BMW G87 M2 Wheel & Tire Fitment Guide

Looking for the best wheel and tire fitment for your 2023-current G87 M2? Our M2 fitment guide outlines the best options for every type of M2 whether you’re looking for an upgrade over the stock wheels or an aggressive track fitment with wide, meaty tires. Apex Forged wheels like the ML-10RT, VS-5RS , and SM-10RS provide a substantial increase in performance over the stock configuration as well as additional benefits including non-staggered diameter tire options. Our Flow Formed SM-10s provide a value option perfect for M2 owners looking for a winter fitment without the Dealership markup and poor tire availability of the OEM options. Our wheels are optimized to clear the large factory brakes that are equipped on the M2 even in our 18” M2 track fitment available in our VS-5RS design. If you have a non-M G42 2 series, head over to our BMW G42 2 Series Wheel & Tire Fitment Guide to get your ideal fitment.

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.

These fitments focus on ease of use and fitment. While they do offer increased performance through weight savings and/or tire model availability, fitment is prioritized. Our stagged 10" front/11" rear G87 M2 fitment allows owners to reuse their stock tires on new lighter and wider forged wheels. The additional width of this fitment is perfect for upgrading to wider tires in the future.

These fitments prioritize appearance and aesthetics over pure performance. These setups do often still increase performance relative to the stock wheels, but use larger diameter wheels with lower offsets to fully fill the front and rear fenders. While 19" diameter Apex G87 wheels clear any of the factory brakes equipped on the M2, Our 20" fitments are a fantastic option for those who prefer larger wheels without the significant weight penalty of other aftermarket options.

These fitments are our most popular options for G87 M2 owners. They offer a substantial increase in performance and tire width without requiring major modifications in most cases. Dual-duty fitments are the goal here with tire options like ultra high performance summer tires or 200TW track compounds being used to get more consistent on track performance and better laptimes while still being streetable.

This section is for enthusiasts seeking the most straight-line traction possible from their high HP build. If you don't mind sacrificing a little handling to get it, our drag fitments are the answer. They also feature our high friction paintless knurled beads, a fully street-legal alternative to beadlock wheels, which helps prevent tire slippage under heavy load. These fitments are not recommended for cold or wet conditions but they are perfect for G87 M2 owners looking to minimize 1/4 and 1/8 mile times without custom wheels.
