Details of modified 2009 BMW M3

– Will the wheels 18x9.5 22 offset with P 265/35 R18 tires fit on a 2009 BMW M3?

– Yes, they will fit. As you can see from the pics this 2009 BMW M3 is running APEX ARC-8 18x9.5 with 6.12” backspacing and Hankook TD P 265/35 R18 tires.

JRZ Suspension (actually the front is not on JRZ in these two pics. The front is stock damper, H&R Race lowering spring, and GC camber street plates. JRZ fronts are going back on on Monday.)

No problems at all with 295/30/18 in the rear. (That was my first time on TD tires. They are unbelievable in terms of how much grip they have. Incredible.) These wheels have seen around 20 punishing track days. They've tasted desert-----ahem----a few times. I've done several drift days on these wheels. They have to deal with the forces of a big brake it. Actually the TD tires added another new element of force because of their grip. You should have seen the AP Racing calipers smoking when I came in after a 15 minute session, and they have dedicated race pads for the track. They ride berms frequently because the JRZ are so compliant on berms. They have been totally solid on the track. Never a hiccup. I have no hesitation at all recommending these wheels as great staple track wheels----light, strong, affordable. Is there a better combination for tracking?

Definitions

Wheel Offset

Refers to how your car’s or truck’s wheels and tires are mounted and sit in the wheel wells.

– Zero wheel offset is when the hub mounting surface is in line with the centerline of the wheel.
– Positive wheel offset is when the hub mounting surface is in front (more toward the street side) of the centerline of the wheel. Most wheels on front-wheel drive cars and newer rear-drive vehicles have positive offset.
– Negative offset is when the hub mounting surface is behind the wheel centerline. “Deep dish” wheels are typically a negative offset.
