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.

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.

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!

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...

HELP!
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

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.

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?

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.

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.

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??
