M3/M4 Style 437M Mounted on 2011 550i xdrive

F10 TTV8 · 11-08-2016, 01:56 PM

I bought a set of used Style 437M wheels off an M4. Fronts are 255/40-19, 9x19 ET29 & rears are 295/35-19, 10x19 ET40. I believe these will only fit early F10s, due to the caliper design.

Looks really nice, is it lowered or stock?

Thanks. I forgot to mention it has H&R Sport springs.

Looks great!

They look very nice. Grats!

Looks great.

Regarding the caliper clearance, I have only heard about clearing issues with the OEM M5 wheels on the 550i LCI fronts.

Damn that looks good. I was considering the same thing for mine. Glad to know it works so well!

Very nice!

I believe the Style 437M wheels have the same issue. If my front calipers didn't have this curved cutout, the wheels would not fit. There is only about 3mm of space between the caliper and wheel.

remmib · 11-13-2016, 12:30 PM

Ah, look at that. It's the first 437m I've seen on a 550i so good info.

souparkoul · 02-10-2017, 02:51 PM

Just got a 2016 550i and would like to install the 437M wheels on it. Are you saying they won't fit on the 2016 model year 550s?

Correct, you would probably need to run a 3mm spacer up front to clear the brake calipers.

whoa! look how tight the clearance is

souparkoul · 02-11-2017, 12:27 PM

Gotcha. Thanks for the info. You lowered yours a bit, too, right? I want to change my wheels out, but really debating what to do. How do you like the M5 exhaust on there? Is it still quite when cruising?

2012 no issue, correct?

Just curious if you've had any troubles with this setup? Looks great!
