Looking at gunmetal m3 reps 18x8.5 et 34 for front and 18x9.5 et34 for rear.

Fronts I was thinking 245/40/18 and rear 265/35/18.

The rims also come in 20 offset.

Would like to compromise between traditional square and staggered setup.

This is for black 2007 335i sedan stock height.

Thanks in advance.

Anybody.....I need to put deposit and would like to know if anyone has this setup or will it work?

The 20-offset will be a bit to agressive I think, but it could work since the car is´nt dropped The other 34-offset will fit without issues at all, but I would choose a 235/40/18 in fronts...

The +20 all around is quite aggressive and will have rubbing issues with the 245/265 combo you have. You'll need to run narrower tires and possibly fender roll.

Thanks i will go with the 34 offset rims and 245f and 265 rear.

I'm just second guessing the gunmetal on all black theme.

I'm going to search for cheaper gold rims as seen on another post. Think it looks little bit better and unique.

I would go for gunmetal if I had a black car, can´t go wrong. Post some pics here when the wheels are mounted!

If you choose F245 + R265 the front wheels will have 1,5% bigger diameter than the rear. Why not go for F235, then you´ll only have 0.2% diff and no risk for rubbing even if you drop the car in the future..?

Why not go with 245/275 or 235/265?.

My thoughts are this would put the car closer to the traditional stagared setup f225/R255, which I don't want as I already test drove it.

I like the square setup but little to easy to feather more gas in the corner to produce a tail exit slide. I will keep this as my winter setup as it's soooo much fun.

For summer I was thinking of trying 245/255 but want a slightly wider rear so it became 265. Wish I could test drive every combination but have to start somewhere. This is my logic. It may or may not make sense.

I see, point taken
