Here's my coupe on 18" CSL reps (staggered Riva DTM’s) + eibach springs.

Simon, I don't suppose you have a pic of the wheels on with the standard springs? I've got the same colour coupe as you and going through all the wheel options (atomic, riva, zito, axe, avante etc) and really like the look of yours. I'm just trying to decide between 18s and 19s given possible issue with the ride on 19s, but then not sure if the 18s will look a bit small on the standard msport suspension though (I think your setup looks perfect).

Thanks for posting the pic, it's very useful indeed to see the same colour car!

i ended up going for 18" CSL which lasted all of a day, i thought at standard right height they didn't look right and i ended up putting the style 135m's back on as i have no intentions of changing the shocks or springs.

these were ebay specials which to be fair for 18s looked a great replica & were £365 delivered

jamie_z4 - what was so bad about the look that you got rid of them after only one day? Maybe I just don't know what a perfect fit is (looking at my 17's, that might be a given... ) but they look ok to me.

Just didn't like how far they stuck out @ standard ride height & that they weren't OEM, I'm all about that OEM life now :lol:

I've looked at both long & hard & just the csl's edge it for me, it's that rear concave!

It would be difficult to get this effect as much with a rep on a non-M because of the less aggressive rear offset. ET50 vs ET27, plus another half inch for the wider rim. The dish is pretty dishy!

Heh, yeah I saw the pics of the wheels you bought. Just spent an absolute age working out offsets, wheel widths etc recently, and didn't appreciate how much of an effect it has on the dished effect that lots of people love. On US forums it seems pretty common to roll the front arches and use adjustable top mounts to try and get a square or square-ish setup with a concave front (9.5") as well. Looks absolutely amazing!

yeah my mates got 4 rears on his e46 M3 looks the dogs nads

The Atomic CSL reps are hard to beat on price & no one could say they don't suit the ZC or R
Id go for similar but different with the Avant Gardes http://www.bmautosport.co.uk/showroom/product_info.php/new-avant-garde-m359-spoke-alloys-hyper-silver-deeper-concave-rear-p-4683?cPath=51_23_122_32_211

These would also look killer against your MB paint , ooooooh the dish on the rears

Know it's an old post.

I'm really liking the second set you posted ifg6

Afternoon Mr Wilks,

I know this an old'ish thread, but having been searching and reading through countless 'will these fit?' posts, you seem to be one of the forums go to people for advice on the subject, so I'd appreciate your opinion.
Would these Avant Garde M359's actually fit on an E85/E86 (non-M)? Using willtheyfit.com and using other posts on here detailing widths/ offsets that folk have fitted without further mods/ rubbing, the biggest seems to be 8.5" ET35 front and 9.5" ET33 rear.
I think the 10" rear would just about fit, but may be very tight on the outer edge/ arch as it would be very slightly (1.4mm) further out than 9.5 ET33. The 9" ET35 front though would be a further 24.7mm further out than standard (108) and 6.3mm more than 8.5" ET35, which from previous posts seems to be very tight and generally require 225 wide tyre. I'd also want to use a 235 tyre on the 9" AG so they don't look too stretched.

Anybody fitted AG M359's on E85/E86 before? My searches haven't found anything.

Thanks
