That’s great news. Independent of the group buy, any chance of a 19x10et40-ish rear fitment for those of us concerned with SCCA Street class legality? Love the EC-7s on my ‘17 M2, and was really hoping for a 19 that would fit my M2C.

Thanks!

Great question. With the arrival of the M2C and the 19" wheel requirement, we are definitely planning on producing some track-focused 19" setups for the M2. They'll likely be arriving in the first half of next year.

I’m excited to see this! Any chance we can get a heads up on the proposed M2C track sizes. I can hold off untill the spring, but we need to know what kind of sizing we are discussing. Looking for the options with a M2C and Ohlins.

Nothing is set in stone just yet, but we'll likely be mirroring our 18" sizes: 9.5" ET28 and 10.5" ET40. We'll keep the SCCA rules in mind as well, we know it would be great to offer lightweight options in the stock widths.

Thank you all for your feedback and participation. 19" SM-10 wheels are on the way. More details can be found in the original post.

For those of us that want to run the maximum amount of rubber on lowered M2 with a staggered setup (265/275 front, 295/305 rear) we need a 19x10.5” rear with ET45-47.

I guess lack of response to my comment above means 2-tones are not on the menu !!!!

Bee Pee,

We apologize for the lack of response! You would be correct in that assumption however, we will not be offering any two-tone finish options on the FL-5 wheels.

I hope that this clears up any confusion!

Sm-10 vs FL-5 for E92

How do you decide which once for the track? They both look so good.

Choices are tough, but rest assured, you will not be disappointed with either option.

Are there M2 specific offsets in the works for the 19" SM-10? And if so, when are you expecting those and what are the offsets? Also, any real-world pictures of the 19s on the M2?

Indeed there are. It's preliminary at the moment, but we'd love to mirror our 18" sizes in the 19" diameter: 19x9.5" ET28 and 19x10.5" ET40. We'll have a more solid update early to mid next year.

We don't have any real-world 10" SM-10 photos, but here are some 19" ARC-8s:



Hope this helps!

These are our 19x9" ET28 front and 19x9.5" ET33 wheels. This setup would need 5mm front spacers to clear the calipers. Although the ARC-8 is one of our more classic designs, it does look pretty at home on the M2.

Any idea what style, width, ET, weight that the M2C will be seeing in a 19" wheel?

Have 6x ARC-8 in 18x10 and 18x10.5 for my 1M and love them. Too bad they can't clear the BBKs on the M2C. Need to get another set for the next season.

Also interested in 19/9.5 and 10.5 with OEM offsets!

What do you think the maximum square setup would be M2C?

We've seen up to 18x10" ET33 used as a square fitment with 275/35-18 tires. This fitment requires 12mm front spacers to clear the suspension as well as front negative camber, and fits nicely in the rear as well without any modifications.

Here are some photos from our Gallery/Showroom thread:

You have my attention.

I'm wondering if the 265 on 10" rear are enough for the cs+ tune on track. Id hate to go staggered but I suppose we are the guinea pigs at this stage. I'd love to try the setup above in 19s as a starting point. Make it happen
