New 19" wheels! With pics...

[T2FFN]

They look to be on the limit for offset, is the rubber beyond the arch? (MOT fail) Think lowering it 15-20mm would finish it off 8)

Offset is ET38 - no rubber protruding but it's right on the limit. Still got the old MV2s should I need them for the MOT...

They look great! Made me decide I should definately go for 19's not 18's!

Great wheel design.

They definitely suit the stratus grey... great choice.

Take it their not on //M springs?? as mine look way closer to the arch with the same tyre sizes

I know the 3.0 Sport supposedly has "M suspension" - but not sure if they're actually the same springs or not, I'm sure somebody will know! I am tempted to lower a little, but to be honest there's already a tiny bit of rub when going over speed bumps so not sure how practical it would be.

Do you have any issues? Or anyone else who has lowered on 19s?

I've got 4 front 19" E46 M3 rims, standard 3.0 suspension, and they rub on the front wheel arch liners!

One option would be to change to 225 profile front tyres if you want to lower it and reduce any rubbing.

I have ET40 fronts with that profile wheel and tyre and i dont get rubbing, so i presume its the slight difference in the offset which is causing it.

Woah... Very nice with your bodycolour.

Have just ordered this in staggered fir 18". Need to decide on rubber. Would have gone for the 19"s but rubbing issues already highlighted. Love the black wheel look and hope it goes OK with Titanium Silver. Pics when I get them fitted.

Yes, they are similar to those VMRs, they're actually made by Finichi, don't know much about them as a make but the quality is excellent.
