I had 18s on for a while, but the tire was like a 225/40/18... a bit on the tall side. The wheels were 18x8.5 with an offset of et40. I will run them again when I feel rich and I decide to buy new tires.

I am on H&R sport spings and I added an extra 15 mm spring pad in the back to try and get rid of some of the rubbing along with some rolling of the fender.


I think this was before I added the extra sping pad

I know Jordan had 18" CSL reps on his. Not sure on tire size, I think 245/40's iirc. I'm pretty sure you're gonna need coilovers to fit that kind of meat in there though, unless you don't mind some rubbing. I'm running 235/40R17's on mine and they are pretty tight (even with pulled fenders).

I need some more pictures of the 5lug swap with 18's. I found a nice set of wheels but I'm thinking they may be too big. To those of you who have 18's what size tires are you running?

awesome thread, skippy needs moar

1990 325is.

Rear:

318ti subframe and trailing arms. weld-in camber and toe tabs. Bilstein shocks, H&R Sport springs. e36 sedan calipers, custom brakelines so they don't need to be mounted upside-down. Stock e30 ABS sensors with washers to shim them out.

0.30 degrees total toe-in, 1 degree camber.

245/40-17 tires on 8 1/2" DS2 rims. Slight fender roll.

Front: e36m3 spindles, brakes and control arms (97+). Offset CAB's. Koni cut-a-strut inserts. H&R sport springs. 215/40-17 Michelin Pilot on 7 1/2 DS2 rims. 0.120" shims for 2 degrees camber per side, 0.10 degrees total toe-in.

e36 ABS sensors spliced into stock wiring.

Perfectly centered, slight rub at extreme lock.

Brake bias valve to rear removed.

Overal impressions: Car tracks straight, corners on rails and stops on a dime. Braking is phenominal!

I never thought those wheels would look good, but there you go changing my mind...

[rkettner]

My Alignment specs:

[e30_kid89]

setup: e36 m3/318ti
wheels: old - MOMO Mirage 16x7.5 ET35
new - BBS RZ aka Style 5's 16x8 ET23
tires: 225/40-16 Toyo T1R's
suspension: Z3M Coupe H&R Coilovers

if anyone wants to buy these MOMOs for cheap, let me know.

Wait what who?

were you able to fit the m3 brakes in both those wheels?

[HybridNz]

the rear offset is et30 @ 8.5 in that photo .. my rear 9.5's are et32 which I calculated that they would stick out 10.7mm more which is what I will pump the gaurds to clear.

[HellzMindPlaya]

What offset are your rear wheels? Are the M-Coup trailing arms not longer like the Z3 2.8l ones are? I tried the Z3 2.8 ones and there was no way in hell they were going to fit, but your setup looks great.

The picture in my sig is with the Z3 2.8l trailing arm installed the wheels are 18x8.5 et 40. Fender crunch city.
