HELP: Why won't these fit my F11?

MickyD'bo · 03-05-2014, 03:47 AM

Hi,

Can someone please educate me as to why these won't fit my 2013 F11?

I really love these wheels and I'm desperate to have a 20" staggered set of alloys on my touring.

Any advice and help will be very much appreciated.

Michael

what makes you think they wont?
the ebay wheel configurator isnt always right.

Igor_M5 · 03-05-2014, 09:02 AM

It'll fit just fine.

MELLOWYELLOW06 · 03-05-2014, 09:25 AM

They will fit. You may want to space them out but put them on first and see what size spacers you will need.
I would definitely go with a minimum 10mm spacer up front and that is not because of your car. F10 would benefit as well.

They're probably not listed since the F11 doesn't come with staggered wheels from factory.
But there's still room for the rears on the F11. The 20x10.5 ET38 rears will sit more aggressive than the 20x9 ET35 fronts.

Thanks for the replies so far guys. When you say they will sit more aggressively at ET 38, do you mean they will protrude further than the wheel arch?

So, are you pretty sure these will go straight on an M Sport F11 and not have brake or sill clearance issues?

If so I'm supper excited...

Just checked out the link and the ad states that they will fit a F10, am I missing something?

Have you called the seller?

Yeah I have an F11. Yes called the seller and he was saying he didn't think they would fit.

#confused.

But some on here seem pretty sure i'd be okay.

The original set up on an F11 is non-staggered. Something to do with the self levelling rear suspension.

Here a f11 with some 20x9 ET29 and 20x10.5 ET35 BBS wheels, thiose are 6mm more aggressive in the front and 3mm more aggressive in the rear compared to the ones from ebay.

20" BBS CH-R wheels and Hartge springs.

OMG remmib, thanks for those pics. They look amazing. Do you think mine would need to be lowered with the 355M reps too?

Not sure I fancy playing about with lowering etc terrified of ruining the superb ride quality.

thanks again.

I like a drop, but that's all up to you. You don't have to drop it.

Tulsadetail · 03-05-2014, 08:32 PM

If you are hesitating to buy them then don't. You will regret later when you are trying to sell them because the didn't fit, had rubbing issues or have to use big spacers. To many other wheels out there.

Tulsadetail · 03-05-2014, 08:33 PM

Remmib, I am wanting a kW v3 kit for my f10 project. Do you sell? If so,pm me. Thanks

3rd party · 03-06-2014, 11:31 AM

remmib that is an interesting fence in the 3rd picture. Is there a reason for building it that way and does it have a name? The native posts are pretty unique because of their height as well.

In norwegian it's called a Skigard, that's all I know.

Sorry remm, i was asking if you sold KW kits, not if you were selling yours. haha.
