M alloys 191M E83 19 mounted on F25 X3 35d M Priority safety hardware for sports


Recommended Posts

Good day, everyone.
Coming soon, I will have an F25 X3 35d M Sport with 20 310M tires and runflats.
I could like the design even if I despise the ride quality (no adaptable suspension).

Staggered set of E83 standard 191M alloys; front-to-back offset is 8 mm, rear-to-back is 3 mm; so, the 191Ms would fit within the arches (although, I'm not sure whether the distance between the hub and the arch is the same for E83 and F25—anyone?).

With 10 mm up front and 5 mm behind, all four would sit 2 mm apart from regular wheels.
Is it okay to use shims here? If the offset is 2 mm off-center, it should still appear OK. The weight rating on the 191Ms should be OK since the E83 and F25 are almost identical in weight. The refurbisher has assured me that I will receive the right bolt length, M14s, and that the head will fit the 191Ms.

I need persuading on this, so any advise would be fantastic. Safety first, of course.
Are the bolts on shims really so lengthy and potentially dangerous?
Yours truly. I have reserved the refurbed alloys, therefore this is a serious inquiry.
I had planned to mount (BMW-starred) Bridgestone Turanza 6 XLoad tires on it.
Best regards

The bolt diameters of the e and f series wheels are different; I have never used either size before; perhaps this is an issue, but I am not sure. despite the fact that I once attempted to attach an e-series bolt to an f-series, and the bolt ended up in the wheel's alloy bolt hole; perhaps I was exaggerating the situation.

I am confidently going to install 10 and 15mm on my vehicle. Be sure that they are centric, meaning that there is room on the hub for the wheel to attach to the centre ring. Don't stress about 2mm; no one else will notice or know.

Try out several models and adjust the studs, pitch, rim size, offset, and jj to your liking. Specifications for wheels and tyre sizes for all BMW models


By comparing the old and new, as well as their positions on the rim and hub, this one is fantastic. Tyre and Alloy Wheel Fitment Estimator. Will They Fit? Offset, Tyre Stretch, and Speedo Error

This one is for testing the compatibility of your geometry with the new wheel.
