im excited to put my new wheels on, just curious if i should expect the fitment to give me problems. heres the specs...

18"X8" wheel
35 offset
michellin 255/35/18s
h&r race
15mm spring pad

what to expect guys?

anybody? jim from tirerack?

The 255/35R18 is going to need at least a 18X8.5 wheel. Also the 35mm offset is low and is going to rub the fenders.

:( damnit.

245x35-18 tires would be a better fit on 8" wide wheels, though not ideal. 35et offset is at the bottom of the scale but would most likely work, although you might need a little fender rolling. My street setup is 18x8.5 et38 offset with 235x40 tires. I got just a little rubbing on the largest bumps before I rolled the rear fenders. Fronts fit fine with no spacers and no rubbing.

A 245/40R18 is not going to fit a 3 Series.

good news fellahs, i had the wheel shop take care of the car and its back to normal. no rubbing at all. :) the fitment is sweet you can check the bimmerfest thread for pictures. im the dakar with the newly acquired LMs.

thanks for the help,
