Who is running wheels?

HX_Guy · 08-25-2014, 05:07 PM

Looks pretty good! What's the offset on the wheel and are you using any spacers?

ciwhamc · 08-25-2014, 05:07 PM

Et 45. No spacers

Still running 225 front and 245 rear.

HX_Guy · 08-25-2014, 05:10 PM

Very nice, I saw on TireRack.com that they are about 1.5lbs per wheel lighter than stock too, notice any difference in steering or anything or is that too little of a difference in weight to notice?

I was looking at a similar style wheel, the Avarus AV8.

ciwhamc · 08-25-2014, 05:32 PM

I did not notice a difference. I think the weight was too close to feel much.

I got a deal on them so they were much cheaper than the list price on tirerack.

Awesome! Glad to see more and more additions to this thread. Keep them coming!

Not mine, but nice to see someone rocking some BBS CH-R!

triplezoom · 08-27-2014, 12:24 PM

Unfortunately I don't. Judging by the second photo, the fronts seem to be 18x9.0.

HX_Guy · 08-27-2014, 12:31 PM

Definitely looks like 18s but TireRack doesn't show an 18" CH-R for the M235, only 19". Could be they just don't have it for sale or seeing that it looks like they are in Europe, they could be more options over there.

Bee Pee · 08-28-2014, 06:03 PM

HX Guy,

in uk we can get bmw fitment ch-r in 18" as follows

8" wide and 40mm et
9" wide and 44mm et

escobar929 · 08-28-2014, 06:48 PM

The tire size says 225/40 so it's likely they're 18s

e46m3lol · 08-29-2014, 01:51 AM

18x8 et35
18x9 et35

Bee Pee · 09-03-2014, 08:52 AM

Those are Apex EC-7 not BBS wheels. The owner put the BBS sticker on them. They wheels do look great though!

This is the first wheel setup on a M235i I really love to watch, I've seen a lot of wheel setups on this car but none of them convinced me.

The 19" V710s in gun metal combined with the lowered suspension work in perfect harmony, perfect stance!

What suspension did you get here?

There's actually quite a few others who are running 8.5 ET40 FRONT >

ET45 (in about 99% of cases) appears to hit the strut. ET45 + 3mm spacer is an easy remedy. The guy above is running 235/35 (FRONT). Most, however, have gone with 225/35.

225 might work but anything close to 245 won't on et40 i think

For anyone that has the Sparco Pro Corsa wheels, will a bmw wheel center cap fit that wheel, if so, what size?
