Above: I like this look.



Few questions:



1) What's the size and offset of these wheels in the pictures?

2) What tires are they and what size?

3) I currently have stock calipers but plan on a StopTech 6 piston setup in the future. What size wheels do I need to get?

4) For #3, will it fit w/o rubbing?



I have stock ZCP suspension now, but plan to lower it a little bit later (not sure what setup yet).

These are the 18x10" ET25 EC-7's in the Satin Black finish. This customer is user Arif[ on this forum, and he had mentioned he used Michelin Sport Cup tires, though did not specify in what size. We would think that they are 275/35/18 as that is the most standard tire size for this car. The StopTech ST-60 380mm BBK would be compatible with our EC-7's in 18x10" ET25, along with the ARC-8's in the same size.

The 18x10" ET25 squared setup with 275/35/18 s a direct bolt on set up with street tires, and some R-compounds such as the Nitto NT01 would work without the need of aftermarket suspension or camber plates if you plan to move on to those in the future. The square setup will be beneficial for track use due to its more neutralized feel. It will also allow you to rotate your tires to maximize their life span. Some owners don't feel the understeer of the E9x M3 and prefer to stick to the staggered setup to maintain the feel of the stock car and avoid any unwanted oversteer caused by a square setup.

Since you should not need to use any spacers at all, the 75mm stud length would be the recommended size for the stud conversion kit.
