Hi,
If found a nice set of winterwheels, but I don't know if they will fit... : 7,5 x 16 et42, tires 225/55/16. My car is a little bit lowered (3cm) with the Eibach pro-kit (springs).
Can anyone help me?
Thanks,
Ceeke.

Itll be close on the inside. Highest offset i would go is +38. Id get a 5mm spacer just for reassurance

Ceeke

Thanks Phister for an answer.
I found a calculator for wheels and ET. Now i'm driving on 8.5 and 9.5 ET35.
If I go for those winterwheels, this calculator says it will be 18.4mm less close on the inside than the 9.5 and 5.8mm less for the 8.5.
So it will be no problem??? Or do I forget something??
Thanks for reply,
Ceeke.

Sounds about right since they're 7.5" it should be ok since they wont be as wide.

Anyone know of any ADV.1 style wheels? I've found Concept one's CS-5.0 but it only comes in a 20x8.5"f and 20x10.5"r size. I'd like to fine some that style but don't want to pay $6000. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Theres the VMRs they have some wheels with concave.

Gbrewer

this is what I'm on the hunt for but the concept one's only come in the 20" size, kind of lame if you ask me since 19" seems the most popular size for the Euro scene...

BlkBenz8

Buy the 20s, roll and pull your rear fenders! Theres acouple of members that ride on dubs.

They are 20x10.5" with a +25 offset. I don't think the little sedan would have a chance lol

Ok, I need some expert wheel advice.

I currently have a 19x8.5 up front with a +32 offset and a 10mm spacer. This means the offset is a +22.

It rubs a tiny bit on the coil on the inside, but I can't move it any further out because it will rub too much on the fender (it currently rubs a little on the fender too).


Here's the deal, I want to run 18's and the wheels I want are 18x8.5 with a +35 offset up front. With my spacer that would make it a +25 offset and I think it'd rub too much on the coil...and if I move it out further with a bigger spacer it would rub on the fend as well because it too is an 8.5in rim...

Does anyone have any ideas of how I could run these wheels without rubbing or having a stretched tire??

Any help would be great. FYI current tire size is 225/35 19

I can't imagine why you are rubbing on the coil. I am running 225/40 18 with a 32 offset up front. no rubbing anywhere, no spacer. if your gonna get a set with a 35 offset look for 3mm spacers and you should be fine. unless you have some crazy oversize coils I don't see a problem.

What would need to be done to run 19" clk63 nd wheels?

Glyn M Ruck

Nothing - Offset is ET34 front ET30 rear.

Gbrewer

Thinking of just going with some brushed Forgestars. Someone please chime in... whats the most agressive stance someone is running on a w203???

I plan on running tein basics, stretching 235's on the rear, 225's on the front, fender rolling, but NO extra camber. 19's.

newbie? lol I had HRE 540R 19x10's on the rear of my 3 series sedan which many have not been able to fit. But I think I've been struggling with the fitment on this car because everyone seems to be having fitment issues with the suspension on the inside. Thanks for the link though!

I'm wanting to run somewhere around these specs:

19x8.5 front +35
19x9.5 rear +32

235/35/19 rear tire

Anyone see any issues with this setup?

C_DirtyTwo

Because I have KW V2's and they are as low as they'll go, the bottom spring sleeve and spring rub

ahmadk

I didn't mean any disrespect..sorry about that
What I meant was new to the forum ..

Gbrewer

None taken, I knew you were just playin giving me a hard time lol

Gbrewer

Definitely what I am trying to avoid.

phister

you have to take in to count your wheels are going from 19 down to 18s. I had 18x8.5 +28 offset and the wheels never touch the struts or springs when I was dropped all the way on my Teins. If you're scared of it touching just get 12mm spacers so it pushes it out just a tad bit more. If you havent done so, roll your fenders and pull it a touch so it doesnt rub in the front. I have 17x8.5 +20 and I have no issues at all in the front with rubbing and my tires are 215/45/17.

I dont think +25 offset on the 18s will rub. but if you're unsure there are 12mm spacers out there, think it'll be enough not to rub the struts or the fender.

Gbrewer

Whatcha think?

C_DirtyTwo

Ok I think I found a better set up.....

Front: 18x8 ET32 + 10mm spacer = 22
Rear: 18x9.5 ET40 + 5mm spacer = 35

That will give me the same offset I have in the front right now, but with a 1/2in more narrow rim. Hopefully it won't rub on the coil or the fender now.....what do you guys think?

What tires would be equivalent to my 225/35 19 and 265/30 19 I have now but for the 18's? 225/40 18 and 265/35 18??

Anyone here trying to sell there rims? I have a 05 c230 and I am trying to get some sick looking black rims, but I dont want to spend to much either. If not does anyone know a good place to get rims either online or in the bay area or in orange county?
Thanks
