Square 18" track set (M3e46+future M2)

Since the M2 is rather new there might not be alot of info regarding this, but what is the most popular 18x9.5" squared setup for trackdays for the M2?
Looking to buy a set to my M3 e46 and was hoping to carry them over to the M2 once I get hold of one, can not wait btw!!

Popular M3e46 sizes is 18x9.5" with ETs varying from 22-35 basically, should this fit nicely on a M2 you think?

Also if you have a squared setup please post pictures! Or post pictures anyways btw.

Taking in to account some of the fitment threads posted on this forum, for a "stock" M2 I am thinking 18x9.5 et 35 Apex EC-7's with 265/35/18 rubber and spacers up front to move the front wheels outward a bit.

I've got a set of 18x10 et 25 with 275/35/18 from the old e92 but it seems the stock M2 just isn't going to allow these like the e92 or M4 does. Bummer.

Crap I have a set of 18x10 ET25 with 285 slicks as well from my E90 M3, was hoping they would fit.

I'll take them... They fit my " old and slow " 1M..

I absolutely love running 285/30/18 square.


I believe that one vendor did manage to fit 18x10 all around on the M2 but the offset up front was quite different and spacers needed and they only put on 275s.

Faster M2 with smaller tires. Progress indeed.

9.5 or 10 will be most common. Ec-7 is good. Arc8's won't clear the brakes 😬

Oh well guess I need to order another set of EC7's and the old set will stay on the F80. I am running out of room in my garage for track wheels and tires!
