BEST BMW m235i Wheel Setup| Square vs Staggered
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 24 июл 2024
- Thinking about a wheel upgrade for your BMW? I would say that the first thing to consider is if you want a staggered or square setup. Then figuring out how much space you have in the wheel well to determine the wheel width, and lastly, do you need to adjust for camber or caster?
Once you have that all figured out then start your search. Happy shopping and please share what setup you have planned for your car in the comment section.

Congrats on finally getting the wheels! Looks great!
Thank you. 🙏
just ordered 19x8.5 rotiform rse for my m235i. i was debating on getting 19x9.5 in the back but i really like how flush they look on your car. great vid!
Thanks you! What color is your car and wheels?
Looks dope bro. The bronze color fits nicely with Estoril Blue.
Thank you. I think the flat accents help the blue pop more
Hey Fritz, I'm running a very similar setup on M240i. Same wheel specs and same tire *width*, with OEM shocks on H&R springs and Millway camber plates. However, I'm running 245/*40*/18 tires, and I think it's a worthwhile increase in sidewall. I've busted quite a few rear tires over the life of my car, but never a front, and I think the extra sidewall is to thank for that, which is why I went 245/40 for my new setup (especially with stiffer springs in the mix). My speedometer actually reads almost perfect compared to GPS, where it was a few percent fast before, though the odometer is slow now.
Hey Fritz, Have you been able to fit BMW center caps into the wheels?
Do you think there will be rubbing with 18x 8 et40mm wheels with 245/40r18 all around? Also do I have to do the adjustments that you made?
You might be okay. I would suggest making the adjustments because there is minimal space on the 2 series.
Hi love the channel. I just wanted the ask. I have the same car and has some water coming in the passenger footwells. I cleared out the passenger bonnet drain and the front water stopped. However during this I never checked the rear. Turns out there was water there too. I have tried to take out as much as I can and can’t tell if more water is coming in. Do you think it is old water that just needs cleaning?
If you have no new water in the front then it probably just rolled back there
Fritz Ramos Thanks.
Hi Fritz, I just got aodhan AFF7 staggered set for my m235i, but my rear wheels (18x9.5 et 35)stand out a little bit. Will the rear wheels hit my rear fender? I didn't get any modification for my suspension. Thanks!
i had 19x9x10 on my m135i, et29x44. didn't rub my fender at all but need to go -1 front and -1.5 rear camber. 235/35/19 front and 255/35/19 rear, i'm currently on stock suspension.
Hey Fritz, since this video is almost a year ago, how was your experience running 4s, did you run them all year or did you swap them out in winter?
I live in the bayarea and was wondering whether these should be good for driving around bayarea all year round?
Bro you can run summers all year round in Cali.
yeah thats what i ended up doing and my rear tires are already due for replacement lol
Hey Fritz, I'm thinking of putting 245/40/17 wheels on my 2 series. Not sure whether to go with the 35 or 45 offset for a square setup. Any recommendations?
That tire setup will work no problem. On the 8.5 in width wheel a 35 offset is already close, according to Apex 37 is the max without spacers.
@@FritzRamos I'm looking at a 8" width rim. So 35 or 45 offset?
@@jasonyang3589 35
Hey mate. I have the same car, running Pilot Sport 5's. All factory sizes. So can I buy this set of 8.5x18 et35, that I have found that I love? I will just put the 225/40/18 on the 8.5in rim. I know it's a bit stretched, but I will then just get the 245/35/18 once they have worn out. I am just running standard suspension, unlike you. So do you think 8.5in with a 35 offset will be fine? I do have spacers, which I used to make the stock wheel we both had, to sit flush. I am hoping to not have to use them on the front, so the wheel still sits flush and doesn't poke out. When I do wheel offset calculator, is says I will lose 3mm of gap between the strut and wheel, and poke out 22mm further (which should mean I can lose the front spacer all together). I just want to know if you think an 8.5in wide with 35 offset will clear my bog standard suspension. So all the same wheel swap you have done, just without changing the suspension etc, like you have done. Would love to know what you think?
Thank you very much, I have subscribed and watch and like all your vids. Cheers, David from NZ
Running 18 x 8.5 et35 should be fine on stock suspension with 225. 245 might be a bit tight and with spacers you'll have to pay attention to the outer wheel well clearance.
