New shoes this spring!

[BimmerWill]

I believe im going to bite the bullet and get a set of wheels for the car this spring. I think im going to go with a square setup 18.8.5 et35...as far as I know this should fit no problem. .y only concern is that with my current stock wheels and coilover setup there is a slight rubbing between the tire and strut. Its a very small amount but I want to make sure my new wheels will clear the strut without the need for spacers. I used an offset calculator and it looks like ill have more space with the new offset. Just wanted to make sure my thoughts were correct in this before I pulled the trigger.

Thoughts are sound.

Spacers?

I've put on 18x8.5 +40 and had plenty of clearance for the strut to rim. It was more than 5mm for my ground control coilover setup. What is your current wheel setup?

I was hoping to get a good look without the need for spacers. Current wheels are stock style 44 17x8 et of 47 I believe.

My fitment buddy DTMDan advised me that 18x8.5"F & 18.9.5"R both ET45 would be perfect. Upon my research of that set-up, I agree.

He had 18.9.5" but ET35 and I'll tell you whut. That was freaking perfect. But it would look weird for me since he had it on coilovers and tucked. I'm just on an H&R kit so it wouldn't look as good.

I think I'm going to end up doing 235F/265R too. Now just to wait for my tax refund!

They're rolled! Mildly though, and in my inexperience I seemed to have pulled my passenger side a bit (Cody ) and cracked/peeled some paint in the process

^Gotta use a heat gun to help prevent the paint from cracking.

I am surprised my 12 year old paint on the touring didn't crack when I had them rolled (I had them rolled by a "underground" sketchy kinda place )

So if I were to go with a 18x9.5 et 45 all around I would be good as far as clearance?
