Yea strange oneaccording to the stats the 10j rears would sit sweet but fronts should be out 23mm from standard 224s

Reps maybe ?

he says the real deal, i mean a 255 section from 19" Et 24 on the front ??? Maybe his idea of rub and my idea are different but their is no way on this planet that isn't contacting somewhere, .

Bing said:There's no way that those fronts don't rub. And I'd bet the rears probably rub in the back of the arch as well. Unless he drives it like Miss Daisy... Which he obviously doesn't as he needs that huge spoiler![]()
They do look gorgeous though![]()
Sae said:Tbh, can't stop looking these wheels, the bmw specs as Mr Wilks says are:
"Numbers are 9x19 (ET29) +10x19 (ET40), Style 437M"
The rears with spacers are ok, but could there be any possible way to get the fronts on? How about stretching a 225/35 tyre on the front with max camber?
Beedub - how do these ET figures compare to the cromodoro m3 wheels you had?
He's a yank and there's nowhere else in a coupe for his gun rack...Bing said:....he needs that huge spoiler....

Front tyre in pic isn't stretched & the wheel face sits "plumb" or vertical so doesn't appear that camber has been massively adjusted
Maybe they're half rep half OEM :?
BMWZ4MC said:They look fantastic but the fronts must rub. I have three sets of wheels (including OEM 224s) and all three need different spacer sizes to clear the front suspension uprights without rubbing the outer arch liner. The sweet spot where there is no rubbing at either the inboard or outboard edges leaves a total clearance of under 10mm. Also, this is dependent on running a little more negative camber and careful choice of tyre sizes. These wheels would definitely rub the outer arch liner with vertical travel of the suspension, and rub the back of the brake cooling duct in the bumper with any lock. As for the BGW, it would be fine on a track but look ridiculous on the road.
