I never said you were calling anyone a liar. What I said was that you were making assumptions on people's knowledge and experience with the subject being discussed. If you had asked me, I would have been happy to share my personal experiences with what I have seen fit & not fit on E46 sedans.
I have 18" ET42 with 245's on the rear. I can maybe get a 5mm spacer back there.
I have 18" ET42 with 225's on front. I can maybe get a 5mm spacer up there.
Or else I will rub.
The reason's this is...is:
1. I could have chose a tire with a more rounded sidewall. I have Hankook's
2. I am lowered pretty low.
3. I could have chosen a rim with a different offset.
Based on my experience.
Now.....where I would use the calculator is if I wanted to move to a rim with a different offset.

I am currently running 18x9.5 et40 rear, et 35 up front.... from exp. with a 9.5 wheel you will need et35 or lower to clear the strut...my fenders are not rolled and i am running 255/35/18s im lowered on megan racing springs at about 1.5 - 1.75 inches.
and to help out. I have seen 18 x 10 et 25 squared on an e46 sedan. with money and time. you can make anything fit.
What wheels are those and are you running camber plates?
Looks great!
