F31 SportLine LCI on 437m help

I want to buy 437m rims and I have a lot of fear that they won't work for me on my F31 LCI 2018. I'm interested in your opinions on whether it will be possible for me to have 437m rims on an F31 Xdrive with 235/40/19 265/35/19 tires without any other modifications. I want to put 437m rims and the size of these tires, of course, the car has factory springs Will I have problems with the 437m rims or bending the wheels so they don't hit the fenders

Yes they'll work

See post number 9 here: https://f30.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1624196

Tyre sizes needed:

xDrive - 235/40/19 & 265/35/19
sDrive - 245/35/19 & 265/35/19

There are pictures on that thread too - all you need to know

I saw pictures of people who put 437m on the F31, but I'm afraid that I won't succeed or that the tires will hit my fenders, mine is in sportline equipment, and everyone else on the forum is in the m package, so I'm afraid that I might have some problems
I uploaded photo from my F31 all is oem on my F31

F30 and F31 have same fenders. only the bumper is different between M-sport and other than M-sport. i have not read of problems with 235/40/19 on F30/31 but IF it rubs, the outer shoulder of the front tire will graze the front fenderwell liner while turning at or near full-lock.

the few instances members had rubbing using 235/40/19 @ ET29, occurred on unlowered F36 gran coupes which seem to have the smallest/tightest front fenderwell volume of the F3/4 series.

however, if you are still paranoid about the rubbing then get different wheels...

for 235/40/19+265/35/19 best rim specs are 19x8.5 ET32-35, 19x9.5 ET40-45

You have plenty of room; they'll fit with no issues

But they won't look the best due to your cars ride height; they look much better when the car has been lowered...

The only thing that matters to me is that I don't have a problem with my rims hit or hanging on the bumpers, I'm afraid of that because the rims are 1400 km away from me and I don't want to go that far and end up having problems, that's what I'm most afraid of

i'm not sure what you mean by "hit or hanging on the bumpers", because as i stated earlier, IF there's any interference, it will occur where the outside tire shoulder grazes front fenderwell liner at or near full lock.

stretching 225/40/19+255/35/19 would also assure no interference but your rims will have less impact, no curb protection and the wheel gaps will look even worse with the stretched tires at stock suspension height.

here's a post and thread of F31 with 437M. most are lowered, though.

I'm writing everything through google translator, that's why the text is not 100% correct. That's what I meant. The only thing I'm afraid of is that these 437m rims with 235/40/19 265/35/19 tires won't hit the fenders of the car or hang on the fenders.
My is Xdrive and i see this is best tyre size for Xdrive
Sorry but i dont know English so much

They won't - they will fit fine. You will not have any issues
