exactly, z06 wheels. I've got a 325i sitting in my garage, and .... yah ummm lets see... Anywhos, ive got a thought I wanted to run by you about wheel offset and get your input.
...if the wheel offset is very different from stock, would that cause unneccessary axial loading of wheel bearings? causing unwanted thrust forces which increase rolling resistance and also reduce bearing life? I don't have a source or anything on this just something I was thinking and wanted to see if you (or others) think the same.

Noob to tire staggering here......OK doing a suspension upgrade.. i have a set of 215/50/16 in the fronts that have less than 200 miles on them so obviously no need to replace these and i don't want to buy a brand new set of 4.. So what size would be a good call for the rear for a good staggersigpic"God made cars to be RWD and standard"

Suspension on the car
KW 60/40 lowering springs with kw struts and shocks.
Wheels
15x8 offset 19
Will 225/50/15 fit with out having to roll or pull fenders?
I can't decide if I should run all season
225/50/15 or Summer tires in 205/50/15
Money is keeping me from 225/45/15I'm cooler in person.

If the geometry ends up the same I'm one to believe the load on the axle/hub/etc remains the same. For example a +35 wheel with a 15mm spacer does NOT provide any additional stress than a +20 wheel. I've read every argument for both sides and stay firmly planted in this camp.
