Do you need the perfect wheel fitment for your 2020-current G80 or G81 M3? Our G80 and G81 Touring fitment guide covers all of the options we offer to increase wheel width and allow owners to run wide tires. These fitments are perfect for everything from customers looking to run staggered diameter wheels to reuse OE tires to fully track-ready 18” square fitments designed to lower laptimes. Our Forged G80 wheels reduce weight compared to the factory wheel sizes while upping wheel width and improving tire options. This includes our VS-5RS and SM-10RS. Our Flow Formed SM-10s offer affordable winter fitments for G80 or G81 owners that need more winter tire options. These wheel and tire fitments work for all models of G80 and G81 including Base, Competition Package, M3 CS, and also can be compatible with a number of M Performance Parts. If you’re interested in Apex wheels for your G20 or G21 3 series, head over to our BMW G20 G21 3 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.

Aggressive Street Wheel Fitment

Aggressive fitments focused on appearance

  • White BMW M3 - VS-5RS in Motorsport Gold
  • Grey BMW M3 - VS-5RS in Satin Bronze
  • Green BMW M3 - VS-5RS in Motorsport Gold
  • Green BMW M3 - VS-5RS in Satin Black

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.

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.

Concavity & Face Profiles

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.
