Wheel Fitment For E46 M3

[Trackm0nster]

Sup guys, I've ordered my new setup, which is tentatively

19x9.5et22
19x11et22

I got news today that the 9.5 fronts will take a little longer than originally planned, and now have the option for 10 or 9 fronts.

Im leaning against the 9 fronts due to the overall design of the wheel in combination with the 11 in rears, so it leads to me to:

19x10 ET20
19x11 ET17

I want it to sit nicely, without one wheel poking out more than the other.


Im sitting on KWV3's, but have 5mm and 8mm spacers ready to go if need be

These wheels are mesh style wheels (no lip), so I want to avoid having a major poke as well

What do you guys think about this fitment on a E46 M3 with those offsets?
Thanks!

THinking of going 255/30/19 and 275/30/19 for tires. What do you guys think? Will it have a even stretch for both front and rear?

Might move up to a 265 and 285 for F and R, but I have to see if there will be clearance issues then

check out tyrestretch.com to compare the two stretches you want.

as for fitment, i have 18x10 and 18x11 et25 all around and they almost sit flush with the fender.
after adding a 5mm spacer to the rear, it sits flush. as for the front, a 5mm spacer made it poke just a tad.

hope that helps!

if you are "ordering: wheels, which I assume will be a pretty penny, why the need for spacers? take some time to make measurements i.e width/offset, so you dont have to use spacers.

just a thought

Bump, anyone know if 255/35/19 will fit 19x10 et20 in the front? I have KW V3's with GC camber plates

here is the final setup
19x10 et20 255/35/19
19x11 et17 275/30/19

It's the final set up so there's no need for confirmation

et20 on the 10 is prob gonna hit your strut. front's gonna poke (not flush breh) much more than your rears. 19's are difficult to have fit right anyways. best of luck.

i have 19x10 et15, 19x11 et10....tires 225/35, 245/35, pokes a tad because no adjustable camber arms =(

sorry I should say tentative for the front tires

et20 on the 10 is prob gonna hit your strut. front's gonna poke (not flush breh) much more than your rears. 19's are difficult to have fit right anyways. best of luck.

Can anyone confirm this? I've ran 18x10 et 25 and it only hit the bottom of the coil over perch on full compression

i have 19x10 et15, 19x11 et10....tires 225/35, 245/35, pokes a tad because no adjustable camber arms =(

Looks good!
