Calling Experts: 763m front wheel 9x19 on rear
Hi everyone,
Looking to put 763m wheels on my M2. I don’t want to run 20s in the rear, but like the oem orbit grey color. Can I run a square setup with 9x19 all around? I plan to keep the stock tire sizes at 245/35/19 front and 265/35/19 rear. Here is what willtheyfit.com says. Think I’ll run in to any problems? Thanks in advance for your help, Mike! |

There is literally no problem with this at all, as far as fitment, but damn she's going to be tail happy!
But IMO it's MUCH smarter to buy a standard set of 763's and have them powder coated to match the Orbit grey (which is unspecial at best), or something close. That way you retain the driving dynamics/safety/tires/your life. |

Somehow, I’ve survived two winters and a few dozen track days on square wheel/tire packages. This response is taking the change in handling to a bit of an extreme. It requires slightly more care with throttle application and nothing more. The M2 is quite nicely balanced on a square wheel/tire setup. OP, if you want to do the 9x19 square, I’d suggest a 255/35 all around and you get the added benefit of being able to rotate your tires front to rear. |

I stand by what I said. If you're looking to maintain the factory balance of the car, staggered by 20mm it is. If you're a track rat or just trying to get through the snow, that's something different. If you MUST have a square Summer set-up for the street, it's better to have 10" all the way around with 265. Notice the 255 (in the most popular tire) is not really wider, it's just taller... |
