Thanks. Do you know what the track changes are front and rear. Even though they fit I'm trying to figure out if I want to play with the balance via spacers.

There's no room for spacers anywhere, except for maybe in the rear. 1st week of February we'll be receiving our 18x10.5's. If you want you can run 275's up front and a 295 in the rear on the 10.5's. But that setup can't be rotated, and you'd be limited to r-compounds made in those staggered sizes. Which is why I recommend the time tested 18x10" 275 square setup.

Perfect thanks. I'll most likely be ordering after the first of the year.

Hi - to clarify, does 275 up front mean on the 18x10 wheel or the 18x10.5? Assuming 18x10 front and 18x10.5 rear in black - can you pm me a price shipped to 27284? I'm a repeat customer as I bought the 18x10 for my e46m3 racecar.

Thanks!

275/35 up front would be on the 18x10" wheels. PM sent

Should we run a 275/30 front with a 295/30 rear on a 9.5/10.5 set or would 275/35 wtih 295/35 be better?

nobody makes a 275/30/18. If you'll be running a 9.5" front then I'd recommend the 265/35/18. If you run the 10 up front then I'd recommend the 275/35/18. And for the 10.5" rear you can run a 295/35/18.

I would think a 295/30 would be too short right? I've run the 295/35 on the HRE/Falline wheels with no issues and I think the 10.5 rim is pretty close in terms of offset.

Thx,

Barry, You are correct. I accidently wrote the wrong size. I've fixed my post. The correct rear size is 295/35/18

Bubbles · 01-04-2011, 01:10 PM

I ran 275 all round with no rubbing on the 10inch wheel. Wheels still look great. I wish I could get more camber upfront.

I get compliments all the time about the wheels and great finish.

Seriously. Love the wheels!

I'm in for a set if they clear the brembo 380mm as well.

An 18" wheel that will be released some time in the summer will be able to clear the 380mm brembos.

Are the 10.5"s shipping yet? If not, any ETA? Also, how much for a pair of 18x10.5" shipped to 34428 commercial. Also a pair of 18x10" to the same zip? Uncle only needs rears.

10.5's are due in the first week of February. Shipping for a pair would be about $50-60. We don't have them in yet so I'm not sure what their DIM weight will be.

The 10's are in stock now. They are $324 each plus $50.04 shipped for the pair.

for daily setup on my M3 sedan, I'm looking at 9.5 front and 10 rear, I'm looking to get an aggressive stance without spacers, would I able to run 255/40 front and 295/35 rears without rubbing? Or what would u recommend? Thanks

Scott,

If you want an aggressive stance without spacers then you will want the soon to be released 18x9.5" et22 version of the wheel. You can run either a 255/40 or 265/35. Those will be arriving mid/late march. There is a Group Buy list being organized now. The discount is currently 100 off + free shipping, but that will most likely be $150 off + free shipping before the official opening date of the Group Buy if we get enough members.

If you can't wait until March, then you could use our current 18x9.5" et35 wheel with 255/40's or 265/35's It doesn't need spacers to fit, but it's 13mm less aggressive. Here's a photo of what it looks like with a 265/35 NT-05 I think it's already an aggressive fitment and pushing it out further is not necessary for a daily driver setup.

The rear fitment with 295's will depend on what tire you plan on running. If it's a regular summer tire like a PS2 then you should be fine and rub free.

m3_love · 01-26-2011, 07:56 AM

Thanks for the response man, the et 22 sounds real good, if I can wait that long that is, haha, I'll do some more research, but I will keep an eye on the group buy thread for sure, thanks for your info!

Forgot to ask, what setup (wheel/tire specs) is this car running? Thanks

1MORELAP · 02-03-2011, 01:31 PM

Where is the GB? I am interested.

aus · 02-03-2011, 01:48 PM

Generally, the GB occurs when they bring in a new batch, otherwise it's the price on the website.

That is 18x10" square, with what I believe are 275/35/18 summer tires front and rear. That turn loads the car A LOT, so the tire looks stretched, but it's not.

These wheels are in stock and ready to ship, but there is a Group Buy for those willing to pre-order from our next shipment.
