Has anyone installed 9" wide wheels on the front of their E46 M3? If so, what size tire did you use, what offset did you go with and have you experienced any rubbing problems?

Thanks

We've done it before with some of the Breyton wheels in 19X9" 38mm offset and 245/35R19 tires.

I think most of the guys that are running HREs in 19" size are running 9" width in the front, mine were. no problems with 245/35 tire.

9" wheels on front? No problem....

are u sure?

will 9" wide in the front cause no problem on all shocks or coilovers?

i thought i saw some post a while back that says KW V2 are having problems with 9" wide in the front (some rubbing issues btw the tires and coilovers)???

:dunno: :dunno:

can anyone shed some light on this or if this had been an issue before?

Thanks

That's only with KW coilovers... they're known to take up alot of space under the fenders. Most people end up needing spacers even with stock wheels and tires. But if you don't have KWs, you can usually fit up to 9.5" width wheels on the front of the M3.
