19x10 et20 on the back of an e46 sedan

[Byron]

Its definately possible with 235's, rolled/pulled fenders, and around -3 to -4 degrees camber. I was able to get -3.7 out of the stock camber adjustment, but he will probably need adjustable rear control arms(Ksport, UUC, and bimmerworld are good options). E46 sedan fenders are pretty easy to roll flat in comparison to coupe fenders also. TopazKD just fit 19x10.5 et20 on his coupe so its possible and just a matter of if your friend is down to do the work to make it fit. I followed the thread on e46fanatics and most people in there have no idea what they are talking about when it comes to stance/making wheels fit.

Yeah I saw TopazKD's car but hes running some horrible camber- something like -7, right? Still pretty awesome that he made it work but I know my friend would never go for that. Whats the specs of the wheels in your sig?

I know what rolled fenders are but can you (or someone in the forum) explain to a girlie girl like me what exactly does "pulled" fender means? Or how it's done? Thanks!

Pulling a fender is making the vertical part above the fender opening pull outwards, done either with a fender roller or professional bodywork. Kinda hard to explain so I'll show a pic of mine: This is a slight pull done with a roller

[Tuck&Poke]

it can be made to fit, the question is whether or not he's willing to make them fit

[Byron]

You don't need more camber or anything. Just mount the damn tire on it and roll the fender a bit.
Thats damn near perfect.

He likes square tires, so I was trying to get him the best of both worlds with the setup I spec'd for him.


I was mostly just looking for pictures of the same setup that other people are running to show him that it will work and I'm not just blowing smoke

epic fit. they'll go on. i reckon a 235 would be a better bet though, some camber and a roll of the arches and should be all good. my 9x17's at et20 tuck rim 2.0" -camber (and need spacers) so an extra inch should be do able with thewhole lip flat (but i am running 205 tyre)

Seems like all e46 guys saying it wont work lol. I've seen way more poke than this pulled off on e30's, so theres really no reason it can't be done on an e46. They even have adjustable rear camber to make it even easier.

2.5 more degrees of camber will get the lip to poke half of what it is now, then with a little stretch and a slight fender pull they should slide right in. Seems easy to me :shrug

dude thats easy. What's the question?

looks like its gonna take some work...

[ben]

that's going to need quite a bit of work to make it look right.

[schroedin]
