Wheel selections for e36/8 M coupe

[Dagamus(NM)]

As I have never seen somebody do what I am considering I figure I should ask for opinions on the matter.

I recently sold my black vert and and getting ready to offload my 87iS along with the set of 16" AC Schnitzer type I's that go with it. This leaves me the set of ACS type I's in 17x8.5et41, a set of ACS type III's in 17x8.5et41 and a pair of ACS type II's in 18x10et19 that I had plans for on one of the cars that are leaving.

So looking at the M-Coupe with its staggered stock setup 17x8.5et41/17x9.5et9

I am thinking I have a couple options with the wheels I have.

I can run the type III's on the coupe with big spacers on the rear and just run meaty tires to try and make up some of the difference in wheel width.

These are most likely 18 or 19" in this image


I can run two of the 17" type IIIs on the front and the 18" type IIs on the rear. No spacer needed and the offsets are perfect.

These are what the rears would look like, just imagine them on the coupe



I can run two 17" type Is up front and the 18" type IIs in the rear.

Imagine these on the front but normal silver with a polished lip



I can run the type IIIs up front with the inserts to make them look like type IIs with the actual type IIs in the rear.

These are the inserts



And these are the type IIIs without/with the inserts in them



I can do nothing and wait for a pair of 18" type IIs in 18x8.5et41 to appear (yeah right).

I think this would look slick with the big euro 2-piece floating rotors with the big ///M logo on it.

I would list those wheels if they were in my possession, but only the schnitzers I list in the OP are what I have. Crackhead broke into my tuffshed, stole my 3pc ACS type 1s.

Thank you though, I couldn't make a search string that located cars with 17" wheels up front and 18" wheels in back. Pretty hard to tell the difference.

I don't think double stagger looks super good on M coupes, but I haven't seen any photos.

Here's some type IIs in 18x8.5, 18x10:

Those look like type I's unless they are 3pc race with the bolts blurred.

[kronus]

they are 3 piece.. I don't have any not-moving shots, sorry.
