    Offset for stupidly wide wheels?

    What offset is needed to have a 10" wide wheel up front with no (or as little possible) rubbing. Only the inside matters, fender clearance is not an issue.

    How about 12" out back? again, inside only, fenders don't matter.

      8" maybe with varying degrees of fitment. 10" I just don't seeing it happening.

        It would have to be super low, like 5. That is if fender clearance was a non issue, youd need one hell of a widebody.

        Dunno about the 12" though, my 8" run pretty dam close in et28
        Im now E30less.

            What kind of shop did that? I won't let shops touch my BBS. I do them myself, ie Mounting and Balancing.

              Rubbing with 10's up front? What's the offset on your RS's anyway?

                  didn't rub, i had the front just less than 1" gap b/w fender and tire. probably it will rub if it's lower than that.

                    front: ET 5, w/ 25 mm adapters
                    rear: ET 3, w/ 20 mm adapters
                    So you the rims in the front are ET30, with 25 mm spacers, or are they effectively ET -20mm?

                        nope, there's more complicated calculation behind it. those offset that i posted are final offsets.

                              I had KW V2's on my Jetta, I wanted to get a set for the Bimmer but my KW dealer here says there is no listing for E30 :? Also did they make RS's 4x100 in 16"? I'v only seen 15" RS' in 4x100
