too flush?

[razahyde]

i think so, 5mm down would be better imo?

What size spacers are you running? The rears look good.

You need to put OEM rears in the fronts (18x9.5 on 275s all round w/ 3mm spacer) to make it hella flush :shifty

i think it looks good! maybe a mild stretch but if you're not into that then yes, 5mm down to avoid any rubbing.

[crdiscoverer]

Hell no, stretching looks hideous. It looks perfect like that. Proper tire for the wheel.

I think it looks good. More pics from behind? I'd love to see the stance that thing has.

[jhstealth]

I think it looks good where its at if it doesn't rub.

[razahyde]

decided to go 10mm, i dont like dealing with rubbing bs and countering it with more camber. i have 1 degree of camber and thats not going to change. the wheels are 19x10.5 running 295.

and no they are not stock wheels.

295s? :lol yeah, post a pic and I'll believe you. No way you're running 295s without rubbing like crazy.

uhm, have you forgotten m5s have different wheel well liners, and the fenders come rolled factory. :confused

are you going to call BS if i tell you there's 275 up front?


EDIT-sorry gjvah, i just noticed i did put 295. the size is 285 dunlop sp8000 iirc. i dont see any issue with 295 if the offsets right, there's plenty of space on the inside, and few mms outside.

[Fiziks]

perfect as is.

[brandon5069]

It looks good if you're building a show car, but also looks like it will rub.

Take a few mm out of there...

[Petes540i6]

On my non-M5 with OEM M5 wheels, I'd like to try 5mm, but I'd rather have 0 than add 10.

I agree with brandon. 5mm in should do the trick.

[kennyrogers]

raza what's the offset without the spacer and how much room do you think you have on the inside?

I've been researching the perfect offset for a 10.5 and 295 for awhile now but haven't found too many specs, mostly custom sets with unknown offsets

I was planning on going with 21mm but wasn't sure if I'd run into inner clearance issues

i think tire needs to be taken into account, some 275 tires are really 305 in width, while others vice versa. these dunlops run wide so they are a 295 compared to my michelin ps2 which at 295 would be a 285.

the offset on the rears right now in those pics is +12 with about 10mm of room on the inside, and maxed out inside. thats why i went with +17, leaving 5mm inside, and 5mm outside so i dont have rubbing issues, nor do i have to adjust camber.

hope that helps

I like it, as long as rub doesn't happen.

that helps a lot thanks

I was going to mention that those looked pretty wide for a 285

and I've definitely taken tire into account, will probably go with 295 vredesteins which have a little more of a rounded sidewall and tend to run true to size unlike the ps2's that seem to run a little wide

thanks again man, looks great
