how aggressive can we go in the front for wheels?
#21
I am running 10mm spacers in front. When I ordered my set two years ago I had to work with sizes offered in the catalog. My fronts are actually what Volk recommends for the rear of our cars. My rears are the standard E46 M3 spec. rear, 19x10.5 +25. Tires are 255/35 and 285/30. Alignment spec is -.8 degrees camber front, zero toe. Rear is stock spec. I would like a little more front camber, but I do not have camber plates.

I agree with trying to make this thread a source of information, but it does help if it is correct information. Seeing as you don't really even know what size and offset wheels you had, I hope you ordered something that fits.
Odd the stickers were missing, aside from size and offset they also display build date, bolt pattern, model, and color. I have a set of TE37s here that are well over ten years old and still have the stickers solidly attached to the barrels. Regardless, I'm suprised you didn't read the back of the spokes when you took them off to sell them.
E46 M3 fenders are not rolled, front or rear. Current M3s rears are rolled flat like E60 M5s, the front fenders are plastic and can't be rolled. Current M3 wheel sizing would be closer to what is needed on an E60, but spacers are still needed in front.

as i said it was far enough back that im going from memory and if i was off a bit youll have to forgive me on that but thats what i remembered when i measured the rim.
And yes what I ordered fits, pretty aggressive but fits. Ive seen it on some e39's but have yet to see it on an e60, though fitment for both are generally fairly similar.

255/25 and 285/30? thats a chunky tire
now we have to start factoring in suspension mods if you are running that chunky of a tire
also it looks like your working with extended bolts? is that correct?

I am running 255/35 and 285/30 because I like to turn and accellerate. I'm not a big fan of the uber stretch tire thing. Besides, my tires are within .32" of stock height front and rear, and are almost .75" shorter than most of the 20" tires people have here.
I am using Turner stud conversions and Ray's extended lugnuts. I hate wheel bolts.

I've been a member since 2007. I choose not to post most of time.
Considering you thought 19x10 +25 might fit in front.... best of luck to you.
I have no suspension mods, try reading my first post in this thread again. I have very little room between the rim and strut, so coilover clearance could possible be an issue, but everything is fine with the stock sport suspension.

You asked about aggressive fitment front wheels. I provided solid information answering your question, and your subsequent questions thereafter. Along the way, yes, I did contest that the set of wheels you had previously on your vehicle was in fact not any of multiple sizes you previously stated them to be. You may disagree with my findings, but comparing pictures of your car versus mine, the difference is quite obvious.
I could say far more than my "shitty little remarks", but I don't want to overwhelm you. That, and I'm trying the whole "protect the fragile ego" thing. Take care and good luck.

Dude, what are you, twelve? Don't get butt hurt about my comments, it's only the internet. I'll try and protect your fragile ego better next time, but I must warn you I'm not known for sugar coating things.

You provided what you had and made the claims that while I admitted it was a while ago and I was going from memory and the wheels were second hand, you belittled what I had bought and some of my questions.

For what its worth, I got something useful out of this.
19x9.5 et22 (+10mm spacer) 255/35/19
19x10.5 et25 285/30/19
OEM Sport Suspension
Alignment spec is -.8 degrees camber front, zero toe. Rear is stock spec.
Tires are within .32" of stock height front and rear, and are almost .75" shorter than most 20" tires.
Turner stud conversions and Ray's extended lugnuts.
Mind sharing additional pictures of your car and stance quickbrick? Also, do you see accelerated tire wear due to the front camber?
Your specs are ideal to me and actually close to what I may be running...once I get my car back. I may lean more towards spacers than the stud conversion though.
Please pm if you prefer your privacy.
Thanks.
