I just want to make sure I did this right, so all comments are welcome.

Front: 19x9 255/35 +28 PS2
Rear: 19x10.5 305/30 +28 PS2

Will I get rubbing if I go with a coilover kit?

[TRZ06]

I went with 255/35/19 and 295/30/19. It should be done in about a week. I am getting excited. I don't know the off-sets, but it is HRE's recommended fitments, whatever those are. I went with Brushed Aluminum w/ the clear coat. I plan on keeping the HRE center caps as well

I am wrapping them in Pirelli P Zero "Hero" tires

Nice be sure to post pics.
Are you doing coilovers or springs?

With coilovers, you can get rubbing if you would like. Since the height is adjustable, rubbing of t he tires is up to you. You decide the height of the ride.

I definately will.

Coilovers definately not, the M3 suspension is good enough that I can't justify spending $2500, now the 335I I did do coilovers, but M3 stock suspension is about 90% to 95% of what the KWV2s are.

Springs, I am not sure yet. I don't want to sacrifice ride or handling for looks. I am going from 245/40/18 265/40/18 to 255/35/19 295/30/19 will probably make the ride quality about all I would want to do.

you should go more aggressive in the rear.

you probably will not rub on the coilover kit because you can adjust your camber/stiffness and height.

Can the offset be changed? I heard they just have an M3 specific from HRE and thats that.

If you request anything other than what they recommend, they will try to talk you out of it.

I tried to get them to make them with OEM specs and they wouldn't/couldn't do it.

I think that for mass producing purposes, they have their machine set-up for certain specs, and to alter that is a hassle. That is my opinion.

I have had a couple of conversations w/ Matt @ HRE and feel comfortable that they know what they are doing. I have about another week to wait until mine are done and I will report when they are done.

The issue you run into when going w/ aftermarket wheels, are looks VS performance. The goal especially when spending thousands of dollars is to increase both, and I hoping that is what I get with the HRE's.

I think 11" is more suited for a 305 rear.

I just inquired about 9.5 fronts for the HRE. Apparently they aren't available yet in the forged wheel.

Does anyone have a spacer recommendation for the front. The rears should look fine (changed to a 295/30)
