will these fit?

[bacon]

im thinking about buying the enkei rs6's for my 3 but im not really sure if they'll fit they're 18x7; offset 38; bolt pattern 5x100/114.3; and the bore diameter is 72.62 so will these fit on my car? im kinda sure they will but im not really that sure bout it.

I think the offset is too low.

 

[goldwing2000]

Offset is definitely too low. With that wide of a wheel, you'll be rubbing and scraping like crazy.

i have an 04 m3 hatch, i have 18x8 evo style hyper silver offset 35 made by hp racing, they told me the widest you can go with no probs. is 18x7.5 offset 35 with no rubbing, i got mine at ASAA racing on longpoint in houston they can get you any part made for the 3's & install ...

 

[JOS3]

+35 may possibly work, but its not worth it because you will problably rub if you have people in the car or take hard turns.

befor i bought mine i checked with all the different wheel web sites & wheel shops around here. i have two 12" RF p3 subs in a box, an amp, capacitor on a rack i made and still have my spare under there i still don't rub. the 35 offset should not rub unless you plane on loading down your car...

 

[bacon]

so an offset of 35 is the widest i can go without any probs? so where is ASAA racing

 

[JOS3]

i guess if you dont plan on lowering it, its ok

 

[bacon]

wat if i plan on lowering it bout 1.5 inches

 

[tsunami]

the lower you go the more offset you will need... i would say 45 or more would be best...

 

[JOS3]

put it this way, i have 17X7's with a +42 offset and i could only have 2 people in the back seat. i tried 3 people once and the rear fenders were 1/4" from the tires.

 

[Mr. Win]

Depends what tire you put on it... if you have sqaure kuhmo prolly have a slight rub at 42 but if you run with like a yoko prada with a rounded i think you could run a 7inch rim a 40 and maybe in 38 offset.

Whoever said you can run 35 prolly rolled your rear fenders.

 

[bacon]

so if i plan on lowering the car bout 1.5 inches i should get offset of 45 or more?

 

[Mr. Win]

7inch wheel 42 or higher 7.5inch 45 or higher

if you push the rear fenders you can prolly go 38-40

 

[silla3]

i have 18x8 35 offset by hp racing w/nitto neogen tires don't rub did not roll fenders have not lowered yet but every shop i've been to said no probs. at 1.5 drop. might not drop, looks good like it is...

 

[Mr. Win]

Post pix ill believe it when i see it. That makes no sense at all.

 

[bacon]

yeah id like to see some pics too

 

[JOS3]

Post pix ill believe it when i see it. That makes no sense at all.

(screwy) i agree


make sure the people that are telling you it will fit are familiar with the car and arent just like, "yeah, it should fit" when it wont

 

[bacon]

alrite guys i think i've figured it out i think ill go with an offset of 45 if i buy the eibach prokit what do yall think?

 

[goldwing2000]

That's what I'm planning to do. Should work fine.
