Widest rim on a m3/4

[m3f_e36_m3_Turbo]

So what is the widest rim I could stick in the rear. Non-rolled and rolled? Thanks.

Uhhh, depends on the offset of the rim really, Ill see if I can find out...

17x9's and 18x9's fit, so can a 18x9.5. It depends on the tire and offset.

[m3f_Sirius_880bd69485]

Take mine for example, they are 18x9's, but due to the off-set, wich I can't figure out what it is caue I dunno how to measure for that, I can only run 225's in the back, I might be able to skimp 235, but thats absoulte maximum I can get....

[m3f_SG_M3_d1201712b5]

yup, where as i fit 18x9's with 255/35's.

Nice rims! Bugs the hell outa me though, cause I really wanted wider tires... but I dont' feel like comming out of pocket for a new set of rims right now... got other things I want to do to her first before I mess with all of that. :P



Looks good though Sean.



Oh, heres an off the topic question, what exactly are thoes little plastic things under the rocker, right behind the rear jackpoints for? No-one at work seems to know what their meaning is...

Sean, nice job caring for your car, even after 5 years you still get it to shine like that! :thumbsup:

[m3f_Sirius_880bd69485]

Roger that. I am obsessive about mine, I clean her at least once a week durring the summer/winter, and wax her every three weeks durring the summer



A good cleaner wax will help remove oxidation, restore shine, and protect the paint from the sun, and its nice and smooth.

I have no idea what they are, they are kinda like mini-mud flaps but on the wrong side of the wheel.



Thanks for the complement. I've never posted pics over here, this is one I took this week.

Very slick. I like.I was thinking about putting 18x10 in the rear. Not possible?

nice color and rims



e36 turbo....i'd say the 255 would be the max in the rear without any type of rubbing...but why would you want wider tires?

[m3f_m3-dude]

I think the black flaps have something to do witht he aerodynamics of the tire.

BBS offers the CH in a 18x10 for our cars. But at stock height you will have to roll and pull the fenders, and thats with a 255. Forget trying to fit 18x10 unless you are flaring the fenders and getting custom offset wheels.
