Do the 437M wheels just fit straight onto the 35is with standard suspension, springs etc? What tyres?

Yes they are a straight swap on to a standard 35is. You can run 225 / 255 on them, at a slight stretch. 235 / 265 would be ideal
 
What do you mean "a slight stretch" Sunnydays?

On my standard 35is I want to buy some 437M wheels and put none-RFT on them and then flog the 326's I have on now.

I want to buy some aftermarket 437M wheels (or a genuine set off of the bay depending on £££).

Sorry for taking your thread slightly off-piste.

Oh if you are buying new tyres you will be perfect then. Just size up in width to 235 / 265 IIRC and you are golden. Go for genuine over replicas. The genuine alloys are Forged for a start, and are 9J and 10J on the rears. They are barely more expensive than replicas, and can be picked up on ebay.
 
I went the same route with genuine 437M wheels. I fitted 275/35 rear and 255/35 fronts as they come on the M3 but the fronts rub very slightly at full lock so you could avoid that by going for 245 on the front instead.

I would definitely go for genuine wheels as they are forged. The replica wheels will be make with a cast construction so weigh more and buckle more easily.
 
These posts do cause me problems (financial that is) I was quite happy with my wheels until I saw these. They look stunning as do the callipers. :roll:
 
What colour should I have my callipers done on my Melbourne Red car? I thought maybe Blue? Yellow would be too much "I'm trying to be a Ferrari"

Blue would go or you could do them same colour as the car Melbourne Red or another colour for contrast against the red would be some shade of grey.
