18 x 9.5 rear with 255/35/18 ?
Can't get the 50 offset from VMR, they're out of stock.
I'm going with the 45 offset VMR 710 now. They're suggesting a 245 width to ensure no rubbing. That's the safe response.....what can I run in actuality? I hear the toyo R1R might run a little narrow? Would a set of those in 255 rear work? I can't find any decent tires in 245-35-18. I have swift springs on koni yellows. I'm running 255-35-18 kdws on stock wheels now.

Why not just be a bit more patient and get a better fitting wheel? Even +50 is low for the 1er. +60 give or take a few millimeters would allow you to run something like 275/35/18 without much issue.

FYI: Factory camber specs on the rear range from negative 1.6 to negative 2.3.

Thanks Chunner, that helps put it into perspective on how much work is needed.
Think a 245 - 40 - 18 would work? @Freon If you must know, I'm not going to wait over 1.5 months for a wheel when I am switching away from winter wheels now. I don't mind the aggressive look either.

You might check out this thread and look into forgestar as it appears they have lots of offset options that would work very well with the 1 series. http://www.2addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1082416 Disclaimer: i don't know forgestar well and have no clue if they might have a similar long lead time, but figured id toss this into the mix incase you were interested in checking them out. |

Unless something has changed from when I bought my Forgestars you should expect 4 to 6 weeks. They build to spec which is nice. You can order down to the exact mm of offset. I ordered a square setup and their default was 45 offset on 8.5 wheels which is about right.

Thank guys,
I got the VMR because they're a proven common wheel. Ideally, I'd want to do 19s with a slight bit of camber so it looks aggressive. I just don't want to put in that work / cash now. Thanks @[Ultimateone] Have you made any changes to the camber? My tire shop already told me they pretty much maxed out camber on my car to ensure theres even tire wear (on stock wheels). I'm pretty green to wheel offsets, would fitting these wheels change the need for that in a good or bad way?

You're making decisions based on your subjective desire for a particular look, so it's hard to advise further based on objective goals. You have to decide your give and take between performance (widest possible tires, optimal camber) and looks.
Ultimately a +58 or +62 rear wheel would allow you to fit even something like a 275/35/18 or 285/30/18 without being forced to increase camber, so your only concern with regards to camber would be performance and wear, not avoiding fender rub. I personally don't think the car needs additional rear camber for performance or wear reasons, but that could vary based on your driving style. I also don't believe a change in offset (ignoring other concerns like the tire rubbing something) requires a change in camber to even out wear. Strictly from a geometry standpoint offset doesn't change your camber. You could argue a wider track has a minor impact on body roll by changing your motion ratio and effective wheel rate, but outside of significant changes in offset I think that's moot.

I don't see why that fitment would be a problem at all. Even if it required a slight roll, no big deal? I have 10.5 ET 50, 265/35 and had to grind my fenders all the way down flat
