Adding to that, flush is subjective in the sense that generally, a little poke is still considered flush, while lots of poke promotes to hella flush (all technical terms in the non existent manual of flushness).

I read tons of threads and overwhelmingly 9.5+22 10.5+12 is referenced as good place
to start from when studying "flush" for this car. You then adjust from there taking into account your drop, camber etc and where on the spectrum of "flush" you want to be.

Well said! I agree 100% with this.

Another factor that I found is not all wheel companies measure wheel width the same way.

I just bought a set of wheels that were advertised as 19x9.5/10.5. This was the inner rim width, but that info was not listed in the ad. The wheels actually measure 10 3/8 wide fronts and 11.5 wide rears overall width, so be sure to verify which measurement is specified (inner rim width or overall rim width).

19x9.5+22 Front and 19x10.5+12 Rear on 265/35 and 305/30 with KW V3 will give you this

What tire are you running on this?

And does anyone know what specs on an 18" wheel/tire setup could reproduce this? (Yes I want the sidewall to be so meaty it would be the overall same diameter as this 19 setup)

Yeah but with a meaty sidewall you get more flex, roll & squish

, Unless it's all about the looks

I would be curious to know how 18s compare to 19s on a road course. My goals were to drop weight, maintain speedometer accuracy, and get this look.

I am very new to my 370 and my last car (e92 335i) saw a huge improvement switching to 18s.

Well it all depends on the tire you go with. When you had mentioned meaty sidewall, you are going to get less precise feel, whether you are going to go with 19" or 18". Stay lower profile & it will handle better when pushing the car in the twist & turns.

What wheels are those? They look classic.

This is a handy tool, click the "visualize" button after you enter in your sizes for a visual reference.
