Rota Grid Drifts

Anyone know if I run 18x8.5 ET30, will I have any issues with rubbing anywhere when I lower my M235i? I'm curious if they will stick out or if I will need spacers to make it flush with the car. I'm sorry for the rook question, I just can't seem to grasp the offset thing.

I have KW V2's coming and want to lower it pretty low. At least to the top of the tire.

Also, is there even a chance of fitting an 18x10 in the rear? Just curious.

UPDATED: All I see for the 18x10 is ET20. I think I'd have issues with clearance with the coilovers.

(F) 8.5 ET30 is definitely doable. This of course would depend on your ride height, tire size, and camber specs. 8.5 ET35 FRONT + 225 tires has been a pretty popular setup as of late. Here's an example with VMR wheels (not my pictures):

8.5 ET30 is 5mm further out to the fender vs. 8.5 ET35




(R) x10 I think can be achieved with a bit of negative camber and would most likely be best in an offset around ~ET40. This (again) would depend on your ride height, tire size, and alignment specs.

Use this link http://www.willtheyfit.com/ > it's a pretty good source for visualizing differences in widths+offsets
