e46 facelift sedan fitment

[stance]

i'm new here and i need info from u guys.

what is the most aggressive offset for e46 facelift sedan? i'm willing to roll the fender but preferably not to. i'm planning to run 19x9.5 et20 all around. do u guys think it would be a problem? would i need to roll the fender?

some pictures would be great!!

roll the whole lip flat for sure.

E46 M3 fitment is 19x9.5 ET27 - so you might need some camber arms to i expect (as may need more negative than stock arms will allow) but it deffo possible.

not sure on tyre size - 225/35 maybe??

This is 19x9.5 squared @ et27(front)/et12(rear)


I can still go with lower offsets if I raise the car some, another member on fanatics--Daron is running 19x9.5 squared @ et15(front)/et13(rear)

See my thread for more pics of the M3 square setup...

(My wheels are for sale by the way)

Back to the original question though, I think southpaw was at et0 with spacers on his style 5s... Khalil runs et20/22... dubmd had very low offsets... there's a prefacelift that ran rear m-roadstars all around which is et8..... so you'll be able to pull off et20, it's all about the tire sizes and you'll probably benefit most from rolling/pulling/shaving the rear fenders, let me know if you need any more help with fitment

so i have to roll the fender to get it done?? i did some research about rolling the fender in other forum. they are saying it's pretty hard to roll the fender on e46. what u reckon?

i dont want to pull or shave the fender. i'm only willing to roll the fender abit. what set up u recommend?

u got nice set up btw!

this guy run 19x9.5 all around et 15(f) 13(r). im pretty sure he shaves the fender. nice set up tho.

That's Daron's ride...

Not sure if he did anything to modify the fenders... You can roll the inner lip flat, I know that at least on the facelifted sedans there is a bolt that holds the clip keeping the rear bumper snug to the fender, when you go really low with low offsets it's going to rub on it, you'll probably have to shave that off.. You don't need to shave the inner lip of the fender though (I wouldn't recommend that)

when u were running et17 at the rear, was the tyre rubbing because u slammed it after u installed coilover or it already rubbing before u installed coilover? i need to be very clear on this before i order the wheels. i dont want to order wheel that couldn't fit. plus i don't wanna pull the fender, i just wanna roll the fender if necessary. any problem for front fitment?
