    Team dynamics pro race 1.2 wheels for E36 M3

    My 1995 M3 track car currently has ground control coil overs, koni shocks and stock brakes. I want to run 255/40ZR17 Toyo proxes RR. I'm currently running that size on 17x7.5 ET+41 style 22 rims which I know is too big of a tire for those rims. I currently do not get any rubbing. Would Team Dynamic Pro Race 1.2 wheels size 17x9 ET+35 or ET+40 fit? Would they both fit or would 1 fit better than the other? I would prefer to not run spacers but if it's necessary I will.

    The 17x9 ET40's with 255/40-17 will fit all around with the following caveats:

    • You will need a 12mm spacer in front to clear the strut
    • You will need to roll the inner lip of the rear fenders flush, but shouldn't need to actually stretch or "pull" anything
    • The more negative camber you run the easier fitment will be, but given that this is a track car it shouldn't be an issue. I'd suggest -2 degrees in the rear, and I'm sure you're already over -3 degrees in the front so that should be fine.


    The ET35's would fit in front with a smaller spacer to compensate, but would require more extensive fender work in the back since they stick out 5mm further.
