Larry D Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 i was under the impression that 9j+ wouldn't go on anything other than an M3, have i got this wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry D Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 As said its all about offset I got 9j front and 10j rear on non M so what offset and tyre size are we talking for wheels like this then? your rears look huge! and i want huge rears like that!

RickyZ Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 Buy mine ET45 front ET48 rear (or vice versa as not sure which way round) however I am running 10mm spacers rear and 15mm spacers front Tyres are 235/35/19 front and 245/35/19 rear both a small stretch but not a lot.

Gaz Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 For big rears like that you'll need arch work done Larry. They look good though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickyZ Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 For big rears like that you'll need arch work done Larry. They look good though Not if you stay at M sport height you wont, if lowering though yes you will need rears rolled at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 Aren't you at M sport height now and get rubbing issues though? Not trying to talk you out of a sale btw, just letting Larry know what to expect if going for big width wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not trying to talk you out of a sale btw, just letting Larry know what to expect if going for big width wheels. Its cool dude I know and would explain all this to him if he is interested in buying I get rubbing with 4 up but I believe that to be due to the spacers on the rear and not the wheels themselves, I could ofc be wrong.

PeterH Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 (edited) If you get any rubbing regardless if you have a full load or not you need arch work imo... Your car shouldn't rub at all! Edited February 28, 2012 by MARSBUDE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
