Perfect ET for M2

So, what do you think is the perfect et for 9,5 wide front and 10,5 wide rear?
Thanks

All depends what look you are after or whether you have an alternate objective like stuffing more tire into the wheel wells. Lots of factors to consider including tire size, wheel size, suspension, and objective. If on stock suspension and tire size with 0 rub I would shoot for approximately 5 mm off of stock which would bring you to 24 front and 35 rear. You could probably go more aggressive (lower offsets) but these would be a safe starting point. Wider tires and suspension mods will definitely affect where you take it from these starting points.

Thanks for the reply.
I have h&r springs but I have 2 options for aftermarket wheels. Both are with factory tires
1: 9x19 et 24 front and 10x19 et 40 rear
2: 9,5x19 et 22 front and 10,5x19 et 34 rear
Maybe if I go with a kw o mperf suspension the second option would be better but very agressive?

Option 2 will have quite a bit of stretch on stock tires. Then if you try and put on a wider tire in the future you could run into a rubbing issue. Of the two options I would go for option 1 since you have more flexibility for the future after you wear out the original tires. Again, depends on what you are trying to accomplish.
