[xxstevexx]

chaps any one know if 10x18et30 will fit the back of a coupe???

They'll rub. Offset too aggressive and too wide. 10" wide rims you are looking at 40mm offset.

how aggressive?? talking to lee at gaydon he says his are offset 27

I agree, ET30 with a 10 on the rear will rub like hell on a non-m car...

I'm running 9.5 on the back, ET40 and there's still slight rubbing...

ET27? That's aggressive. But his if I'm not mistaken his is 19X9 but his narrow sidewalled Falken FK-451 are well stretched.

what would be the widest i could fit and the lowest offset??
and ill roll the arches too i want if i can to get the rim flush with the arch

E46 coupe I would say 18x9.0 ET37 on stock sport suspension and most aftermarket springs except Apex (they are the least progressive and compress more, hence the tyre will hit the arch higher up). If you run coilovers, you can go wider with a more aggressive offset as the springs hardly compress and there's minimal suspension travel. Hence, the tyre doesn't touch the arch. At the end of the day it's all trial and error. The above statements are based on personal experience on an E46 330ci.

I disagree, my Senekas are 10" wide on the rear with a 34mm offset. I can also run 5mm spacers on top of those with only very minimal rubbing which would bring the offset to et29. I havent drivin far on the spacers but id say they would need arches rolling to avoid all rubbing. Ive test fit a Type 3 M3 fitment rear wheel to my car with a falken 451 tyre and it wasnt rubbing much. But its most definately in the tyre choice, as a set off BBS rimet32 didnt fit at all just jammed on the arch.

There you go, I would say the best way forward, test fit them with the tyre of your choice to be 100%.
