Just wonderjng if an et of 38 will fit my 96 328i with stock shocks?
My MParallel rep wheels are shot. I found a set of Ruff Racing R357 5 spoke wheels on ebay. Only thing is they are 18x8 et38, my currents rims are et35. Tires are Fallen 225/40/18. I did do a search on here but keep coming up with most threads using 18x8.5 wheels. And they keep talking about "stretching" their tires. Not looking to do that.. and I don't want to ride on "rubberbands".
I'd like to make a decision fairly soon. Ruff racing R357 vs TSW Carthage wheels. The TSWs have the correct et35 offset.
Thanks for your time.

They should fit I think. At worst you could use a spacer.
