rim width

[m3f_low_bmw]

what are the widths of the rims when they are staggered and non-staggered?

[m3f_VTRick01_f4e20f34c1]

stock is 8.5 front and 9.5 rear I believe.

Factory size is 8.5 rear, 7.5 front.

anyone have rubbing issues with the rear, with the rear tucked? when i mean tucked i mean the whole tire tucking and a bit of rim.

[m3f_Sirius_880bd69485]

Mine used to be lowerd about an inch, I had 8.5's all around, no issues. But alot has to do with rim offset also.

a stock M-contour 8.5 any rubbing?

I have a 98 m3 sedan with staggered wheels. 7.5 front and 8.5 rear with no problems at all.

I am back to stock suspension and the staggered ltws now....so no issues.

realllly. I wasn't sure about this but was also just told wrong when I was about to buy rims the other day online....(not tire rack). So the same would apply to 18" rims, right, as 18x7.5front and 18x8.5 rear?

[m3f_Sirius_880bd69485]

My last set were 18x8.5's. Not sure what the offset was, but I could only run 225/40/18's on them. Any wider and I would start to rub.

ah thanks. Well for now, i decided to save some money till later and just go with 17" snow tires on stock rims. Glad I didn't buy over the past few weeks like i planned.
