You have to take into considderation your ride height. the lower you go, the better off you will be with stock or close to stock specs. I am lowered about 2 inches and am running 17x7.5 + 48 with 225/45 in the front, and the rear is 17x8.5 + 54 with 255/40's. I get a little rubbing on the rears when I hit some of those dips on the H-1 @ 60mph going west, nothing too bad. When I go to replace my front tires I am going to slim down to 215's, with the 225's on, I had to raise the front of my car about .5 inch because my tire caught the fender when pulling into the drive.

Thanks for all the advice. Do you recomend keeping staggered? I'm dropped on h&r springs for now. Planning on going koni yellows and maybe swift springs so I believe the drop won't be too bad. Those advans are dope. Know anyone selling rims?

given the 50/50 balance the non staggered setup eliminates understeer and improves cornering...as for wheels offset is something that is affected by width and design of wheels. so with each different wheel choice you have to take different offsets into account. anything much lower than a 50mm offset on the front is where you may run into trouble, with the rear you can play with it more(in my opinion) because you won't have to deal with turning the wheels. my spoons are +35 +45 front and rear respectively and i have had to roll and relocate my rear bumper tabs, and i don't even wanna go into the issues with the front...i am fairly low though...come out to the meet and we all will be able to see your car and help you out more

um i got a quoted from some guys in cali that bring in rota wheels and ksport but can pretty much get any wheel you want.

try ask samson if he can bring em in cause i know he can bring in advan and normally he sells stuff for good pricing, but that price of $1750 shipped to hawaii was not from samson. =)

how come that gtr face doesn't look as good as my friends E90. she has advan rs with gtr face but it doesn't lookas hot as the rz?
haha thats because it's a bmw! all bout the offsets haha..

i can ask samson, maybe we can get a "wheel deal" as he would put it....

to the orig poster..come out tonight if yer not working..
