Looking at new rims...
OK, So I purchased Style 325's from an '11 M version. What size tires do I need to run to keep from rubbing?

standard size on the front (225/40/18), 255/35/18 or maybe 265 or 275 on the rear depending on what you like. maybe a small spacer is needed to match the front

try the tyre pressure monitor reset knob in the lower center console (next tot he DSC button). hopefully it has something to do with the different circumfence of the wheels

the lower the offset number the more they will stick out. Works for deep dish stlye alloys well but not if they have a flat face they will ook like the cars on stilts. just my opinion
here i always use this but really if they dont fit..MAKE THEM !!!!

I don't have any tpms sensors, and haven't in over 20 thousand miles. That light isn't even on.vester86 wrote:try the tyre pressure monitor reset knob in the lower center console (next tot he DSC button). hopefully it has something to do with the different circumfence of the wheels

true, the e85 does that by checking the abs sensorsmontero1 wrote:I don't have any tpms sensors, and haven't in over 20 thousand miles.

Is it possible the light will go off after time? Is there a way to reset the light?

i run an 8.5" et 28 up front... 235/ 40 aspect ratio tyre..... and i can confirm this low offset needs a significant amount of -ve camber & very stiff suspension ( in my case club sport 3 way dampers) , I've built my car around proper hard use , sprint circuit use and using full suspension compression and numerous wheel setups, rub is not acceptable ( imo anyway) . Without said changes from what i can see this would probably cause quite alot of damage if used as intended..
i know I'm talking ///M car but the fronts on both models i believe can handle the same widths???
based on my experience sub 30 offsets really should be avoided unless your going for a stance type of looked tyre with a stretch or a track biased setup with a correct sized tyre and suitable suspension and geo setup as above...
