Confused about offset for Beyern Mesh 18's

gsmurf · 04-07-2007, 03:37 AM

I'm a newbie here and I just have a few questions if you guys don't mind.

I ordered a set of Beyern 18X8.5 5-120 30SM rims and Falken 235/40ZR-18 92W REIN from a Discount direct (local store). It's for my '06 325i as recommended by the store rep, he said these will be great for my car.

Since I'm a newbie at wheel fitment etc I didn't notice that the offset is +30 and upon reading other post on this forum I notice everybody seems to favor +40 on their E90's, my questions are will this really work on my car? how will it look? will they need to use spacers to make it fit?
Any comment is appreciated.

The +30 is perfect. Im lowered and only had a slight rub on one side, but most everyone said it was because my tires are too wide, and I have 9.5s in the back and not the 8.5s you have. You should be fine and I got mine from Discount as well.

Sort of a thread hijack, but what size tires were you running? 265/30/19 or 265/35/19? Thanks!

Thanks Fraggy, I needed to hear that I was really worried it may cause a problem.:rocks:

I dont remember, but if I remember correctly they were 265/35/18, Kuhmo SPT. They even look wide as hell too

No problems.

+30 offset Front and Rear is just about perfect. You can run +40 if you want a little more fender clearance.

what did you pay for the wheel and tire package if you don't mind me asking?

With tax $1500 out the door installed with the tire replacement guarantee.
Not a bad deal considering they will balance and install it in my car.
