[Cloud IX]

*Update*

I've had this set up for a little over a week now and still have no issues. I have yet to rub my front or rears, and it's nice to know that if I run into any rubbing I can just roll the front fenders, but I don't think I will have to. Also, my M4 LCAs have finally arrived so I will be putting those on, which will give me some front camber, and an alignment will probably give me some rear camber as well.


Finally got them put on and they fit fine. No rubbing. No issues of any kind. No cutting, rolling or anything else.

Multiple vendors on here wanted to upcharge me 500+ dollars for "correct" offsets, but after doing the math, decided that the factory offsets would fit, and they do. There is a little bit of poke, but a lot of cash in my pocket for other mods.

Here are the specs.

Advant Garde M510s
19x8.5F +35ET 235/35/19
19x9.5R +40ET 265/30/19
Wrapped in Michelin Pilot Super Sports. Factory Suspension.

It's dark out now and I'll take some better pictures tomorrow.

any idea about what's the wheel weight ?

Yeah, on my scale the fronts were 26.1 pounds and the rears were 25.3.
I believe the MPSS weigh in around 25 pounds. A little heavy, good thing we got those Kosai track tires.

so the front is heavier than the rear ?

ya those are about 10lbs heavier than the Kosei's

The concavity must save weight.

So you are pretty much the very First car ever on this board to fit 265/235 MPSS with no mods at all, and u sure u drove them enough on lively loads conditions and have absolutely no Rubbing at all ?

[Mywifes335]

Wow, I'm impressed that you got the 235s to fit up front.

[Mywifes335]

I still can't wrap my head around those offsets... Mine are Front: 18x8.5 ET45 / Rear: 18x9.5 ET58.

I just put them and drove around 30 minutes and so far nothing. My driveway is on an incline with a speedbump sized bump at the bottom. I always take it sideways because I don't want to rub anything and right before the car is off the bump (I reverse out of my garage) only the front passenger tire is on the bump and the suspension is basically fully compressed. It did not rub there at all, and the front wheels were at full lock to that side.

The rears, I don't see how it is possible to rub on factory suspension. The 19s only added about 0.4 inches of height, so only 0.2 closer to the top of the wheel well. I still have over 2 inches of clearance, and when I put 3 people (almost 700 pounds) in the rear, the suspension sagged like an inch.

The fronts on the other hand, if I had any higher offset, they would probably rub on the strut. My finger could fit between the gap, and that was it. I'd say around 3-5mm max of space. A +40 in the front would probably hit the suspension with 235/35/19.

Your front ET is 10mm closer to the suspension then mine. Along with the 19" being slightly taller, meaning the clearance is slightly higher since the strut is angled.

I used this site to measure before buying.

I like how they diagram everything out.

nice very detailed

[Mywifes335]

Cool. Not sure why Apex supplied this offset for the 235....

So if I put a 5mm or 10mm spacer on, it should fit a 235/40-18...

Rear fits but I had to cut out the bottom half of the shock dust cover (plastic).

Wonder how is the strut going to hold overtime if you start getting debris into the strut shaft without the cover

[Cloud IX]

Once the car was back on the ground, I grabbed the strut cover and tried to make it touch the wheel. Even with me trying to make them touch, probably had a good 15mm before it would. Makes sense since you have 58 and I have 40. I think a 5mm spacer would have saved you from cutting the plastic cover.

I agree with you that a 10mm spacer would most likely let you run 235s for your set up in the front.

Probably the same reason I had to go with my offsets. It's the closest they have in offsets that are mass produced.

[ABPReader]

Do you plan to keep it like this or will you lower it ? Anyway, the car looks fantastic with these rims.

i'm Loving these real life expertise by you guys, you were my benchmark till CloudIX came up with this setup. it looks more efficient since he's wearing MPSS which have wider and fatter footprint and are superior to your tires, plus he did no cutting nowhere and most importantly he has 235 up front, that is huge in preventing under steer .

I just wonder why nobody did this since the M235i is out since 3 years now , all Vendors say our max setup is 255 R and 225 Front !

[M-tavo]

I have 19x8.5 et40 with 235/35 and 19x9.5 et45 with 265/30... hankooks tho... and on H&R Springs

I'm 100% sure you'll will rub with those specs if you lower your car. My car rubs on the fronts, nothing on the back.

[Alfonso235i]

Looks amazing! I have the same wheel setup and really want to get 235/265 when i need nee tires. Keep us updated of any rubbing issues.
Also, did you wrap your mirror covers and diffuser? Lol something i also want to do.
Thanks
