Offset and Rim Help...
First of all I apologize, I have spent all morning going through these threads "trying" to find the answer/solution to my issue with no luck, so if anyone can help me it would be greatly appreciated.
I have a 07 335i Sedan and looking to go with the following rims. http://www.ebay.com/itm/19-BMW-GTS-C...item4d08f6ce40 I am new to the "staggering" thing, these show a stagger of 35mm front and 35mm rear. What will this look like? Also, I have a brand new set of tires that are the following, will these work? Front: 225-35-19 Back: 255-30-19 Thanks and let me know your thoughts. Mike |

The fronts will work but a 235/35 would fill out the rim better and out back on a 9.5 rim I think a 265/30 would be a real good fit. I think 255/30 will probably work but you may have a stretched look. Thats when the tire is narrower than the rim and the rim sticks out.

Hi Mike.
I have been researching the same sort of stuff for awhile now, and finally down to the short strokes before I order a set for spring. Here are some bits I found useful which may also help you. What a 225/35/19 might look like on an 8.5" rim: http://tyrestretch.com/8.5_225_35_R19/ (225 is the minimum size for an 8.5" rim, 235-245 is preferred, 255 max) http://www.kouki.co.uk/utilities/vis...ize-calculator What a 235/35/19 might look like on an 8.5" rim: http://tyrestretch.com/8.5_235_35_R19/ They don't have any similar 255 or 265, but poke around. Two other interesting offset/sizing tools: Rims n Tires: http://www.rimsntires.com/specs.jsp Will They Fit: http://www.willtheyfit.com/ Just watch your ratios front-to-back: 3% max for RWD, 1% max for AWD. Good luck. |

are these rims easy to bend?
Sorry for trolling. best is to go with 235/35 front 265/30 rear. offset 35 is okay. but 30 front and 32 rear would be flush. if lowered and original camber. |

If you dont mind me asking where you got your rims, looking for the same wheel but in a matte black. Thanks. Mike |

I bought them through one of the guys on the Australian forum who organised a group buy. His website is: http://www.bmrautowerkes.com.au/prod...-cr-19-wheels/ I am loving them. |

Good Evening!
Alright last question and then hopefully close up this thread. Ordered the rims today from a good friend in SD, CA that could get his hands on what I was looking for. Ended up with the M3 CSL Matte Black, 19x8.5 38mm off set (Front). and 19x9.5 38mm off set (Rear) With that being said I have known him for years but heres where I will argue with him and would like all your thoughts. He is telling me to run with a 255-30-19 Rear because the 265 will rub? Anyone had this. Im running a 07 335i with Sport Package RWD. Would really like to get the 265 on there but last thing I want to do is rub. Thoughts and then I will shut up! Really appreciate everyones help on this. Learned more about wheels, rims, sizes, etc then I ever thought I would. Thanks Mike |

I think you are going to need some sort of spacer since you said the wheel has et38. I think a 15 mm would do the trick and no you shouldn't rub.
