Hey guys

I wanna get these wheels, do you guys think it will fit right...
this is estimated from what I've found on the web and forums, but I'm not 100% sure it will fit just right without grinding my shocks. anyone know or think it will work ?

18x9.5J ET15 (for front)
18x10.5J ET20 (for rear)

275/35/18 front
298/35/18 rear

any info valuable..

thanks !

295/30/18 should fit
I think 35's will rub.

I'm running 285/30/18's with my bilsteins lowered and I have no rubbing.

What 285/30s are you using Bio? And whats their price?

 

[clutchplate]

ok cool, good stuff. buy you reckon 9.5 and 10.5 and the 15 and 20 offsets are correct ?
thanks btw !

the rim widths should be fine.
Loads of guys running that setup on the M5's in the states.
With a spacer you can run M5 rears on the front

I had michelin pilot sport 2's and now running nankang NSII's in that width.

haha, cool beans ...
I hope they make RE055's in that size..

What are the Nankangs like with regards to grip?

The Nankangs have about 70% of the grip that the Michelins had.. But they are a 1/4 of the price

Still good for a 13.7 QM

Ok, cool, Im not too interested in 1/4 mile, more just fast, spirited driving up mountains and such.
