Offset Rim Question! Help!

e46charz · 11-18-2008, 01:27 AM

Hello All, I'm new to the board, and I got a few questions. I've tried searching but I can't seem to find the answer I'm looking for.

Anyways, I have a e46 coupe, and I'm in the market to purchase the e92 335. I currently have some BBS RS-GT 19x8.5 et 35, 19x9.5 et 40 on my e46, and I was wondering what size spacers would I need to fit on the e92. I am not intending to do any suspension mods, as I dont want any rubbing whatsoever. I just want a flush finish. Any input would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!!

Rims look great! The offset is pefect for the front and you can put a 7-10mm spacer on the back. What size tires do you have on those?

thank you so much

fronts 235/35/19
rear 265/30/19

does the e92 use these tire sizes as well?

if lower 5mm to be save, 10mm you might need to roll your fender

just to confirm, with a 40 offset in the rear, along with 265 tires, 10mm spacer would be fine right? even if i ever decide to lower, a subtle drop would not cause any rubbing?

5-10mm spacer to make the rear look flush will be perfect... Lower ET30's in the rear wheel will make it look perfect... ET33 on a 9.5" looks great, but some want a little bit more pushed out so they go with a 10mm spacer to get a more aggressive look.

perfect! since ET40 is less aggressive than ET33, ET40 should be perfect with a 10mm spacer correct? i appreciate your time jurrian
