Alloy fitment

Hello. Replica 18’’ 437M alloys 8j and 8.5j staggered setup with et35 and et38
Would they fit an f30? Especially the rear?
What would be the best tyre size?
225/45/18 and 255/40/18?

they'll fit in the searchbar

437m rep discussion has been beaten to death on here.

I have searched but could not find anything on 18 inch reps as 437m normally come as 19 inch

From my research I gather that the rears would poke out 9mm more than stock based upon the above

Is 9mm acceptable? Would it look ok?
Going from et47 to et38 on the rear
And et34 to et35 on fronts

itll sit in 1mm up front and 9mm is fine out back given that many people throw a 15mm spacer on for the stock wheels making the et effectively 32. You may want to look into a spacer up front to match the offset of the rear so it looks balanced front to back.

you could run four 18x8.5 et38s in the reps as well if you wanted and run a 245 or 255 square.

tire sizes should remain the stock size.
