Ferric Grey 437M for Winter

Got my winter setup sorted out last week.

Ferric Grey 437M with Michelin PA4s, square setup (245/35R19).

Nice
Are those OG rims? Did you manage 245 also for rear wheels?

Yep they are. I looked around for some used ones but I couldn't find any that looked decent, so I bought new ones from getbmwparts.com. Not cheap, but I think it was worth it.

All 4 wheels are the front wheel version, so no issues with the 245s on the rear. I was a little nervous that they wouldn't look wide enough in the back, but I can't see much of a difference. And now I can rotate them!

Smart, that's what I would of done; get four fronts, so I could rotate the tires and stretch out the wear..

This and the electronic LSD and you'll be looking forward to any snow

I was wondering how it would of looked and confirmed that front-size wheels can go on the back without any compromise..

I might even leave a square set up permanently now, I don't track, so any lost of traction is negligible to me..

Yes, a good idea for the 2NH brakes.

They are only 2mm more tucked in than the stock rear wheels, so no doubt it looks the same 👍
