E86 Coupe Wheel Fitment

Post by Bluebogartlabel » Tue Mar 27, 2018 9:21 pm

Hi

I have seen some wheels I like which are 8.5 inches wide on the front and 9.5 inches on the rear. The offset on both is et47 and I’m trying to figure out if they are going to fit inside the arches which is what I want. It doesn’t have to be by much but it be must inside and not level which some like :) or outside which I guess is a complete no-no!!

Sorry if this sounds a bit ocd but any help would be gratefully appreciated,,,

Many thanks

I currently have 8.5j et 40 front / 9.5j et 45 rear so yours would sit 7mm in on the fronts from mine & that is no issue at all
Almost perfect fitment :thumbsup:

Thanks for the picture. Your car looks great and the wheels are spot on.

Can I please ask what tyre brand and sizes you are using?
