Hi all,

Looking to pick up a used set of TE37's with tires and want to know if this set will work on my car without any rubbing. It's a family car so safety 1st.

Car is an e90 M3 with EDC on stock suspension.

Here are the wheel specs:

TE37RT
Nitto NT05 tires
18 X 9.5 +22 (275/35/18)
18 X 11 +34 (295/35/18)

Question is will it rub and any issues with EDC or ABS due to diameter differences?

Thanks in advanced for your input!

Do it... can never go wrong with TE37

I have TE37RT 10.5 et21 squared and no issues.

That looks perfect...what tire size are you running all around?

They will fit fine, I run the same offset and tire up front with no issues and I am lowered a little bit. For the rear I would add a 5mm spacer and the car will sit perfect

Thanks for the feedback. I'm really liking the way both your cars look.

Looking forward to getting them on the car this weekend!

My new te37rt with 18 9.5 / et 22 and 18 10.5 et 20 265/35 285 35 pzero. Rubbed at front fender line.... rear most likely rub too, but not sure..

Damn I wish they had 27 rear ET and 28 or 31 front et (ppl can add spacers instead of having to machine it off)..

The front rubs quite bad.

I'm surprised you're rubbing. How low is your ride height?

[Razif]

stock edc zcp. otherwise I wont complain much.

A shop says the shock absorber mountings may be bad causing the ride height to go slightly lower. Any logic to this?

And this car have 4x shock mountings or 2x mountings?

A spacer will be required in my experience et34 is too conservative and hits the inner wheel liner. Plan to run at least 5mm and possibly a 10mm spacer. 10mm spacer will be tight as it could rub on the outside with a 295/35/18 and 11 et24

Apologies for late update. So i purchased the wheels and the tires as per the specs stated in the thread and am happy to report they fit perfect with no rub even at full lock. Keep in mind mine is an e90 and I hear the sedan has more clearance in the rear that the coupe.

It also filled the gap nicely which is great as I have no plans to lower the car. The rears have maybe a half inch gap and fronts has just a tiny bit more.

I added 10mm spacers on the rear but more for aesthetics, to have the rears stick out just slightly more than the fronts.

Super happy with the wheels and the tires. Grip and unsprung weight have been drastically improved over stock 19's.

Only thing i don't like is the hub rust

[Razif]

so you did 265 285 tires?

[jsports007]

295/35 and 275/35

[slowm3]

Any pics of the setup?

Why do you say this? Experience or you have run this size? I'm going to run a 10.5 et34 with a 305 and shouldn't be an issue.

Per my measurements with my zcp 10 et 25 with 285 I have 1" inside so there is a ton of room. I'm guessing you're just opining without personal knowledge.

Not the case. I have actual experience from actually owning and test fitting an 11" x 18 et34 wheel with a 295/30/18 tire. It made contact with inside of fender. I added a 12mm spacer in order to resolve the fitment. But, in this case I suggested a 10mm spacer because the question was regarding a 295/35/18 tire which would likely rub on the outside with anything more than a 10mm spacer. Again, based on actual experience with an 11" et25 wheel and a 295/35/18 tire. All of this is dependent upon alignment settings as things are very tight. I'm a little crazy and have had 3 e9x M3's and gone through numerous wheel and tire combinations (20+).

What would be the appropriate offset to run an 11" wheel with a 305 tire without rubbing? I was planning on going et33 but your post is making me have doubts.

Follow my measurements. You were .25 more in hence your contact. No wonder you got it wrong. Also with a 10.5 and et25 with 295 you only have .15" outside clearance. Your math is garbage. Op go in tire and wheel forum and search 305. It confirms my findings.

What are you talking about? The OP was asking about an 11" et34 wheel. You asked me why I made my statement about the OP's 11" wheels. I responded with my reasons. None of my posts had anything to do with your 10.5" wheels.

I would suggest et30 but it's going to be tight.

Noted, thanks. What offset would you recommend for 275/30 on a 19x9.5 front with OEM non-ZCP suspension and factory camber? I read in another thread you mentioned et22 would require a little extra camber so I was thinking et26...
