Are you looking for the best wheel and tire fitment for your 2022-current BMW G42 2 series? Our 2 series fitment guide is the best resource for finding performance wheel and tire fitments for your BMW. We produce purpose-built offsets that fit these coupes in square and staggered fitments that maximize the space under the stock fenders and offer fitments suited to both xDrive models as well as rear-wheel drive. We launched fitments for these wheels in our SM-10 Flow Formed Design. Our Forged VS-5RS and SM-10RS wheels were also specifically optimized for this chassis with more concavity and less weight than any prior G42 wheels. The wheel fitments in this guide apply to all models of 2 series including 218i, 220i, 230i, 230i xDrive, M240i, M240i xDrive coupes.

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 enthusiasts enjoying their car day-to-day on the street, and they are typically paired with all-season or performance-oriented summer tires. These wheel and tire configurations will improve the appearance and performance of the car without requiring modifications or adjustments to the factory alignment. Just bolt-on and enjoy!
While these wheel fitments can be used for track days and AutoX, performance will be left on the table. Drivers that prioritize performance should review our Performance Street & Track section below.
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.

Aggressive fitments focused on appearance
Ideal for the driver who wants to fill out the wheel wells with the widest possible rubber and/or perfectly flush offsets. These fitments are sometimes direct bolt-on, but oftentimes require small spacers, negative camber, or rolled fenders for the sake of dialing in the perfect blend of function and form.
Narrower tire sizes relative to wheel width are more common here to help move the tire sidewall away from the fenders with more aggressive offsets. Street-oriented all-season and summer tires are popular options.
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.

Wider fitments for enhanced performance
Whether you enjoy spirited street driving or you are a weekend track warrior chasing lap times, these wheel & tire configurations are ideal for enthusiasts looking for a more dramatic improvement in performance and they are typically paired with performance oriented summer tires or track oriented R-compounds.
The suspension type, alignment settings, and tire brand/size can be changed accordingly to set the car up for either environment. While many of these wheel fitments can be ran with the factory alignment, if you plan to track the car we highly recommended dialing in negative camber to improve handling and to extract the most performance and longevity out of your tires. See fitment notes under each tire configuration below to see if modifications are required.

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.
