Looking for fitment advice for your 2016 - 2021 F87 BMW M2? Our M2 fitment guide has vehicle-specific wheel and tire size recommendations that allow you to run wider tires and increase performance on and off the track. This guide covers all models of the F87 BMW M2 including the base N55 powered OG M2 as well as the S55 powered M2 Competition and M2 CS models. From OEM+ setups that emulate the factory 437M and 763M wheel fitments to aggressive wheel widths that require significant modifications, there’s an Apex M2 wheel spec for your needs. Our Forged wheels provide a lightweight track-oriented option including our popular VS-5RS, EC-7RS and SM-10RS. M2 owners looking for a more affordable option that still offers wide tire fitments with chassis-specific features can run our Flow Formed wheels - ARC-8s, EC-7s, or SM-10s. If you’re looking for fitment notes on the standard F2X non-M 2 series, check out our BMW F22 F23 2 Series Wheel & Tire Fitment Guide.
Brake Clearance Information
In the engineering phase of wheel development we 3D scan factory brakes and review 2D aftermarket brake templates in order to optimize our barrel profiles and spoke curvatures. As a result, our wheels offer massive brake clearance so you can run the smallest possible wheel diameter.

Easy upgrades for street-driven cars
These bolt-on wheel fitments are ideal for the F87 M2 owner looking to reuse stock tires or run bolt-on staggered fitments. No changes are required to suspension or alignment and spacers are not required. All-season and summer street tires are typically run with these wheels.

The Essence of OEM
This fitment was specifically requested by the M2 community. These wheels are nearly identical in terms of width & offset to the 19x9 ET29 Front and 19x10 ET40 rear 437M wheels standard on the M2 and are a great option for M2 owners looking to reuse OE tires or update the look of their M2 with a more optimized interpretation of BMW's 763m M2 CS wheel.

Aggressive fitments focused on appearance
These fitments are ideal for those who prioritize an aggressive stance and look. While these setups can still perform, these wheel fitments focus on a flush look and larger diameter wheels. All-season and summer street tires are popular choices once again.

Wider fitments for enhanced performance
These are our most popular M2 fitments perfect for drivers that want a substantial increase in wheel and tire width over stock without the compromise of having to heavily modify the car. Some modifications may be needed depending on the tires and wheels run. These fitments offer a dual-duty option for those who want to use these wheels on the street and drive to the track for an HPDE day. Square fitments let drivers rotate wheels between the front and rear axles to save on tire wear while our staggered fitments take full advantage of the extra room within the wheelwells. Summer and Extreme Performance tires are what we recommend for these wheel fitments.
Square Configurations
Recommended for enthusiasts that want to mitigate understeer and rotate tires front & rear for extended life. Square configurations may compromise rear-end grip when compared to staggered configurations.

Staggered Configurations
Recommended for enthusiasts that prioritize rear end grip/traction. Wheels and tires cannot be rotated front to rear and large staggers may induce understeer.

Track focused fitments that require significant modifications
These fitments prioritize on-track performance and consumable management over ease of fitment. While some of these fitments are direct fit options, all of them are track-worthy options. Many require modifications including alignment changes, alternate aftermarket brakes or aftermarket suspension. Reducing rotational mass is a key consideration with these fitments. Support for wide aggressive track track tires is arguably the most important aspect for many of these fitments. F87 M2 specific issues including 2NH brake clearance and tight front wheel fitment are addressed either through modification or wheel choice.

Each of our wheel designs is available in two or three different levels of concavity, which we call Profiles. The Profile is dictated by the width and offset, meaning wide lower-offset wheels will have more concavity, while narrow higher-offset wheels will have less concavity.
If you’re using coilovers, see the image below to identify which type of coilover spring you have, as it may effect your wheel fitment.
About Camber Plates
Adjustable camber plates do more than just aid in wide wheel and tire fitment. They provide increased grip and reduced tire wear by spreading the load evenly during cornering. Learn more in our blog article, The Positives of Negative Camber
