Widest rims for e30 m3

[shaz873]

Hi, quick question..... whats the widest rims that you can get on an e30 m3 with standard suspension and ride hight? Need to make my car stand out hard..... im not into spending huge amounts on lowering/new suspension etc. Most i can do is arch work. Any recommendions out there!!!????? I know bbs rs rims default, are there any other mad looking extra deepdish wheels. Pics with sizes would help inc rims up for sale.

Thanks!!!!!!!

I'm running 8x17 fronts and 9x17 on the rear, tyres are 215/40 on the front and 245/35 on the rear, these are the sizes I was advised to go for, any bigger and there would be rubbing problems. Looking up at the rear arch, there isn't much room for anything bigger!!

I've also got bilstein sports and H&R springs, I have no problems whatsoever, not even with the car on full lock.

Hope this helps!

I run 9x17 and 10x17 when i had my M3, but i had to get my arches rolled and like Simon say's you will have slight rubbing problems with this setup, but my goodness it looks good I once let my mate drive the car and i drove behin him and all i could see was the lip of the rim sticking out slightly past the arch and it looked mental.

Keskin do nice deep dish wheels, and if you really want to be different, then go for the Brock B1's. The are very deep at that size and they are no where near as expensive as BBS or some of the other big names, but look just as good.

hi it is possible to run 10x17 at front too
i know a man that is
but arches must be rolled and offset has to be bang on

10's on the front Good Lord. He must go through tyres like nobody's business I personaly think 10's would not look right on the front. I think a car looks so much better with fat rims on the rear and slightly smaller rims on the fronts, but i guess each to theri own
