17x9, not wide at all :[

[cabezzz]

Thinks the 9's are fine, just need less offset, but if you can get 10.5 for rears by all means necessary, go for it

An yea e46fanatics, right there with bf.c, dont even bother to post there no more

Agreed, lower offset and wider.

Looks good though.

aha, thanks!

ahahah. i think i forsure need to go... maybe 9.5" or 10" up front.
and perhaps 10.5" in the rear (totally got b!tched at on e46fanatics about this. hahaha)

lol thats funny, people on the bmw forums dont like to think outside of the box it seems and **** wide wheels with stretch...i had comments on my setup that it was horrid fitment lol

i know right! they were like "you can't do this on a sedan. you're crazy". oh well. i'll prove them wrong.. hahahha.

But then you can go 3 more inches lower.

Off topic but does that car next to yours have ADR's?

[jpod999]

205's will look funny and thats the maximum tire size to run on 9 wide wheel to get good stretch out of it.

I have 215s on my 9s and the stretch is good.

I think it is the offsets of the rims you have. My front 18x8.5 look much wider than your 9's simply because of how concave they are. I sold two of my fronts to a guy with a E36 and he ran them as rears because his fronts were higher offset and more even faced. The concave fronts I sold him now give him a much better stance overall.

Here is a picture of the car that I am talking about. His rears are 18x8.5 ET22 and were extra front rims that I had and sold to him.
