I'm looking for some cheap wheels, and I like the look of the lip size of these knock offs. I know some people have run 18x10 with some fender work, but would this size and offset be possible for the rears? I would go with 18x8.5 for the front.

Yes I know they are cheap but Im sick of my current wheels and dont have that much cash right now :shifty

So the money question: can i fit these in the rears? If yes, what tire size?

not too sure...but i thought max offset for e36 is around +30-35. might have to roll/cut the fenders.

im guessing 255's

You would be more worried about the +25 being too small of an offset. If you put some serious stretch on it it might work. et25 might just be too low of an offset for an 18x10 even with a good stretch. hmm

I run 18x9.5 et35 w/ 245.35 tires at a pretty low ride height and with aggressvely rolled fenders. It still rubs a smidge on the driver's side rear under full compression.

To run that wheel, you would need to very aggressively roll/pull the fenders, run an OE'ish ride height and/or stretch a 235 tire on the rim - 245 max.

kolo92 was trying to put that same rim on his e36, I don't know if he ever got it to work.
