Widest wheel and tire combo on an E 36 M3-4...Search done.....

[Yasir]

So far my research tells me i should be able to fit
Front: 18x8.5 ET 38 mm 245/35
Rear: 18x9 ET 42 with 245/35
Now the question is:
Would i be able to go 18x9.5 et 42 and be able to fit 255 in the rear... The car has Koni coil overs on the front and i guess separate shocks and the springs in the rear...
Thanks

If I'm not mistaken, with it lowered that much you'll need a fender roll to fit 18x9.5s. I have 18x9.5s with an ET of +40 on my '99 M3 at stock height. I wouldn't be able to lower it more than .5-.75 inches without rolling the fenders. A +42 ET wouldn't set the wheel in deep enough to avoid a fender roll and if you go with a more positive offset you'll start getting REALLY close on the inner wheel well. Like I said, my car's at stock height, but from what I understand, if you're running coilovers it'll be impossible to fit 9.5s without a fender roll.
