435i xDrive Gets OEM 437m Wheels & Gtechniq C5 Wheel Armour Ceramic Coating

Hello, today the 435i gets a set of OEM 437m wheels. In addition, four new Continental ExtremeContact Sport max performance summer tires alongside four new Huf TPMS sensors. I also applied a ceramic coating on the wheels called Gtechniq C5 Wheel Armour to allow for easy cleaning. Applying the cermaic coating is extremely simple. These wheels are forged and come off the M2/M3/M4s. Moreover, they compliment the 3/4 series vehicles very well and is a common set of OEM wheels BMW enthusiasts put on their 3/4 series. The tire & wheel specs are the following;
Skip to 6:27 for 437m wheels on the 435i.
Front Wheels: 19x9 +29 Offset / 21.9lbs each
Front Tires: 235/40/19
Rear Wheels: 19x10 +40 Offset / 22.5lbs each
Rear Tires: 265/35/19

Love the wheels. I’m in the process of purchasing a set for my f30.

[@slowcarfastmods]

You won’t be disappointed! The fitment is amazing and looks perfect.

[@musthakahamad]

Did u restored the 437 wheels for bent repair and powder coat paint after u bought from bimmer? Or u simply change the tyres without wheel repair ?

[@Trexide]

Is there anything you can do fix the rubbing with the front setup? Im planning on getting 437m I'm running stock OEM 403m m sport wheels 225/40/19 front and 255/35/19 rear and there is rubbing when reversing in full lock to the right

[@slowcarfastmods]

Hmmm the only way is probably down sizing the tires, but tbh the rubbing is minimal and I’d say this setup is perfect look wise with an inch or two of lowering!

[@Trexide]

@@slowcarfastmods Ah i see thanks

[@chriskamen2152]

Why such a small tire with such a wide rim? Is theirs a performance reason l?

[@Bill-js8gf]

How is the treadwear on the extremecontact sport? Some report only getting 10k miles out these tires

[@slowcarfastmods]

Bill so far probably 85-90% tread still but only driven about 3.5k miles on them. 10~12k miles sound about right for these tires and that’s probably spirited/getting on it driving style. I’ll get about 15k for me since I don’t track or drive hard on them that often, maybe once in a blue moon.

[@Bryann808]

How do you like the ride with the new wheels and tires? Curious but will that aspect ratio setup damage the xDrive system? I have a set coming in for my 440i.

[@slowcarfastmods]

The ride is super smooth with the new setup! In addition, some decent rim protection from the taller sidewalls on the tires from my previous setup. Also as long as the rolling diameter doesn't exceed 1% of oem spec there will be no damage to the xDrive system.

[@gelo2672]

Same exact question, I have the rims already but just afraid to put them on because I don’t want to mess up the xdrive system. My car is 2017 440i coupe and is completely stock and I have staggered 437m. If theres a chance that it can damage my system I will probably just sell them. I want the assurance that there is 0% chance fo damage them.

[@jrc6368]

@@gelo2672 I have a 435i with staggered 437 M wheels...However, when I installed them two weeks ago. The rear tires had an inch poke, it wasn't flush with the body. Did that happen to yours? My rims are 19x9 all the way around.

[@gelo2672]

@@jrc6368 My rims size are 19x9 front and 19x10 rear. Had it for about 10 months now and no problem at all. There is a poke on the rear but nothing too obnoxious. I actually really like it.

[@eckostar61]

Hows the staggered tire setup holding up on xdrive? Wanna do the same wheels

[@slowcarfastmods]

omar s no problems at all and feels really good since the xDrive system is rear wheel biased. I’d recommend this setup!

[@jrc6368]

How did you install those 437m on your 435i with no poke on the rear tires... I have a 435i and just purchased a set of staggered 437m that are 9 inch wide. Fronts fit perfect, However, on rear and they have about an inch poke. Please let me know what you did to prevent this. I love the 437M style and don't want to go with aftermarket. Hope to hear from either one of you or anyone who has this similar set up on their 435i.

[@slowcarfastmods]

Are they oem 437m wheels? The rears should be 19x10 with a +40 offset so they do poke out a little bit but i don’t mind it because it is still pretty flush

[@jrc6368]

@@slowcarfastmods I feel like an idiot. I bought the 435i for my son last year and got some oem wheels thinking they were the 437 M style but after looking at them closely and googling the number on the rims...they happen to be 623 M style. I guess I will have to sell them even if it's cheap and get the right rims. Thank you for your quick reply Slow Car Fast Mods.

[@slowcarfastmods]

@@jrc6368 ahhh I see it’s ok. They look super similar!

[@ProcTech]

Was thinking about doing the same setup. You think going 245/40 and 275/35 would help the sidewall profile? Or would it possibly rub?

[@slowcarfastmods]

Lee Xiong it would fill the wheels wells more for sure with the taller sidewall. I had a tiny amount of rubbing with full lock on the steering wheel while reversing with this setup. So with the taller sidewall you’re considering you’ll probably have a tiny bit more rubbing that I do at full lock reversing. I’d personally recommend Front 235/40 & Rear 265/35. This setup with a modest drop like 1.5~2inches will look amazing.

[@waikiki6969]

Just curious, shouldn’t the front tires be running on 235/35/19 to match the rear 265/30/19? 235/40/19 tire profile is rare where I came from.

[@jasonlin1316]

Did you experience any rubbing at full lock with the 235/40 fronts? Currently tried 235/35 but the spacing doesn’t look so great, though it doesn’t rub.

[@waikiki6969]

@@jasonlin1316 how’s your ride on these 235/35? It’s a little stretch on M4 rims hence I’m still contemplating if I should get it.

[@jasonlin1316]

@@waikiki6969 ride quality is great. got the PS4S and they're quite smooth. On the other hand I'm contemplating 235/40/19 for the thicker aesthetics though, was wondering if @Slow Car Fast Mods have experienced any rubbing with the 40?

[@slowcarfastmods]

The rears are 265/35/19. This is probably the best fitment with 437m wheels for F30/F32/F36! I’d totally recommend this setup.

[@slowcarfastmods]

@@jasonlin1316 replied to you inquiry! Just a little rubbing that goes away after awhile. Nothing major and can still be lowered. It looks great without lowered as well!

[@cyberwolf2730]

no problems at xdrive? I bought this size today

[@slowcarfastmods]

No problems at all work perfectly fine!

[@mcwico6518]

how's the drive ? since its xdrive you need to be less than 1% rolling diameter. I don't know how to calculate .

[@slowcarfastmods]

It drives amazing! Def can feel the rear wheel bias in the xdrive. Use this website to help you calculate the change in rolling diameter from your current setup to you new setup. www.willtheyfit.com

[@mcwico6518]

@@slowcarfastmods what do you mean by bias in the xdrive? a little jerking when the car drives?

[@slowcarfastmods]

@@mcwico6518 you can feel the rear wheels have a little bit more power sent to them instead of the front maybe a 40/60. 40% to the front and 60% to the rear

[@msheth1]

@@slowcarfastmods what was your stock 435i setup? If it was 18x8.5 +47 square, 225/45R18 tires - doesn't your setup make more than 1% rolling diameter change? I used the websites to calculate and front shows 1.65% and rears 1.26% - is that just close enough?

@@msheth1 yes the 18’s was my stock setup and everything runs fine with this current setup with the 437m wheels besides some rubbing at full wheel lock reversing.

AL it is not. Currently on stock xDrive height still. I plan on going with some Bilstein coil overs in the future!
