    I like the GT4s, but when I see an E46 is rolling down the freeway with aggressive offset and camber, it visually looks like something is broken in the front suspension. Also, the more the tire sticks out past the fender, the more rocks get thrown at the side mirrors, side of the car and rear fenders.
    Yeah, I get that. Even when I had my 18x9.5 ET35 up front it would spout up rocks like crazy. Think sticky tires probably amplify the effect.

    I wish I coulda found a set of those. The E9X M3 GT4 wheels right? Pretty hard to find as they're out of production (but I guess mine are too)... and was usually sold as a staggered setup with the 18x9.5 ET40 no?

    There are a bunch of people on this forum that have their panties in a bunch about wheel width and what "fits" according to their decade-old preconceptions, just ignore them. 18x10 with a 265 is an optimum size, both functionally and aesthetically. Due to the suspension design, these cars need a lot of negative camber up front, especially with a sticky tire and/or if you're tracking. I get perfectly even tire wear at + or - -3.5* up front and no rubbing with 265 on a 10.5. Just keep doing you, the car looks splendid.

    Thanks bud, I appreciate the kind words! Totally agree with you. From what I've seen, the most popular track setups are usually 18x10 squared or 18x9.5 squared - so far this setup has been just as comfortable as my previous 18x9.5 squared setup. Only had to dial in a tad more camber and yup, every BMW at the track always has a huge amount of front camber lol

      I think they made 18x10 et40 and et24 for E9x M3

      They 18x9.5 et25 might been for M235i race car. Not 100% sure tho

                ​It's more of a Tony Scott vibe

                      A pre-cars and coffee meal this morning with some friends. My wife and son drove the M3 and I took the 911.
