Can we Talk Offsets?

geared · 07-31-2012, 03:51 PM

135i - v1 KW suspension.

Want the car LOW - tuck a little tire in front, hella-frush in back.

Dont want to RUB.

Want 19's. would love a Fat rear tire.

What are the best widths and offsets to get this done? Proven setups only please.

There's a sticky at the top of the page with pretty much every combo you could wish for.

Are you planning to add camber plates, roll or work on your fenders, etc?

Finding a rear wheel you like with such a high offset is the hardest part (Forgestar is about the best choice that I know of). Then if you get the offsets right, the front will still want to rub when really low. Something in the range of 225 to 235/35/19 fr on a 8.5 wide et40ish wheel. Rear 275/30/19 on a 9.5 or 10 inch wide 55ish et.

Most of us have rear offsets like mine listed below and have to run slightly stretched setups and/or can't go to low and/or we rub. The brand of the tire will make a big difference also.

Good luck!

I must be missing something because I don't see it.
