    wheel advice

    I am seeking any advice on the subject. Yes ive searched and i havent found much or recived much help. So here is my situation. I am going to be widening my oem wheels, i have oem 162 wheels and i enjoy the wheels. But i can only go up to 265 on tires and i would like to go wider but keep the oem look. Ive considered style 95 wheels but again they dont necessary look oem on a 3 series. The wheels are curently 18"x8.5 et37 i am going to widen them by 2" so it would make them 18"x10.5 et62. Yes ive done the math sevral times and i have the n mbers right. Now I'm m on here to see if i can get advice to zee if im forgeting anything. More eyes the better. I am going to fit them by using 25-30mm spacers. I am aware that i will need fender modifications rolling/pulling and tire stretch. Even then i should be good after that. If not i will get a local indy shop to do further fender modifications. With the 25-30mm spacer the wheel will sit at about the same as a 10.5" with et37-32. This is where i would like to see from peoples experience on wheels similar to this fitment on an e90. Ive heard of tighter fitments so i have hope. I am about 3/4 way to pullng the trigger and sending them to Welfcraft to get widened. Thanks in advance!

    Um I would recommend just getting the right sized wheels for the tires you want to run.
