will et30 wheels fit a 135 m sport?

kolosy · 01-02-2012, 10:13 AM

I've got a set of 8j17 winters with a 30 offset that came off a 335. the offset is outside the 35-45 "official" range. how big of a deal is a 5mm offset difference?

thanks

A 30 offset would have the wheels sticking out past the fenders. Just remember that the stock wheels have an offset of 49/F and 52/R. Less than 45 you start to get into fender rolling territory.

wouldn't it be the opposite? that it would sit too far inside the wheel well? i always get confused on this, so am going of the tire rack pic:

The lower the offset the farther out toward the fender the wheel will sit. 40mm offset would be very normal for an 8" wheel on this car. Using a 30 will push it out toward the fender another 3/8th's of an inch.
It would probably work but it would look a bit odd and the tire could rub (the fender.)
