I am going to be upgrading my wheels finally to Beyern Mesh.

I have no idea about offset or which size would be best.

The setup I am thinking of doing is
Beyern Mesh 19"
General Exclaim UHP's (best bang for the buck)
?Tire size?
265/30/19 Rear?
235/35/19 Front?

I am not planning on lowering the car right away but I will most likely install H&R sport springs if I think it needs it to fill the gap. SO I don't want to go to big with the tires because I do not want to rub and I dont want to get all caught up with rolling the fenders etc.


As far as offset is concerned what do you guys recomend? I want the wheels to be as flush to the fender as possible but again living in new york I want to be careful not to rub.

Thanks in advance guys.

Very nice post. I'm in the same position as you and I have the same questions as well... I'm going for different wheels though (Modulare 3 at 19").
I dont think you'd mind somuch in rolling the fenders (as you will benefitted massively from the appearance once done).

I'd like to see how's this post will end-up

:b ump:

Any help?

BTW one more thing...what size wheels should I get for a staggered set up?

19x9 in the front
19x9.5 in the rear?

Do 19x8.5 with 235/35/19 in the front
and 19x9.5 with 265/30/19 in the rear.

+1

You can probably get all wheels in 30ET offset sizing as well.

+30 all around for the offsets would be nice and flush, but with E92 watch out for rubbing in the rear. +33 is ideal in the rear, but something like a +35 could work. Anything from +30 through +40 works up front for 19x8.5.

Thanks guys...I am waiting to get a check from my wheel and tire insurance and then once I get that I should hopefully be getting the wheels and tires.

I think I am set on the Beyern Mesh with General tires.

I forget the offsets on the Beyern Mesh's , but I'd suggest to get on the E92 coupe an ET 33 -35 offset. You'll be fine with a 235/35/19 and 265/30/19 tire. Even though you might be ok with an ET30 I'd suggest to be on the careful side since you dont want to risk rubbing and go with the offsets I mentioned, Even going up to a 38 or higher wont be a bad idea it will just start to get more sunk in.

Good choise on the H&R sports they will definitely fil in those gaps. And post some pics we want to see your car once its ready to be seen!

Ordered em today should have em installed on Monday morning fingers crossed!!.

Only problem is....apparently no one has the rears in stock 19x9.5 ET30....not even beyern/tsw out in cali. So we are going to go with et45 in the rear with eibach 15mm spacers.

I will post plenty of pics when they are installed. Can't wait.
