I tried on 18x10 6" BS et12 ccw classics just for the hell of it. It would look badass if it actually fit.

Next up 18x10.5 ET19, hopefully these will fit better.

I'm currently running 245/35/19with 32mm offset in the front on my z4m roadster with no issues.

I'm having a hard time deciding whether to purchase 275/30 or 285/30 rears. The rear offset is 22mm on a 10" rim. I know 285 is closer to the stock size, but I don't want it to rub or stick out excessively. Is anyone running a 10" rim with similar offsets with a 275 or 285 tire?

Currently lowered on h&r springs with 15mm rear pads.

Brandobot,

I'm running a similar setup with stock suspension, no spacers, and no rubbing issues.

Front is 19 x 9 with 38 mm offset and 245/35/19
Rear is 19 x 10 with 28 mm offset and 275/30/19

With your lowered suspension, I'm not sure if yours will rub or not. I think some have done it without problems but using 275. Perhaps your tire shop can check out 285 fitment for you. Good luck!

Thanks in advance!

All right, here's another one I need confirmation on:

19" x 8.5" front (+35mm)
19" x 9.5" rear (+30mm)

235/35-19 front
265/30-19 rear

The main question is can I run the rears as is WITHOUT spacers?!? Please say yes!!!

THANKS!

If you want to flush them out, you will need spacers.

What size tires do you recommend for

18x.8.5 et 35
18x 9.5 et 25 ?

I wanna go as wide as possible in the back, and not stick out
245/40/18

I find the E90 offset calculator pretty good for figuring wheel offsets.

..soooo many factors.

It depends HUGELY of which tire you choose.
Depending on the make, a 285/35 can have considerably different specs for cross section & tread width.
Tire design is also a factor; e.g. Star specs are a little more square than NT-05s

It also depends on your rear camber.


FWIW....
I'm currently running 265/35x18 NT05s on 9.5" width wheels.
I have a net offset of 22.
My rear camber is -2.0
I'm right at the limit for what I can run on the track w/o rubbing.

Personally, I'd be looking at 10" wheel if 285 is your goal.

If you are on stock suspension the front will not stick out. The rear *might* depending on the tire.

I can get a great deal on a set of e9x M3 rims Style 220M, they are the following specs (with these size tires already mounted on them):
F 19 x 8.5 ET 29 245/35
R 19 x 9.5 ET 23 265/35

Online Calculators showing:
Up front rim would stick out 19mm more.
In the back rim would stick out 13mm more.

I don't think the rears would be a problem but i am worried about the fronts sticking out too much and rubbing. Currently i'm on bone stock suspension and camber.
Am i going to rub or is it a safe set up ? anyone else running these specs for their 19s ?
Did you get this working in the end? Or has anybody else confirmed whether it works or not?

Never got a chance to try those particular wheels on, they were sold before i went to pick them up .

With stock suspension if you max out your front camber you SHOULD be fine, if there is any rubbing at this point i think you would only get it at full lock.

I only know of 3 members to try the e92 wheels on. F360C (http://www.zpost.com/forums/showthread.php?t=460759), EndlessZ4M (http://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=467130) and Taku (http://www.zpost.com/forums/showthread.php?t=160440)

F360C and Taku both said you'd need a fair amount of neg camber to be on the safe side and not rub. EndlessZ4M however, was on stock camber and I don't believed his wheels were rubbing, but i could be wrong.

Thanks Daemonblitz. I'm actually buying the wheels of endless who says there isn't any rubbing with 1/2" drop. Just wondered if anybody else had tried it on stock suspension though which is what I'll be putting them on.

Yes that'll fit, though you'd want a 5mm spacer up front. 10-15mm might be too much, depending on your camber.
