Best offset fitment?

[TunedM2C]

I'm getting closer to picking up some wheels and I'm wondering what's the best offset for my car which is lowered on H&R sport springs? I plan to add PSS tires as well though I haven't decided which tire size would be ideal yet given the aforementioned. Thoughts?

Eric from Motorsport-Passion has, IMO, the best compromise: 18 inch M3 wheels (E92), so 8,5x18 and 9,5x18, no spacers. And Michelin PSS all around, 245/40 in front and 265/40 in the back. The offset on those wheels in 29 front and 23 back. With that, you've got it all: grip, progressive breakaway, endurance, wet handling and an almost comfortable ride. Even the price of a set is relatively affordable in 18, and your car will use many sets ... But it all boils down to what you want to do with your car: showing off or not ? Road or track ? Second car or daily driver ?

You can alway stick with stock 19 diameter and factory 9 and 10 widths for no fitment issues. If you are going wider, how much wider do you plan to go?

As wide and aggressive as possible without rubbing. Again I'm on H&R springs too.

9.5" front et22 to 30(max) and 10.5" rear et27 with 255 front and 275-285 rear. 255 front will rub on the plastic liner, there is just no room for anything much wider.
