Help with rear offset choice please

aw335cpe · 06-14-2009, 08:36 PM

I am looking at some 18x9 wheels that come in 30 and 45 offsets. I would most like to run 275 tires, but do not think that will work with either (rubbing inside with 45 and outside with 30). If I did decide on spacers/bolts, what would be ideal to avoid rubbing? Thanks for your help

And does anybody think 265 will work with the 30 offset. Looking at htrIII or RE760 tires.

Is there a reason why you chose a 18x9 instead of a 18x9.5? Your car can actually go up to a 9.5-10" wide wheel with the proper offset and tires. We have fitted a 19x10 +38 VB3 on a lowered E92 with 265's w/ slight rubbing on non-rolled fenders.

265 on +30 will work, 45 should be ok in theory but i'd run 5~10mm spacer just to be safe...
