That's a bad news for me, because - as far as 19" solutions - of all the examples shown in this thread I loved the classy fitment as per post #12. It's said there to fit without rubbing or modifications, and even with some drop (on H&R I already have, too). Would the F22 tolerances be that wide?!!

Pity...

Are you sure the information you gave me in the last couple of posts is accurate? Please don't take any offense - I realize it's Holiday, and all those fitment numbers may get one confused - but:

1. You say you don't have 8.5x18 wheels available with ET=40. Then how about the V703 (I'm basing on VMR EU pages, so here it is: http://www.vmrwheels.eu/wheels_bmw_a...3_vb3.html)???

So my question repeated- if I go with V703 and the following fitment:

F: 8.5x18" ET40, 225/40R18 tire I have now and 235/40R18 in the future
R: 9x5x18 ET45, 245/35 R18 tire I have now and 255/35R18 in the future

- will this work well for me, now and in the future with 10mm wider tires?

2. Another of your posts I don't quite get is #81, recommending (if I am getting you right) that I'd be best off going with your earlier generally recommended fitment:

F) 8.5 ET45 + 3 or 5mm spacer > 235/40/18
* Spacer required for appropriate suspensions clearance
or
(F) 8.5 ET35 (No spacer) > 225/40/18
* 235 tire with this spec may require modification depending on ride height, alignment/camber, and tire brand/model

(R) 9.5 ET45 or ET50 > 245/35/18 or 255/35/15

Again, the front is not a solution for me if I would like to get an 8.5x18 wheel, and use it for some 25k km with my current OEM PSS in 225/40R18 size but once worn out, replace the tire with a 235/40R18. It's obvious I'd like to put the 225/40R18 on the 8.5x18 ET 35 (no spacers required), and for 235/40R18 I couldn't reuse this wheel without fender roll-up - do you agree? (I'm dropped on H&R).

So- all in all - I still think the fitment as in my Point 1, above, looks like the optimum way to go. For the first period with 225/40R18 tires I have, I could even use 5mm spacers at the front...Please confirm whether you indeed make a mistake, or it's me who is still in error...
The V703 is not offered in ET40 for 18" fitments, only the 19s are offered in ET40. The V703s are only offered in ET35 for the front 8.5.

Definitely looks like 18", and confirms my impression it's a great mistake to use the same aggressive wheel widths / offsets with 18" as with 19" setups. I don't know why people do it; and 18" setup should imho:
- be based on 8J (front) and 9J (rear) rims, and not 8.5J and 9.5J, which are good for 19"
- offset should be 40 (front) and 45 (rear); poking out like this is a very bad example of rice tuning

Why does the wheel diameter affect the width or the offset? No matter the diameter shouldn't the amount of poke be the same unless you start altering the body or suspension?

I would like to have my car dropped 15mm on H&R springs, and the OEM 18" staggered wheels (with OEM size tires) to be flush with the fenders using spacers. For summer I'd like to buy 18" wheels sized presisely so that both setups look (and drive) identically. Here is my plan; please correct me if I'm making some errroneous assumptions here:

1. With my winter OEM 18" wheels on, I replace the springs to drop the car
2. I test various spacer thicknesses until I achieve my goal - the winter tires flush with fenders (am I to expect a need to use spacers as thick as stated in the above quote?); when ready I have my winter setup done
3. Now I calculate ETs for my 7.5x18 (f) and 8x18 (r) forged wheels I want to custom-Order for summer:

Front: 45-18=27 (30 for safety)
Rear: 52-26= 26 (28 for safety)*

*Just noticed the minimum width of BC Forged 18" wheels is 8", so if I want them staggered they must be 8" (f) and 8.5" (r). This of course will influence the above minimum ET offsets calculations by adding quarter of an inch per side, i.e. ca 6 mm - so my offsets would need to be circa 35 mm for both front and rear

4. I order e.g. BC Forged 8x18 ET35 and 8.5x18 ET35, and - using them with 225/40R18 (f) and 245(255)/35R18 (r) tires - I have now almost exactly the same stance, ride and handling as with my OEM-wheel based winter setup.

Do I make any error in the above assumptions?

PS. Why am I thinking of 18 and not 19" summer setup, and with the wheels and tires of exactly the same widths as my OEM staggered ones?

1. Because my BMW dealer is threatening me that with anything more aggressive, I'll lose my entire drivetrain warranty...

2. Because with lower ET values AND wheel diameter, the concave effect should be the most pronounced - am I right here?

3. Last but not least: because I want my car to look and handle the same throughout the year, and not differently in summer than in winter

I've edited my post because it seems that there is no real solution to get much more tread patch under the M235 without flaring the fenders. I don't want to change my wheels for a miniscule increase in tread width. Wheel style is a different discussion.

I found Avant Garde M310 wheels sized 18x8 et35 and 18x9 et35 or et38 off the shelf, would those sizes work for you?

Yeah, you can run a 19x8.5 ET35 square setup. I would recommend a 225/35/19 tire. With camber adjustments or an ET45 with a 5mm spacer, you should be able to run a 235 tire.

sounds good. thanks!! most likely going the 19x8.5 ET35 225/35/19 square setup. running a 19x9.5 ET45 seems to poke a little more and may cause issues with yearly checks we have here in HI.
