The wheels I was inquiring about, however, were in stock and ready to ship. He even e-mailed me a pic from his blackberry of 4 mesh 8 rims in the finish I wanted assembled. I paid the next day and thy were at my door in Vancouver,BC within 1 week.

They arrive and they are 8.5 front and 11" rears. This sucks as I already purchased the tires Miguel recommended - 255/30/20 and 285/30/20 Nitto Invos for the quoted 9" fronts and 10.5" rears.

Now if I did run these exact tires what do you guys think? Front tire a little too large for 8.5" rim? 285 too stretched on 11" rear?

Why exactly is it bad to run 2.5" wider rears compared to fronts as some have expressed? Enlighten me please.

These wheels are mainly for cruising but I still want good handling...

Can anyone Comment on Shady1's car. He has this exact sizing setup inn this forum and everyone compliments his ride.

I think Nate@IND can answer your questions on the wheels and tire set up. I purchased my wheels and tires off his Original AW M3 I have no problem with my set up at all. Send Nate@IND a PM and he should be able to help you out or give you some good solid advice Good luck. Sorry this is the first time I notice this post I don't aways check this section out because I already have enough wheels for my M3
