Ideal E36 M3 rim and tyre sizes?

**shimmy** · 01-05-2014, 09:50 PM

I'm sure I'm not reinventing the wheel here but want to know what is the ideal E36 M3 square set up for race/track use.

I'm guessing 17x9 might be achievable but no idea on ideal offset with standard bodywork.

Tyres not quite so sure but maybe 255/40/17?

Looking to get new spare rims with tyres M3 size.

17 x 9 et20 with a bit of modification, or et30 and no mods, 235 is the Kumho size

Et42 17x9 with 255 cups, slight rubbing inside rear. I'll pm Daniel on nl for info.

Demontweeks do 17x9 et40 5/120 are about £590 + vat

They would probably work, I've pm'd Daniel for info on spacers etc.

Smac or Matt might get a good discount.
