did you go with?

Are they square or angled. Where did you get them?
