What combo of staggered wheels fit best on M roadster with stock suspension and alignment settings with -2.0* front and -1.5* rear? Looking to fit 245/40 and 275/35 extreme summer compound e.g. RS-4 or Star Specs without fender rolling or spacers. The more flush the better but don’t want undue stress on the hub lips neither. Fronts: 18x9.0 et30 / 18x9.5 et35 / 18x9.5 et28 Rears: 18x9.5 et22 / 18x10 et25 Last edited by 3002 tii; 05-13-2018 at 09:18 PM.. |

We would recommend the following fitment for your application: Front: 18x8.5" ET35 - 235/40-18 Rear: 18x9.5 ET22 - 275/35-18 OR Front: 18x9" ET30 - 235/40-18 Rear: 18x10" ET25 - 275/35-18 Please keep in mind that with the 18x9 ET30/18x10 ET25 fitment, a 245/40-18 tire is not recommended. That tire is a bit too tall and might cause extra headache when it comes to front clearance. We would recommend sticking with a 235/40-18 tire for optimum fitment on your M Roadster! A 275/35-18 in the rear should clear in the rear given your current camber at -1.5˚ but we cannot guarantee this, as every car is a bit different. Ride height and tire compound can play a roll in clearance to the fenders. The 18x8.5 ET35 and 18x9.5 ET22 fitment listed above will be a direct fit for your application and will not require spacers or fender work, provided that you stick with the tire sizes we have outlined. Below is a photo of this setup with our EC-7 wheels for reference: I hope this information was helpful. If you have any further questions, feel free to reach out to us! - Max

Apologies on the 245/40-18 recommendation above. This tire size can work but will not be a direct fit on the 18x9 ET30 and will require some camber to aid in fitment. We would recommend the 18x9 ET30 to pair with the 255/35-18 or a 245/40-18. Camber is required for both of these tire fitments (-2.2˚ and -1.8˚ respectively). We have had quite a few enthusiasts who have managed to run our 18x9.5 ET35 up front and the 18x10 ET25 in the rear. You will need to use a 5mm spacer and about -2.2˚ camber up front to clear the suspension and the fender. Camber will vary based on ride height and tire compound. For this setup we would recommend the 255/35-18 up front and a 275/35-18 in the rear for optimal sidewall support. The 275/35-18 will clear in the rear without a fender roll unless you are running at a lower ride height but camber is required. In that case, we would recommend maxing out the stock camber arms or rolling the rear fenders to aid in clearance. - Max

245/40/18 fits without rub on Z4 Ms on stock camber. I fit a set on 18" x 8.5" ET 35 (not Apex, sorry) up front at stock camber settings and it works just fine. For an OE fit without stretching tires, the 8.5" ET35 is the most ideal fit.
245/40/18 also fits fine without rub on 18" x 9" ET 30, although I can't say without camber. That's what I'm running right out on my spare set of OE rears up front at -3º camber. Tires are stretched enough where if I were to drop the tire with wheels on a flat ground, it would contact the rim. 255 would be a better size to run to afford some minor protection to the rim. Say hi to Eddie for me, I had dinner with him and Patrick about a month ago at Buttonwillow.

Do you think there’s any adverse effects on handling by running mismatched diameters, e.g. taller tires in rear by +0.3” relative to fronts? |

245/40/R18 nominal width is 8.5”. On 9” rims it doesn’t look stretched, but the RSR-Rs has zero rim protection so the slightly (0.5”) wider rim when laid flat, the metal of the rim touches the ground.
