  • ??? e46 m3 fronts

    The car in question is my carbon black e46 m3.

    Lows won't be an issue... whenever they decide to stop being lazy and finish them... I'll be sitting on some Broadway Static Coilovers.


    The time has come to order my (first) set of wheels. I'm new to BMW... so bear with me trying to get a feel for these offsets.

    I'm debating on going for a squared 18 x 9.5 setup. my one concern I have is I want to be able to full lock up front.

    What final et would I need to a) be flush up front on a 9.5 and b) will I be able to full lock with a 215/40?

    I've seen people run low offset 10's up front. I'm just looking to be able to have some fun and not have to worry about turning radius when that rear end comes around.

    If it isn't possible... I can fall back on an 8.5/9.5 setup as I know Ill have the inner wheel well clearance.

    Eastwood fender roller Will make quick work of the fenders.
    So... what am I looking at sirs?

    You need to look at offsets, wheel width and what tyre size you want to run to get your desired fitment.

      Its all listed above...18x9.5 with a 215/40. I'm looking for a ballpark et to get me flush with the fender while still being able to turn full lock.

      I dont want to order the 9.5 all around just to find out it was a waste of money and i should have went with the staggered set.

          I have 9.5 with 265/30/19 on oem 19s and full lock is no problem and I'm just about to tuck rim.

          Also if you're going to do something to custom the least you'd want to do upfront is 10". You can fit alot.
