New Wheels, and have a question

So i picked up some M6 reps for my 328 w/sport package. i got them off a friend who has an M3. The wheels are 18x8.5 with a +15mm offset. Not tires on them yet. Is there anything drastic i need to do to make them fit? Also what tire sizes are recommended? thanks in advance!

hmm... the fenders can only be rolled to a limit. I've seen non M's fit M wheels many times.

Dude, going from a +37 to a +15 offset will move the edge of the wheel 22mm towards the outside of your car I'm not sure but I don't think there's that much room.

Rear could work, but ET15 in the front is too low.

They might work.. Ive seen someone fit a 9.5" ET 22 rim in the rear. Your wheels are only 8.5"

The rear offset will be the same as running a 9.5 ET28, which isn't very aggressive at all. Shouldn't need to roll the fenders. On an 8.5" rear wheel you should run a 255/35. The front will extend an extra 25mm over stock, which will look silly.

To me 25mm which is 0.9843 inches, doesn't seem to look drastic, but then again, i'm not the expert.

DV, using your logic, what would the wheel in the front be if u use a 9" wheel? i believe the stock offset for the front is 37 correct?
