So the wheels Im looking at have custom offsets you can chose though they still seem to be a bit aggressive fronts are no problem 19x8.5 et14-52 is available
but the highest offset rear is 19x9.5 et42

I had almost 10 sets of wheels over the last 5 years for my e92 in all different widths and offsets , Im not new to this. But I have no experience with a f22 as Ive only had mine for a little over a month so I really want to ask those who have put wheels on their cars and knows the limitations a bit better

Im in between lowering on H&R sport Springs and KW V1s but I really wanna Keep my EDC features and Doesn't seem like a Sleeve kit will come out in the near future

I know e46m3lol is running H&R springs
19x8.5 et35 and 19x9.5 et45 (so they are only 3mm more aggressive then his, Can I make up with a smaller tire?)

And Icy J
19x8.5 +43, 19x9.5 +50

Im not sure what tires sizes either are using

I'm willing to go 245/30 or 245/35 in the rear to gain some more clearance wouldn't want less tire then that being that I don't wanna spin more then I already am lol

Does anyone know how much camber adjustment is avalaible in the rear with factory parts? I know GSR just confirmed the front can use F8x M3/M4 Front Lower Control Arms to gain camber in the front up to 1.8 Degrees but I don't think ill need it on the front with 225s

Before anyone says why not go higher offset and get wider tires, I am gonna get a set of 18'' Enkeis or similar to serve that purpose in the future but for know I am going for more looks and concave

Thanks in advance!

Bump!

I was thinking about going 19x9.5 et40 rear, and that might require 245/30/19

I know you can fit a 255/30 with 9.5 et45

I've been told by Apex wheels that the biggest they could fit on a M235i was 18x8.5 et45 front and a 18x9.5 et58 on the rear with 235/40/18 and 265/35/18 tires. I know you're looking at 19" but I imagine these measurements should carry over to a 19" wheel, you may just have to alter the tire size to make sure everything fits. Feel free to email or call them though, they may have more info on 19" sizing for the 2 series.

I believe you can get a good -2.0 (REAR) from the factory. For fine adjustment, I know Megan Racing carries rear camber arms for <$180. With 9.5 ET42 245/30 should be an easy fit. Fitting 255/30 will depend a bit on your ride height, camber, and tire selection. Personally, as long as you're willing to play with the camber specs a bit, 255/30 on 9.5 ET42 should be a fairly easy fit.

In our experience, 8.5 ET45 (FRONT) appeared to hit the strut (stock). This might be different with a coilover setup. So far I've seen 8.5 ET42 + 235 clear without issue. If you want something a bit more "flush", the majority of our customers are running 8.5 ET35 + 225.

With regards to the F8X lower control arm, keep in mind adding camber from this point only adds just a bit of wheel/tire clearance (near top of wheel/tire assembly by fender). As opposed to upper control arms and camber plates, which will have a greater influence on wheel/tire/fender clearance.

I don't see how pushing the wheel out adds clearance at the top. More camber, yes. More fender clearance? I don't think so. You need to push the strut top inwards to get more fender clearance.

Good point! As I was pointing out to OP, it's negligible > I.E. every -1 degree of camber (camber plate) can normally equate to ~3mm of fender clearance. -1 degree dialed in from the LCA, MAY equate to ~<1mm of fender clearance (IF THAT).

Upper arms/camber plates vs. LCA differ in where they pivot. Negative camber from upper adjustment, of course, would be best for gaining more fender clearance. Negative camber from LCA adjustment has a minute effect on fender clearance, though, still present.

Using a longer LCA can only decrease fender clearance, because you're pushing the wheel out (bottom more than top).

Very true! It depends, if you go too long it may push the whole wheel assembly out since you're increasing track. On some cars and suspension set ups, you can gain some clearance, on others, you can lose clearance.
