Any problems running 9 inches on the front and 10 on the rears?

I researched that stock fronts are 8.5 and rears are 10. These are 9 in the front and 10 in the rears. I guess the only dilemma is if the 9 inch will rub the front.

Just curious.

No problemo but you should . Would be really helpful for you. There are a plethora of threads about 9" and 10" wheel widths for our car. Try searching RAC RG63. Hope this helps.

im currently running 19 x 9.5 and 11 rear with no issues what so ever...

NOW it will depend on your offset, tires, and size of wheels

"Stock" wheels, either style 219 or 220 are 8.5F and 9.5R. No problem running 9 and 10 - as kmarei said these are ZCP wheel widths. Those Apex wheels are nice.

You can go as much as 10 front 11 rear... But will be offset, tires, alignment, and suspension dependent.

Generally speaking, you'll need spacers on the front to put wheels that work well on an E46 M3 on an E9X M3 (assuming that's what you have). There's lots of information on Apex ARC-8's and appropriate tire sizes for your car on this site as there is a big Apex thread on this forum and one in the commercial forum.

9's will fit just fine up front.

You can get away with a 10" too if you are looking for the squared setup, with no rubbing.

Most of my clients use a 9" wheel in front, or wider. If you're looking for a 9" width specifically you'll want to use an offset that ranges from +28 to +18, depending on how conservative or aggressive you want the wheels to look, your tire choice, and your suspension modifications.
