What wheel will fit front and rear of a 1M?

[Carlton Banks]

Hi guys

Will an e90 m3 front wheel fit my 1m both front and rear? Considering the 1m uses the common competition wheel set up I hope it will work......

Context- Started a thread a while back about 1m space savers due to a puncture.

Anyway, that plan will not be suitable.

So my back up plan is to use a suitable 19 inch front wheel from an e46 m3/e90 m3 / m3 CSL to keep as a spare wheel. Wondering if the offset and width will be suitable?

Any help appreciated.

I see no reason why it wouldn't work. I used a spacesaver from an E46 330d on my E46 M3 without a problem as it's 17" in size. AFAIK, you can use E9* M3 alloys on a 1M, so you should be ok.

Out of interest did you get anywhere with this? I've been wondering about the same issue and did consider getting one of the Winter Wheel + Tyres set-ups as I believe the wheels are the same on all four corners. I'm not sure what the diff would make of doing more than 50 miles on different rolling circumferences across the axle though if you were to end up with a rear puncture...

The diff shouldn't be affected as it only locks up under high torque loads. It remains open under normal loads.
