Need some rim and tire advice.

farbmw · 05-31-2011, 11:03 AM

Hi all,

So, I can get my hands on a set of rims for a good deal, but the rim size is F 18x9 and R 18x10, I want to put them on my E92 335i sport, these use to be on a E46 M3 he could not tell me the offset, would I be able to use them on my 335i and if so what size rubber would I put on them? The make of tire I was thinking would be the R888s.

Let me know what you think.

Fronts should be fine but the E46 M3 rears do run low offset, which will require fender work on your vehicle.

Toyo R888's are R-Compound tires, were you looking to use this as a track setup only?

Yes, that is the plan, so I would have to role the rear fenders? A buddy of mine can hook me up with a set of used CCWs off of a E46 M3.

Is there anything better or just as good (but cheaper) then R888s?

Nitto NT01's may be a bit more affordable.
