V7CVW Posted October 20, 2015 Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 How do everyone? I'm Vic, yes I'm new to the forum, and I have owned an e46 330ci facelift in sparkling graphite for around 11 months but may consider coilovers and wheels now. Can you give any pics of your own or other cars that successfully have run 18x10 on the rear and state the offset, I have seen some wheels but they are ET20 on rear so I am not really sure if this is possible without running silly camber etc. Not looking to do much else, other than maybe roll arches to accommodate these wheels. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momo Posted October 20, 2015 Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 10j ET20 will not fit in a month of Sundays! I've seen 10J fit before but I think they were up around ET50.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V7CVW Posted October 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 Thanks for the quick replies lads. I've been trying to upload a couple of pics but photo bucket site isn't loading for me, for some strange reason. I'll have another look tonight.

RichS Posted October 20, 2015 Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 Best colour on an E46 (but I'm biased!), welcome in, mate:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avalaugh Posted October 20, 2015 Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 Why 10j ? Lots easier with a 9j on the rear and 8j fronts. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V7CVW Posted October 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 Reason for 10J is I've seen some wheels that are staggerred 8.5 fronts and 10J rears for the e46 over on m3cutters. So just had a thought, if they would fit before buying. I will probably test fit my friend's BBS RSII in 18x10 first but wanted some advice from fellow enthusiasts!

momo Posted October 20, 2015 Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 M3's have flared wheel arches on the rear so those wheels will fit the M3 with little fuss. Non-M's have rubbish, narrow arches.. You can MAKE them fit.. But it won't be easy! You'll need to roll/flare your arches, fit adjustable camber arms and probably run a 125/65/18 tyre or something.. lol simonlpearce 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V7CVW Posted October 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 Yeah I hear you. I've read that also, but I've stanced a couple of cars in the VW scene before so want to create a nice ride height on my 330ci, so I DON'T lose driveability but I can't still maintain a good set up! I'm trying to upload pics via photo bucket but it doesn't seem to be loading at the moment... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Turko Posted October 20, 2015 Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 18x10 et20: Arches rolled and a 235 tyre. A bit of rubbing though - would have been fine with camber arms but sold the car before I ever got round to it.

momo Posted October 20, 2015 Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 This user had 10J iForged rims (custom) which were ET43 rear: http://www.e46zone.com/forum/topic/17239-will-my-iforged-rims-fit-on-a-2005-530d-touring/ They fit with little work IIRC. I think it was just narrower tyres. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Syxx Posted October 20, 2015 Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 It can fit, as shown above by Turko. If you want better clearance go with a 225/40 tyre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naj Posted October 20, 2015 Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 I've been running 10J rears for over a year now. Granted I have stretched tires and a bit of negative camber. 225/35/18 18x10J ET20 (After 15mm spacers) and negative camber - This is probably a little too aggressive, I'm going back to 225/40/18's tomorrow 225/40/18 18x10J ET35 - with only natural negative camber.

V7CVW Posted October 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2015 Thanks for the advice and the pics, gives me an idea. The reason I haven't replied till now is they guy selling the wheels has gone quiet and I haven't heard nothing off of him for nearly a week! A bit strange seeing as he is selling something and I have cash waiting... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
