E46 M3 wheel fitment ? Best for daily and Looks

[M3NTO_M]

I'm looking to Run 19x10s with a ET 25 or 22 square or 18x10 ET22 or 25

How bad does this screw up your guys front tires ? Also anyone cutting any fender lips or rolling?

Obviously its tight in the front. Just wondering if it would be a good set up for daily driving or like light driving?

I'm looking for a track stance. Or like a aggressive wheel stance look.

If anyone is running 18x10s tell me how does run!

give me some recommations on wheel fitment.

Currently looking into APEX racing!

Thanks!!

Aloha. Im running ZCP rears - 19x9.5 ET27 all around 255/19 tires. I didnt roll my fenders and I still rub on here and there. 10" width might be too aggressive for the front.

Apex's fitment guide is pretty detailed ^

10" front is getting pretty aggressive without higher ride/increased neg. camber. Probably not the best for a daily car.

Is your goal track or daily or look? Seems like latter. But you also want best daily? 19 are not best for daily as the tire profile is a bit short for a comfortable and pot hole friendly ride. You want tallest rim and widest tire and daily? What is best for you?

I'd try to tub it on 20".

My car has APEX ARC-8s, 18x10.5 squared ET22 I believe with 275/35/18 Federal SS595 tires. BC Coilovers maxed out in the rear and about an inch of clearance in the front, 3.8 degrees camber front and 2.5 degrees rear. That’s been the setup for 3 years. The tires in the rear are practically touching the fenders so it needs to be rolled. Fronts run a bit but on full lock. Other than that the car handles fine, but it will vary with how low you go if you want 10 inch wide wheels.

Thanks for all your guys opnions, mostly not really gonna track it, mostly for looks in a sense
I would track it in hawaii..
But since hawaii doesn't have a track at least I can make it look like I track it

looked into Apex wheels detailed guidesand they highly didn't recommend me running 10in in the front cause of how aggressive the camber has to be...

Currently I have 20s all around and been getting the means to change it cause it came with the car... I've been geting alot backlash of bmw owners telling me it looks weird, doesn't match, and too much wheel.
Sadly I'm stuck with them.. and I dont even know the full wheel specs..
I was told 20x10.5 in the rear, and 20x9.5 front...

My options was either 19s or 18s
I'm kinda leaning toward the 18s with a bigger tire to fill up the wheel gap and give the car more traction.Also matches the car too

I've searched for other wheels but Apex ARC-8s seems to flow the best with the E46 M3 in my opinion.

I wanted peoples outlook and views how it runs as dailyable and driveablity wise on the 19s or 18s

Cause 20s on the tires I have on now is stiff As F$#k!!

I guess you own stock car so best looking are 9 ET30 / 10 ET 25 with 245/35 275/30 tires .

Go for 18s, 19s suck for a DD

[Mystic3]

Running APEX ec 7's
9.5 all around
Et 35 all around
Easy to rotate
265 / 35 /18 Michelin 4 s
12.5 hub centric spacers on rear
No rubbing anywhere

If you want to look like you track, you need to run 18x9.5 or 18x10 square setup with 265 or 275 tires on all 4 corners. Noone tracks on 20s or 19s (on our cars), some track on 17s due to availability and lower cost of tires.

But I'm not into "look" game.

2nd on Apex 18x9.5 ET35 square setup - for DD some decent sidewall and you can rotate your tires. I'm running 265's and like it a lot..

Running same thing

Running same thing

Can't remember, do you run any spacers?

[Mystic3]

See #10 above

[mrgizmo04]

Can't remember, do you run any spacers?

Rear - I run 12mm.
Front - I put on 3mm because of where my lower spring perch sat with the amount of preload that I had to crank into 375 springs on Ohlins to get the "right" height, and with worn wheel bearings I was getting a tiny scrape on inside of the tire when pushing it. Since then I replaced the wheel bearings and no problems, so currently no spacers in front.
