M235i Square and Staggered Setups

My 2015 M235i (non x-drive) sadly has a square tire setup with 225s all round; the Pirreli run flats. I was wondering if the staggered 225 and 245 PSS stock set up will fit my wheels.

In other words... Are all the 436m wheels the same specs on our cars despite some having square tire setups?

I believe that you have 4 18 x 7.5 wheels instead of 2 18 x 8 wheels in the rear. You also have a 130mph limiter instead of 155 mph.

No, square and staggered are completely different. No, the 245 PSS will not fit your 18x7 wheels.

Can your car fit the 436 staggered setup if you had the OEM wheels? Yes. Good thing a number of the owners are moving to aftermarket wheels. Check the classifieds here and you should be able to find a full set.

How did you end up with a square set up on your M235i. Did you check the box for all-season tires? My M235i is on order and I am assuming I am getting the staggered wheel/tires.

I think the dealer just ordered it that way. I tried to ask to swap wheels with another car but they said no because that's what comes with my car.

i opted for the BMW Mperformance wheels which are 20's, i couldnt find 19's. i believe they were worth the price and they are staggered. All of the M235i's with stock 18's should be staggered with 225 front 255 rear with no issues.

You may want to double check that. The M performance wheels you have pictured are 19's.

I've seen this set in both 19" and 20". BMW sells the 19" for the m235i and the 20" for the 3 series I believe.

How do the 20s fit and feel? I'm getting a set of these come spring.

They must be for the 3 series then. Weird that they would install unapproved sizing and offsets at the dealer.

Would that mean that M235i's with the square setup have 18x8.5s in the rear like the staggered M235i's?
