NEW to the rim world HELP!

MaineBMW335ie92 · 12-22-2013, 09:34 PM

Hello forum, this is my first wheel purchase: for my winter set. Looking to buy a set of Avarus AV6
Here is the data:
Rim: 18"x8"
Offset: 45mm
Backspacing: 6.26"
Bore: 79.50
Bolt Pattern: 5-120
Tire Size:225/45/18

I am worried about the offset, and backspacing. My only concern is will the wheels rub the fenders, wheel well, or if they will hit the struts? This is for a 2007 335i e92 stock suspension.

That offset is very conservative.
No issue with rubbing on the fenders.
They may hit the strut in the front but nothing a spacer can't solve (and you'll likely want it for looks since they will be very tucked)
Your issue is the hub size which should be 72.56.
You will need hub rings but that's a huge hub size damn

you might try moving or posting your thread in the wheel / tire forum. Bet there are members there who might sell you a set of genuine bmw wheels, for cheap. many of us have upgraded to aftermarket and need a home for our stock wheels. check out the members for sale items forum as well, if you haven't yet.

Not looking for stock wheels. I'm going after the aftermarket winter wheel selection which is very limited/rare. Already posted in that section but thanks for the recommendation.
