i have a set of BMW 18'' summer sports tire/rims (my dads rim from his 335i)

im planning to try out what it feels like to have a staggered set up

i dont really want wide tires in the front because im afraid of hit bumps while im turning... cause there mite be rubbing against the fenders

any suggestions what set up should i do? whats the pros and cons for different set ups?

yea BMW's lug pattern for the 335i is 5x120. The lug pattern of the A/C is 5x114.3. You cannot put the BMW rims on your car...

but wouldn't these throw the offset off on the wheels? They look to be more than 25MM

most likely wouldn't do anything. As long as you stay around +40 offset and 8.5 inches up front. Staggered on the fwd tho

Ahh haaa...Do you see what I mean Blake! Those things are freaking huge! Unless Stillen comes out with CF fender flares for that "wide body" look, I wouldn't think of putting these on my coupe! Put those bad boys on and you might as well rig your coupe to bounce!!!!

There are some wheels out there that you get that are 8.5" or so with a different lip size! You might wanna try that for an option too
