The wheels are 8.5 ET35 front, 9.5 ET45 rear.

Are those tire sizes too much stagger coming from a 225/40 all around setup? These are basically E46 M3 sizes, but not sure if they'll work as well for an E36 M3. Will they make acceleration much worse?

Thanks in advance


edit: I know the front wheels will fit fine, but will the rears be okay with a decent fender roll? It's lowered about 1.2" back there.

I ran that same setup on my E36 M3, OZ Mito wheels, 18x8 up front and 18x10 in the rear although I don't remember the offset. I was running stock suspension though but the car sat great, no wheel gap at all.

Nice, thanks for the info. I'll probably have to do a very aggressive roll with the drop I'm at right now...
