2015 M235i bought 19"s and have a couple questions
About a year ago I bought this M235i and it came stock with the Michelin Pilot SS's and 18" staggered wheels. I came across a wheel shop down in LA, while searching the web a few nights ago and ended up ordering a set of MRR GF9 in Matte Black.
I will post a pic here of the M235i when I got it, how it looks now, was a little dirty from the dirt parking lot at my work. I had the windows tinted (I know the film looks terrible, Im working on it) A pic of the wheels I bought and the picture of what those wheels looked like on an Audi, and the invoice which says absolutely nothing of value about the important stuff such as offsets, tire sizes to look for, or if I need to get hub centric rings. I sent the orders dept a email this morning at the time they open and didn't get a response all day. However they did manage to get the wrong finish on the invoice, so I asked in the email to clarify whether matte black or glossy. 1.) How do I go about figuring out which tire sizes to get for wheels that are F 19x8.5, R 19x9.5 I haven't a clue where to begin 2.) What other parts will I need to find? Hub centric rings, spacers? Spacers with lugs in them? I know I need TP sensors. In the fine print it said nothing except wheels included So I thought I'd ask some knowledgeable BMW owners about it. If anyone has any insight for me that would be awesome, I am trying to absorb as much as I can about this car. My first BMW was a 1992 318IS and that car was tough as a tank and never let me down. I knew I'd be a lifelong BMW driver from then on. Thanks in advance to anyone who reads this whole thing, sry for the novel, Im a newbie here |

Depends on your offsets. If the fronts are 35 or less, then you're pretty much stuck with 225s. Rears will do 265s if you're around a 45 offset, otherwise 255 if anything lower.

Ok, makes sense then. I did a ton of looking online and trying out different tire/wheel calculators. Seems this series has very limited fitment options, such a pain to find any info online about them yet.
