Just got black 343M wheel

CVS23567 · 03-23-2016, 10:35 PM

[IMG][/IMG]Currently waiting for the Michelin PSS to delivery. Since I have the xDrive, I decide to run245/285 setup. Btw, weather here (Minnesota) is still below 60, which is not very appropriate for summer time I guess? I will wait for the good weather and then install them on my 535 .I'll post pic.

Quick question, I got a 2016 535i xDrive on order. Will the following tires work with the 343M rims on a xDrive car?

Wheels: 20x9 ET: 34 Front & 20x10 ET: 34 Rear
Tires:245/35/20 Front and 275/30/20?

245/275 is the OE setup for 535 if you use 20 rims. They fit 343M with no issues, but I think 245/285 is better since they have the same rotation diameter. Considering you have the xDrive model, you want that! Also, 285 protects the rear rims a little bit more than 275.

What is the OE setup for the 535i xDrive for 20 inch rims? 245/285?

No, it's 245/275 if you are using 8.5*20 as front and 9*20 as rear. (For example, the m performance wheel for 535i xDrive.)

Got it! So 245/285 should be perfect then. Thanks for the information!

2016BlkBimmer · 04-02-2016, 02:57 AM

So I am looking at the 343M rims on http://parts.bmwofsouthatlanta.com/s...rimLevel=11903

What is the difference between 36112284602 & 36112283401 one is 1093.25 & 1196.03.

One is silver and one is matte black. But I forgot which one is which...I need to further check my record since I don't want you to get the wrong one.

Btw, you should go to getbmwparts.com. For your two PNs, the price are 936 and 1024, respectively.

Got it, and that is 936 and 1024 per rim correct?

Not yet, I'm out of US right now

Will post pics after I come back!

CVS23567 · 04-13-2016, 12:26 PM

Just finished the installation. Let me wash my car, I'll post pics soon.

CVS23567 · 04-13-2016, 01:40 PM

Finally...pics!

My car is 15' F10 535i XDrive M sport.

1. 343M fits the model perfectly. The front caliper clearance is good. I have read from some of the posts saying that spacers may be required. But at least for this model, there is no need to use any spacer. For 550, you might probably need spacers considering the fact that it has larger calipers than 535. Everything is OE, btw.

Tires are Michelin PSS 245/285. Tire pressures are 36 all around. Just drove back, feels good. Much much more comfortable than those RF tires.

Handling and acceleration is improved due to the less weight of forged wheel and non-RF tires.

Yea, that's pretty much about it. Let me know if you need any help!
