Anyone have experience in fitment of BMW 261 M sport alloy wheels on M235i Coupe (RWD)?

Specs:

18 X 7.5 +49
18 X 8.5 +52

M PSS - OEM (225-front/245-rear)

Our specs:

18 X 7.5 +45
18 X 8.0 +52

If my calculations are correct. Fitment would be <1/4" (closer to suspension struts).

Seems like it will be fine. The specs will be pretty conservative though. Are you planning on running spacers? The 261 M wheels will be more conservative in the front than your stock wheels. The rears will only extend 6mm over you stock wheels.

Thanks Brandon. Do you recommend spacers both front and rear? And if so, what size(s)?

I have the same wheel specs, I run 15mm spacer in front and 10mm rear, dropped on h&r springs

I think that the fitment in the post above looks spot on! ^^^
