so i have an 06 330i with sport and premium package, looking at m5 reps in 19 inch, 19x8.5 front and 19x9.5 rear, the issue im having is at **********s they only come in et 40 and et20, i wanna try and run the et20 in the rear with a 265/30r19 tire in the rear, can it be done with out fender rolling? might consider lowering the car more later on but i do like the sport package height, the other option is running the et40 offset in the rear with the 15mm spacers i already have on the car, any info is much appreciated

you cant run an et20 without a roll, aint going to happen without jacking up your new tires. I would get the et20, shave out the fenders and drop it on some eibachs.

thanks for the info, think i might just go with the et40 in the rears, and just run spacers, and def considering lowering it

[Gavin@MMW]

ET25 you will still need a roll, anything under et29 or 28 need a fender roll on e90

I have my fenders shaved, so there is no worry of rubbing, and you can run good offsets and tire sizes, im also dropped 2" all around, running et28 in the rear

[ah gon]

yup! i think u only can use 10mm spacer max.

20 offset is to much for rear without modifications,id say run 40 mm plus spacers...

ok cool thanks for the info, how is tire wear with a drop.

[Gavin@MMW]

tire wear will depend on what tiores you use, how you drive it, and where you are.

I have generals, they are great for a DD and canyon car, they last forever and handle great, the best tire for the money.

Ive had in the past:
-
Bridgestone RFT - the worst tire ever
Bridgestone non rft - Still bad, wears fast
Nitto Invo - Sticks great at high speeds, quiet on the road, wear fast.
Falkens 452 - Good tire, OK on the wear, round side walls
Hankook v12 - Wear fast, soft sidewalls, good in a straight line

I also just bought wheels and the rear offset is +40 (19x9.5). Im dropped on Tein S-tech which is in between H&R Race & Sport. Im deciding between 10mm and 12mm spacers, I dont want to touch my fenders.

I would go with the 10mm, and that might even rub a little depending on your tire choice.
