OP, your setup looks great. Thanks for posting.
As others have noted, it's likely it'll rub on track. I used to run 18x9et41 with 255/35r18 Toyo Proxes R888s (which has at least 6mm less poke than your setup). This setup rubbed the rear fender in some corners, attached is a pic of such. This is stock rear suspension. Last edited by rwalker; 02-14-2016 at 10:44 PM.. |

Thanks for your input rwalker.
If a set up like yours, which is obviously pulling much more forces than anyone will on the street, sometimes rubs in those corners with stickier tires, I'm a lot more confident it is perfectly fine for my street set up. This is obviously not a set up for hardcore driving on the track, due to the size and weight of the rims. That's what my Kosei's are for. =D I also have a drag racing set up which I'm trying to get together right now. Having a hard time sourcing what I need though...

rwalker What you think? I would never run these on the track due to weight, price of tires, etc.

I don't mean to sound discouraging. My rubbing wasn't a show-stopper; yours shouldn't be either. |

I can't speak from personal experience, but I'm pretty sure there's plenty room for 265s in the rear. Lots of folks run 'em, but most at higher offsets than OP.

Possibly, but I would get 5mm to be safe.

Correct. No bid deal though, just get some spacers. Almost every E36 racecar I've seen uses them.

I am looking for a bolt on fit that allows me widest tire possible (235/265) without any additional modifications (spacers, lowering, lca, rolling fenders, etc). |

It's a losing battle, just get spacers and move on. Either that or order some HRE's with custom offsets.

I have not test fit my Apex 18x8.5et45 wheels without tires on my car, but I run 5mm spacers in order for my 255/35r18 tires to clear the strut (implying 255/2+40=167.5mm of inner depth from rotor hat face to strut at tire height). |

This is saying it would poke out either 2mm or 4mm further than yours right? Do you think that would fit? Thanks |

The rears would be perfect. The fronts will hit the suspension for sure though.

Last two questions 1. If for some reason I did rub my fail safe would be a.) cut plastic shock cover back, or b.) sell 265s and go to 255s? (that would look fine on a 9.5 rim and have clearance right?) 2. 19x8.5 ET40 & 19x8.5 ET30 are the two offset options closest to what you have for the front. I would be willing to roll fenders if needed. Do you think 40, 30, or 30 with a 5mm spacer would be best. From what ive read I think 5mm works right? Would less than 5mm be a safer bet? Do those exist? |
