Trying to run 11 inch rims at the rear, am i crazy?
Okay guys, so I have wanted these rims for a while but unfortunately they are not available in 10.5 width with proper offsets for our cars. So I have done some research and used the website below to check the following setup. Ive triple checked to make sure it all seems reasonable and I am on completely stock suspension. What do you guys think?
https://www.willtheyfit.com used to check fitment Wheel specs Apex SM10 19 x 9.5 +22 265/35/19 PS4S F 19 x 11 +44 (with 5 mm spacer, so effectively +39) 285/35/19 PS4S R 5x120 |

It’ll work but be very tight to the fender under compression.
If it’s too close, just remove the spacer or run a 3mm spacer to set it right in between the fender and suspension. |

Call Apex and speak to Ryan. They are supremely knowledgeable about all things regarding tires/wheels.

At ET39 you are running about 11-12mm wider than stock. Bunch of people run 10-15mm spacer in the rear so you are not entering uncharted territory. This shouldn't be too difficult to fit with the right tire, camber, and ride height.
But I don't have personal experience with this so contacting Apex would be the safest. Edit: I just noticed your tire size. No, that's not the right tire. 295/30/19 would be better. |

it'll look a little off with different height tires but this also depends on what type of tires you get

The 19 x 11 +44 will work fine with the 295/30 (it's close, but you can camber the difference).
If you MUST use that spacer, I recommend that you go with a 285/30 on the rear, which will crown a bit, but work much easier. Your front tire size is wrong as well, should be a 265/30 at the widest, but at +22 you're probably going to have issues without dropping it pretty low or cambering it, so consider a 255/35 with a more rounded shoulder. Just remember this: Perfection is: 19 x 9.5 +28 w/ 265/30/19 19 x 10.5 +43 w/ 285/30/19 You're not far off those specs. |

I am running 285/30 19 on a 10J 34ET rim and the tyre is slightly (1mm) poking out from the fender.
Your 11J 44ET setup will poke out 3mm more than mine and with the 5mm spacer, 8mm pokier. Add to the fact that you want to go 35 profile which is about 1.5cm taller in radius, 3cm taller in overall height... I just don't see how it will not rub under heavy suspension compression. To make a 11J work on a 285/35 setup you need to throw out the spacer and go with a 48+ ET Perhaps you can camber out the rub but you will lose straight line traction as a result and couple with excessive inner tyre wear if the car is mostly street driven |

I helped a customer a while back with a unique 19"/18" combination. He was running 18x11 ET44 EC-7s in the rear with 19x9.5 ET28 in the front to clear the M2 Comp. brakes. Rear tires were 305/35-18 Nitto NT01s. It fit, but I believe he was running a bit of additional negative camber in the rear to make it work.
VisualEcho makes a very good point about the front fitment as well... 19x9.5 ET22 is a lower than ideal offset and will require camber and/or tire stretching to fit in most cases. The 19x11 ET44 wheel size can definitely work although running slightly stretched 285 or 295 section tires will definitely make it easier. I would not recommend running a spacer as it's just going to reduce fender clearance. I'll see if I can dig up photos of the 18x11 ET44s on an M2 although if I remember correctly the images weren't the best as far as figuring out rear fitment goes. Edit: Images added Specs: Front: 19x9.5 ET28 EC-7s with 255/30-19 Michelin PS4S (stretched) Rear: 18x11 ET44 EC-7s with 305/30-19 Nitto NT01s Not a fitment I would recommend for most people but it worked for this individual. Hope this helps! -Tom

18" are a bit different, just as 20" is, so no, I'm not exact on the specs for those sizes. Search for a thread here on Bimmerpost called "max rubber on the m2", I think it'll have the answers you need.

You really shouldn't need the spacer in the rear. Front 22 is also pretty aggressive for a 265/35 and may rub a little.
I ran a 305/30/19 on a 19x11 et40. Was too much poke for me. See below... |

Would like to know more about this, thinking of running 19x11 et37 with 285/35/19 ... aftermarket coils? Camber? Any advice would be appreciated.
