Offset help

[jameswigle]

I couldn't find a thread that answered my question.
I have a 1995 m3 lowered not slammed.
I just recently bought a set of staggard wheels that are 18" with 30 offset by 9" in the rear and 35 by 8 in the front with 225/40/18 tires all the way around and I already had my fenders rolled but I'm still having an issue with a little bit of rubbing in the rear. Is flaring the fenders going to fix this problem? And should I run a staggard set tires as well? If so what size. HELP!

215/40s or 215/35s really the biggest your gunna wanna go, I'm in the same boat. ACS 18x8.5 et 15 all around. I don't think I'd try anything more with the fenders.

Ok so should I get staggered tires since I have staggered wheels?

I would go with 215 out back and 205/40 upfront. Unless you want the stretched look go 195s.

Don't know if you have to touch the fenders, but 30 is a really low offset using 9" back... even if you are fitting only 225.

The perfect one should be 9x18" ET 35, but that means 255/35 tire, anyway :eek:

Can't help you more than this.

But idea to run 205 or 195, we're talking about a M3 or a Smart? :D

Well that's his options with thoes offsets. 205 upfront wont be too bad. I wouldn't track that bits a street setup from what I understand.

Well Incase u guys were wondering I'm paying to get the fenders flared and the whole car repainted. Should look good!
