Wheel Nerd Needed.......Please?#?#?#?#?

I have spent days (on and off, not literally 48 hrs non stop) trying to measure and calculate offsets/wheel widths.

I currently have original 19" mv4's on my e93 (m sport) which are 19x8 et37 and 19x9 et39

I have a wheel contact and the only ones left in stock in the style I want are 19x8.5 et20 and 19x9.5 et22

I've worked out on the front with the room I have left currently 12mm or 14 at a push that if I run this off set I will be sticking out by literally about 5 metres!! Well not literally but it's a lot


If anyone has run a similar size then please let me know as I'm all for the tight flush look but obviously dont want any overhang.

Car is on original msport shocks and springs.

They won't fit... with ET20 on the rears at 9.5 they'll stick out 23.4mm more that the MV4's. On a Pre lci E93 the most you can go is around ET27, and even that's likely to scrub. Ideally you want something that around ET33 which gives 12mm poke

The front will stick out 23.4mm more also with that ET

This is a good site to use too http://www.willtheyfit.com/

Those ET's look like M3 offsets to me

Those are m3 offsets. You want et 30 front, et 35 rear for those sizes. Then you can fit 235s front, 275s rear.

Sound, cheers guys, I thought that would be the case. I have searched around and there's a few people "claiming" they have more aggressive set ups so I presumed I might get away with it.

It's me being impatient, he has silver in the same style at et40, which is too far the other way really but beggars can't be choosers, so maybe il get them powder coated fresh out the box

Cheers

With the extra half inch, et40 will still give an extra of 5mm on the back and about 3mm on the front.

As others have said those are M3 offsets. The only people I know running those kinds of offsets are seriously cambered and running now stretched tyres etc.

I use willtheyfit to work out wheel positions etc.

I'm running 8.5j fronts with et32 and 9.5j rears et35 and they clear just nicely with no issues. But anymore and pretty sure I'd have rubbing issues etc.
