Hello again, so here are my conclusions after a very frustrating evening yesterday:

1 OFFSET: Major Issue, definetely WRONG one, just exactly as said by 525ienjoy and rafichicago....., ALTHOUGH, they look pretty good on 245/40 on the front... no major gap (just the normal one), and almost flush (no sunken look), spacers will help, though not really necesary for the front.

2. NOW: REAR is a completely different story.. MAJOR SUNKEN DEEP, probably a 20mm spacer will do (as said by the two masters mentioned above)..

3. Car collor + Wheel Collor = AWFUL LOOK FOR MY TASTE.. They change the look of the car, but not even imagining it with the spacers and everything.. still wont like them at all

4. Definetely they would look much better on a series 3... again as said by 525ienjoy.

5. BEST THING TO DO: START ALL OVER.... with a little help from my friends.....

LETS SEE SO I DONT MAKE MORE MISTAKES:

1.

R 18 x 8 front
R 18 x 9/9.5 rear
BOTH with a 20 offset??

Would this be OK....

2.

Consiering car collor... what is your opinion??

Thanks a lot, forum is great and people mentioned above have great expertise and provide excellent advice....

Go onto uh ebay and : 18 M5 2013 reps...this will get you in the door. if you want a wider front one search in their store M6 reps 18's and those are wider! This store ships from Anaheim, CA


18x8 or 8.5= 245/40/18 f

18x9 or 9.5= 275/35/18 r

in ET 20 yes!

if you want to get spacers, the project kics are really good plus they have bolts in them. I ran 15mm and 25mm on my 350z to space out my wheels, they were flawless and I tracked my car.

Search around for price, but this is them here: http://www.evasivemotorsports.com/mm...s_Wheel_Spacer
