Point blank, if they have the concavity of OE CSL "REAR" wheels made in 18's, it's a wrap.
I'm running OE Rear CSLs square and they clear my Brembo GTR kit (355mm rotors) without any spacers.
So 18x10 ET27.
I'd get those over a set of TE37s.2004 BMW ///M3 Carbon Black/Cinnamon 6MT

Widths and offsets will be customizable within the forging profile that we pick.
Hubcentric: yes.
Forging: currently evaluating 8,000 ton
Knurled bead: will evaluate
JWL / VIA: yes
BBK friendly is the goal; 996 retrofit will be standard used

That’s really valuable info dude, thanks. How’s tire fitment and alignment specs at the front?

I run -3.5 up front and -2.5 in the rear.
If you're not slammed, you won't likely rub. I rub a very small amount at full lock but I'm pretty low as well, ride height is 13.25" F and 13" R.
I really like this setup because it uses no spacers. My 17" Forgelines need spacers to clear my brakes and it sucks lol

That's great to know. Those alignment specs and rubbing notes are on the 265 or 285 front?
Proper ride height on some 18's should be killer.2004 BMW ///M3 Carbon Black/Cinnamon 6MT
