having seen the pictures from South Mimms, it's spured me on to change my rims , i'm sure this has been covered to death previously but i'm bad news on the search.

Iv'e got a facelift 03 330ci , I don't wnat to go to 19" as I like the ride with 18", I don't like going to manufactures or retailers without all the details so can anyone tell me what is the largest off-set you can have front and rear without rolling the arches , also what tyre size combination can you got too front & rear.

Cheers

I'm with you on the 18's, better ride and quicker pull off!
Had 19's on, but went back to 18's.
Not sure on the rest, best looking 18's on a 330 have got to be AC Schnitzer type 3, but I'm biased!

If you stick to an 8.5" width rim, you can stagger the tyres, 235/40 fronts and 255/35 rears.

Most aggressive ofset you can hit without arch rolling with a slight drop is ET35.

Certain tyres like the Falken FK-451 gives alot of clearance but Yokohama AVS Sport/P-Zero/GSD3-F1 all have very bulky sidewall.
