20x8.5 front and 20x10 rear, 35-40mm offset is ok, you could go lower offset but will need to roll and possibly pull the fenders a bit

[excluesiveonez]

rolling is fine, but i dont want to go so aggresive that i need massive reconstructive surgery ha

on a 10 inch wide... would i need to stretch thetireor would like a 265 or 275 or 285/30 tire fit

can i go 9 inch wide in the front with just a roll?

[auditech10]

You shouldnt need a roll with a 9in but I dont know for sure. Most that use 10in rear use 275/30 because that is as close to the original tire height, making the speedometer the same, or pretty close

[excluesiveonez]

sounds good to me...

audi can you do me a solid? i know i just got here and all but...

If you could please just go from up under the car and snap a few pics [of the suspension] that will at least get us started. -message from universal air

whats ur choice of wheels for the m45....

im looking at some sevas or dpe... i know its not the VIP style but what the hell... its my style or my vision of what it should look like

[excluesiveonez]

well actually if i could get a deal on ame shallen ax or lx i would be straight cuz i love em but besides that ill pass

[auditech10]

What is your email? I snapped some pics for you, they arent the greatest but its all i got. I really like the Shallen CXs and the dish type like the Weds and Work Eurolines, BUT im more into the split multispoke like the AutoCouture Latives which is what I might just get this summer.

[auditech10]

You might want to check out vipstylecars.com if your into vip styling at all. Ive been on there for a while and its a pretty good forum.

I did a write up on FA forum and will copy and paste it here...

I just placed my order for my Work VS-XX in burning black. Rear I'm running 20x10 +44 offset Front is 20x8.5 +38 offset. Below you can see a pic of the rims on an Lexus GS300. My M will look similar to the GS. I will be riding on JIC magic coilovers. oh and do you think the Burning black wheels will go with my Unbria grey M?

I think the wheel fitments are different from a 2003-04 M45 and the 2006+ M35/45s

I added the MY to the thread title.

[excluesiveonez]

great thanks.... i tried to change it but the edit didnt work i guess..

damn cant wait to get out of my g35x and get into the m45!

[caug]

i got 275 35 18 on 18x9.5 with 45 mm offset in the rear i could have use 275 40 18 too no problem. if car will be not lowered, you can use max 40 mm in the rear and 10'' wide. front you can got easy 245 45 18 with off set 30 mm with 18x9 max .i have 18 x 8 in front with 35mm with 245 40 18 and thinking to get spacers 15mm for the front.

good luck

[auditech10]

when i decide on my rims i might do it right the first time and get 8.5 or 9s in front with 20-25 offset, of course that will need just a little bit of work, but when bagged she will sit so dam nice

[jmendoza7]

If you go on the link below, you will see a M lowered and on some 19 or 20's

[caug]

wheels could stick out then. may be 8.5 wide with 25 off set .

The white M is also found on the Mode Parfume website(blow design)http://www.blowdesign.co.jp/topics/topics.cgi

[excluesiveonez]

so with a decent drop...... a 20x10 with 275 rubber and a 35-40mm offset will sit flush?

in the front.... 20x8.5 with 245 rubber and 30-35 offset will sit flush?

[mrmark]

I'm running 20x8.5 with 245-35-20 and 20x10.5 275-30-20 AME LX's.

They are for sale too.....

well actually if i could get a deal on ame shallen ax or lx i would be straight cuz i love em but besides that ill pass

[auditech10]

oh yeah i forgot to mention your rims were for sale. i figured you would post anywaycheers

[excluesiveonez]

argh beautiful wheels.. to bad i dont have the car yet... whats on tap next?

also how much work did u have to do to get the 10.5's to fit in the back?

should i go for 265's on a 10 inch wide?

whats your offsets?

[CakeDaddy]

Im on 245/35-20x8.5 front with 34mm offset, and 265/30-20x9.5 rear with 40mm offset lowered on eibachs with no scrub. FOOSE SPEEDSTAR

front rear

[excluesiveonez]

i like it alot man...

[excluesiveonez]

did you have to roll fenders?...

i think i'd be willing to put them out 5-10mm more if i can roll the fenders to make them fit

[CakeDaddy]

no roll. but, what do you mean 5-10mm out? for example: if I had a 39mm instead of 34 in the front and a 45mm instead of 40mm in the rear?

So, that would tuck in more and provide more clearance. Is that what you are talking about. I think the higher the offset the more the rim will tuck, is that correct.

[excluesiveonez]

put them [wider] out as in lower offset
