The Random E46/ZHP Question Thread

Meh. I'll just go with 75w80. It's what everyone goes with, so I'm sure it'll be fine for me.

What companies are well known for offering free shipping on wheels?

Question about rim fitament. I'm currently running 18.5 squared with 235/40/18's on front, 245/40/18's on the rear. The rears have 10mm spacers, fenders not rolled and NO rubbing. Can I run 18x9.0's with NO spacers in the rear and not rub or will I need to roll the fenders?

To get the same appearance from the 18.5 rims as the 18x9.0's would that be the equivalent of running a 50mm spacer with my 18.5 rim?

Front wheel bearings will need to be replaced soon. DIY or drop the car off at the indy ?

I don't think anybody reputable does unless it's a promotion of some sort. Shipping wheels isn't cheap.

Offset is off by 8mm, but I run 255/35/18 18x9s with ET 42 and I have absolutely no rubbing. That 8mm means you are a bit more sunken in (I think) so you should be fine. Might have to space a few mm if you rub inner.

Depends on the quote, but DIY is probably the way I'd go.

Damnit. I'm trying to get wheels out of state to avoid sales tax, but I also want to avoid the shipping cost.

Buy APEX, pick up from their shop.

I DIYd (very straightforward affair), but like Dario said, depends on indy quote and your available time.
