Team Dynamics Wheels and Offsets

buy my 4 x rears and you have solved your problem. et26 18x9 all around and only £220, but i'll do you deal as you sorted me out on the top mounts:thumbs:

Need Nords on here - he left his Intrax top mounts in the road position and didn't get rubbing?

both of these using 9j NOT 9.5j.

9j will be a few mm better both sides

[_Nathan_]

We are talking about 9J wheels here though?

Team Dynamics don't make a 9.5...

[shimmy]

yes i know but 9.5J rear CSL rims rub on arches on road with -2 camber

9j rims with 265 tyres wont be much better so i would def go et30 rather than et25 on road biased car

[_Nathan_]

Gotcha!

[shimmy]

Don't think so skinny jim

I just think 9j Et25 on a road car is still too tight

not even sure what the 18 inch rear m3 OEM rims et is?

[cantfind1]

Wow opened up a can of worms!

Ok so we are all in agreement that thorney run TD18x9 et 30 all round with spacers on the rear to compensate.

By my calculations an et 30 on the front will give an extra 20mm extend outwards and extra 8mm space inner clearance?

agree et 15 for the rear is perfect, its just that i don t like spacers and will be running 245 up front and 265 in the rear so wheel swapping won t be possible for me. Which is fine by me.

Those who want to swap wheels front to back then it looks like et 30 all round is the option to go for, with a spacer on the rear say 15mm, however I am still not clear if this will fit the front with a 265 tyre on?

Any way have made my decision TD 18x9j et30 up front and 18x9j et15 in the rear. 245 tyres for the front and 265 for the rear. Any one talk me out of it?

Or John any prices on this setup?:thumbs:

my 18 x 9.5j are in the uk now and will be trial fitted next Thursday at Simpsons wuith 265/35 tyres. I will trial them -2 and -3 camber so if you want to wait till then i can tell you if 265 all round will fit
bear in mind youll nearly double the life of the tyres being able to swap them fron to back, pays for my new rims in 2 sets of tyres:thumbs:

[_Nathan_]

Having seen the 18x10 et15 on the car I'm 99% sure that et25 will be fine

I think you have chosen the best set up TBO (if you're not fussed with swopping fronts with rears) and running a 245 is a safe bet.

I also still have some doubts of the possibilities of running a 265 up front. But certain it will be fine.
So... I will listen out for the all clear from Shim too, so let us know. :thumbs:
