Otherwise, any wide or square 245 tyre would be unlikely to fit unless it was at least rolled. This is just based on my car so it would be best to see what others have done.
If you get a set of vernier callipers and measure the rear lip thickness, what is the measurement?

Or I could just use a 45 offset like originally stated. Then I can run a 245/35 of any brand tire I choose without mucking with the fenders. |
True. I was just basing it on that, so far, we only know there will be a 19x8.5 ET40 and if the 18" was only made in the same offset. To also cater for a 3-series (non-M), an 18x8.5" could be made with 35/40/45 offsets or 33/38/45 for a more aggressive fitment - I'm hoping for the latter. And an 18x9.5" with 33/45/57 offsets, i.e. 12mm increments. Although, I would like to see someone make an 18x9.5" ET52 - basically OEM offset on a 1" wider wheel.
We just need the rest of the specs now! *Nudge, nudge* @VMRWheels
