Most manufacturers go for concave wheels which look great but need an offset that won't fit. Much like the photoshop above that has no chance of going on at the back lol.

Morr and all the forged wheel makers will be able to do something as they just custom make them but don't expect big concaved rear wheels
These wheels will fit a ET35 9.5 in the rear quite easily, the render is something quite similar to that size

The better question should probably be - what tire size is one planning to run on the et35 9.5 wheel...

Curious if these will fit. (yes I know the site SAYS they fit) Seems pretty inexpensive comparatively speaking - anyone have experience/knowledge about the manufacturer?

Yep, told me the same thing.....

I checked with MORR, they claim to have several sizes and styles that fit, but won't release the available offsets nor do they have any pics.

There is NO chance that they will be that concave. That is more than the F30 manages and they can fit 11" wheels with some lube and good will.
9.5" ET35 sounds like a lot too, comparable to my rear wheels and they are flush when slammed on the F30.

But I would love the be proven wrong since the F22 deserves nice wheels!

I can see how a 9.5 et35 will fit and would love to see it, tons of poke but don't think it's something your average joe will like to run

The AluFelgen CS7 in 1er fitment should work nicely, that might be the route I go unless I see something else I like

The problem isn`t the rear, it`s the front.
I`m on 8,5 et 40 in the front and it rubbed a bit.

But I`m running 9,5 et 50 in the rear and it looks like this:

I sort of remember your car and the height is lower than h&r springs i believe. What tire size are you running? might wanna stretch a little bit and then you'll be perfectly fine.

nice. the front looks perfectly flush. I'm surprised, would think back rubs more than front.
