Offset help for E36 M3 (18x8/10.5)

[Ollie]

If the rears bolt up then you're good to go. You might need a small spacer. A 5mm spacer would kick it out to Mikes rear poke.

The fronts will need a spacer no matter what.

well he showed me a pic of them mounted, and without a spacer its a perfect flush.. but like ur saying ollie, im gonna space them about 5mm.

the fronts im looking to space at least 20-30mm. im gonna mount them up and see how it fits tomorrow and ill try to post pics. i have a lot of diff sized spacers lying around so im gonna try them all out.

thanks for the help fellas, much appreciated.

the picture, is that where they are hanging down? because remember they will camber in, tho easy fix with spacers.

[rowdydaoudy]

Rear offset is perfect! Not too much poke, with camber from the drop, fenders rolled, and some stretch they're gonna be ballllerrrr!

Fronts I tested 30mm and got a perfect poke just like the backs, ahhh I can't wait to order my tires.

Decided on 205/40 for the fronts and I think I'm gonna do 235/40 or 255/35 for the rear. Gonna decide on that once I roll the rears

I'm on my phone so I'll post pics when I get a chance.

[rowdydaoudy]

first pic is the current ride height and camber w/ stocks on.

fronts are only spaced at a 25mm in the pics w the mitos on, but its going with 30mm.

fronts looks like they are gonna sink in a bit. (not to be negative, just pointing it out) And the rear are sexy, i think i would go 245/35. or 265/30.

all the rear wheels in these pictures are 18x10.5 except the mitos 18x11 on the compact and the acs they are 17x10.5

[rowdydaoudy]

Thanks for the pics bro. Like I said, fronts are only spaced about 24-25 in those pics. I'll be spacing them another 5mm at least for them. Should have some poke for sure.

I would do 10mm spacer in front for poke cause with 5mm you will be flush/slightly sagging. Because your car is not sitting on the rims. You should have layed two 2x4 under each rim and set the car down, for proper fitting inspection. As for tires, I will be running these tyres on my new wheels 215/35R18 on 9.5in and 235/35R18 on the 10.5. So for you, 205/35R18 on the 8in and 235/35R18(for crazy stretch) or 245/35R18(for not so crazy but still a nice stretch rim) on the 10.5

i had to do all this real quick before class then work so i didnt have time to mess around much.
