Perfect E46 M3 fitment

[thirdlobe]

Trying to decide the best fitment for a E46 M3 in 18's

I have seen a guys run 18x10 up front and as wide as 18x12 in the rear.

What would you think is the best set up for a daily that:

1. Does not require you to destroy rear fenders
2. You can run a nice stretch but not like a 225 on a 10 inch wide wheel

Really looking for guidance before I order my wheels.

Thanks in advance

In for this. I was going to try out 18x9 +12 235/40 and 18x11.5 +14 with a ?/35 sidewall tire

The sizes I had been looking at where:

Rear - 18x11.5 +16 with a 255/35/18's to get the clearance needed

Front - 18x10 +19 with a 225/40/18 or 245/35/18

18x10 +19 Fronts
18x12 +25 Rears

^ That is what "WhatsBFC" was running. Dont know how buchered his fenders where and that isnt alot of stretch

Kw coilovers are is known to go pretty low, You dont need some super wide wheel, i dont now why people think stanced cars need that. (IMO...)

You wont have to pull your fenders, but def gonna wanna roll them.
the perfect fitment id do
F: 19×9.5 + 36
R: 19×11 + 17

edit... BUY THESE. AND PRAISE EM!

Perfection.


FLOSS started the 18x10 and 18x12 setup that MrAdam and WhatsBFC are also running now. as far as i know.

^I got word from Dan@CCW that for 12 rears to work would require a lot of work to the fenders and the ride is very stiff but if looks could kill we would all be dead with FLOSS's set up.

[thirdlobe]

^I am just have a couple of sticks in the fire and deciding on what I want.

A little too much poke for me, want a little more subtle

What do you mean little fender work? If its done right, why do you really care? just outta curiousity, i know alot of people dont want alot of fnder work, or dont wanna roll their fienders but i dont see why not. no one is able to tell unless they look really. unless your pulling the crap outta them
