I'm looking at getting a new set of apex EC7's for up front. I'm looking at the 18x8.5's but there are two offsets. Et35 & et 45, which would you choose?
18x9 ET 42 Apex EC-7's / BC Racing BR Type Coilovers / GruppeM Intake
ECS SS Brake Lines / Coby Wheel Wrap w/ Tri-Stitch / 35% Tint / BavSound Stage 1 / Stett Intake Boots / OE Euro Clears
Personal preference. I would do +35
His - 2004 Imola Red / Alcantara 330i | 6MT | ZHP |
Her's - 2005 Black Sapphire Metallic / Black Leather 330i | 6MT | ZHP |
35 for sure

Yeah but he won't have fit problems on 35s. Can still even space those out if desired. Just stick to oem tire sizes

35 is bleeding edge. I had to make modifications to make my et35 BBS' fit, though my car is lowered (not sure if his is). With stock suspension I suspect there'd be enough suspension travel to still rub at least a little bit, but I never had stock suspension so I don't know.

Somehow I missed that you said you're only buying fronts. For fronts, you could do et35 all day with no problem. Oops
The rears are usually the wheels to give problems with clearance, but you're already set on that so all's well.