If you haven't seen the fitment guide, perhaps this can help: ruclips.net/video/BWFYvM419Ew/видео.html
@@FritzRamos Okidoki, thank you Fritz. Love your channel. Mine is actually an M135i with a N55, but they are just the same car but in hatchback form. They share the same wheels and everything. I wonder with all the cool mods you have done to your M235i, whether it is actually better than a stock M2 now. Have you driven one to compare?
I love your GTS hood. Did you have to get it painted to match, or can you get one in the same blue we both have, already painted from BMW?
@@FritzRamos I was sad to see your Aodhan rim get bent in mate. That would have sucked. Do you think that's cos it was a cheaper brand, or was it just such a big bump, that even a BBS would have dented like that? Did you put a bubble in your tyre's sidewall, or did the tyre survive intact? Cheers from NZ
Hey Fritz subscriber here, I haven't found a video by you about it so figured I'd ask. I'm looking to track my M235i xdrive, so I'd like to put the widest wheels and tires possible on my car. I also want to lower my car either by lowering springs or coilovers..but my M235i has the auto dampening suspension and I'm finding conflicting info when people put lowering springs or coilovers on the M235i's with this specific suspension.
(1) Does your car have the auto dampening suspension as well?
(2) Do you have coilovers, or lowering springs, or is it still stock ride height?
(3) Do you know a reputable company that sells coilovers or lowering springs-(preferably a company where I can speak with a human that can answer my questions)
*Note: this is my first BMW and I just don't know where to start, all of my tracking and upgrading experience is with my 350z that I made a track car out of. Thanks for your time in advance!
Hey Derrick! Welcome to the BMW community! We have similar tastes both in the m235i and our previous cars (I has a G37s).
The setup I have is the widest you can go on a square setup without running spacers. You can also look up Apex's fitment guide for the f22.
All m235i's should have EDC and if you are going to go with springs, I would recommend MSS. For coilovers I would say KW DDC or Bilstein B16. All these options are compatible with the EDC. If you want to code out the EDC, I would say the KW V2 is a good budget option unless you want to go all out then you can do the club sports.
The only issue is these are on backorder like crazzzzzzzy! I've been waiting for mine for over 2 months now. Hope that helps.
I’m running a 255 square on the same exact wheel sizing setup, wasn’t impossible to fit!
Are you using spacers or a different amount of camber?
How? All guides said there will be rubbing
@@FritzRamos 5 mm spacer in the front to clear the KW club sports i ram, and -2.5 camber front
For RWD, my car’s factory setup is 225/50/18 for front and 245/45/18 for rear.
I have some buddies run square setup with 245/45/18.
If front and rear rims have Different offset, can you still do tire rotation??
I don't think that's a stock set up. That sounds very extreme for the front 225/50/18 & 245/45/18 Such a tall sidewalls.
How did you have no rubbing issues? From my understanding 40 & 35 would be better on all fitment guides.
@@MrVuittonDon He was mistaken, 18x7.5+45 on 225/40/18f, and 18x8+52 on 245/35/18r is stock. I run 18x8.5+35 on 245/40/18, rubs if you try to make it but never under normal or high-performance driving.
How much are does wheels ?
HOPE ALL IS WELL, I read A FEW wheel/tire fitment guideS for the F22. I wanted to ask a question about the follow suggestion below;
235/40-18 tires can be a direct fit, but its strongly suggested dialing in front and rear negative camber to prevent rubbing. Amount of camber varies depending on tire brand and ride height apparently.
Is this front and rear negative camber possible without lower control arms or thrust arms? I have stock height on my vehicle. I am not interested in any spacers or rolling my fenders back at all.
Thinking of running Continental ExtremeContact DWS06 PLUS tires on 18x8.5 wheels.
Please help with some insight.
If you plan to do coilovers, I would spend the extra money for camber plates, it'll give you the necessary adjustment and cheaper than control arms
👌
Thank you
will 18x8.5 et35 square setup work with hr sport lowering springs ?
It works just fine for me. I'm on the same wheels with 245/40/18 Contis. I'm running camber plates up front to be sure, but the setup is great for me so far
Tires are PS4 and not 4S (as named in description), right ?!
Receipt says 4S
how many options do I have without adjusting the camber/caster?
On a square or staggered setup?
Fritz Ramos squared!
@@matthewpark8596 Are you willing to go to a 225 tire?
@@FritzRamos will a squared set up not be good for 245 all around?
@@radiomaster200 In what respect? So far I have no issues
