Wheel Offset question

I am about to buy some new wheels and want them to sit pretty flush with the car

What is a good offset. I can get the wheels in

19x8.5 in 20 or 35
19.9.5 in 20 or 35

I have a e92 sticking on stock suspension

A vendor will drop in here soon and sell you +35 all around for a worry free fitment. Youll end up making a thread on what size spacer you should go with in 2 months.

if you are wanting flush I go with the +20mm all the way around to avoid running spacers. Both set up will put you -1mm inside the fender and +11mm away from the strut. If you plan on lowering your car I would suggest tire sizes of 235/35 and 255/30.

stretchnpoke is the man when it comes down to it. I would say if you are not lowering it the tire sizes should be good. If you lower you will rub especially in the rear and would probably need an addition -.5 deg of camber so the tire clears the fender also. but that it ONLY IF YOU LOWER.

StetchNPoke...how close am I??

so i should be fine than at that point, correct? I wanted to lower it with some springs to get better handling but id rather not risk ride quality.

I really want something like the vorsteiner wheels they have on the M3 but those are expensive as balls.

i want something different, tired of the same old everyone has

If you do an Eibach or B&G spring you SHOULD retain factory ride quality. I had B&G and the first time I took my parents for a ride they didn't know I lowered the car. My mom said it rode better then my other lowered cars.

As for Vorsteiner...I was quote $7980 for the rims I wanted in 20s...oh yea with free shipping. for that much I want unlimited color changes, tires, tpms, mount/balance, 4 tires, 100 stickers...and model for one car show.

Your priorities are different from others. Some ppl want looks/comfort/functional traction/aggressive with n without rub/stock height flush aggressive? if theres such thing. Then you have those that just wants a balance of everything but will never have a taste of the extreme with the form vs function debate. You dont have any future plans with the look. You just want wheels just for the sake of how its going to transform the overall look with something "different". Browse and search this forum for the look you want. Its goona save you time and money at the end.

With just a quick search just look at the pickle these guys are in. Then ask your self....do i really need this in my life right now?

We all like different types of girls and wear fitted jeans/washed jeans differently. But nothing special about those black mesh. If you want something flush to start off then go with 9 +25 10 +25

i would say decide what look you want to go for....super luxury, or sporty...mesh, 5-6-7-8-9-10 spoke, full face....these are all the options plus some. Start there....then decide the max you want to spend on rims...then from there you should be good.

if you do 9(+12) that'll give you the same as the 10(+25). But there are lots of 9.5 out there.

What kind of budget do you have?

Also have to remember tires/mount/balance/install
