Does this mean the 668M will fit the m850i?

Most likely. They both run 8" fronts and 9" rears. The same tires: 245/35/20 and 275/30/20. The M850 offsets are 26 for the front and 41 for the rear. The M550 offsets are 30 for the front and 44 for the rear, so there is a difference, but not really enough to worry about. Your 668s will sit 4mm and 3mm closer to the strut - which means you are sucking the wheel in a bit and decreasing your stance. Maybe add spacers? The 668Ms look great, but there are a lot of posts on the G30 forum about them being easily damaged by potholes. I personally think the OEM wheels are too small for a car the size of an M850. It's long and heavy. I just went to a 9" front wheel and a 10.5" rear wheel. The tire widths went from 245 to 255 and 275 to 285. The M5 and M8 run 285 in the rear, but with a 35 profile. The 285 with a 30 profile is a bit stretched, so I am going up to 295 tomorrow. The wider tires have really helped the cornering performance. A lot. I miss my two M5s even less now. |
