    e36 2dr Wheel fitment help needed

    Hey there guys,
    I have a bone stock 94 325is 2dr. Wondering what size are the biggest rims i can put on it w/o fender issues. I would prefer to not roll my fenders and not use spacers.

    Would i be able to fit 18x8.5's et 40, without having any issues stock? What about staggered and non-staggered fitments? Will there be any wheel rub issues? Basically what size width would i be safe with 17's or 18's


    Any help is very much appreciated

    Thank you ahead of time

    18x8.5 et40 all around would be a good combo.

    Run 225/40/18 or 235/35/18 and you shouldnt rub

    Depends on the offset of the wheels. Plus you can do alot on a stock suspension.

    Yes. I ran 18x8.5 on h&R Race with 225/40 up front and 235/40 out back with a et35 with no problems.

    You will be fine with that set up. But i ask you to PLEASE lower the 4x4 when you have a chance

    The 225/40R18 with that offset is not a problem. If I can help with the wheels and or tires let me know.
