Looking at getting some rims soonish,in a month or 2 maybe,would so something like an 18x10 et20 fit under stock arches?

or would a 18x8.5et30 be better?

looking at getting these,but i want the dish like the rear rims on the GS,bearing in mind i'm also getting coilovers soon aswell?
And also,they'll be in the right PCD not BMW fitment

It will require some fender modding but it will fit.

Emil

how much modding,just getting them rolled abit?
once i'm on coilovers i want the car low,like how your GS is,would they fit ok with the offset after rolling?

Rolled or shaved, and stretched tires. Something like 245/40/18 would fit nicely. Are they 18x10 all around?

Emil

yep thats right 18x10 all around

the front probably will need a bunch of work to get them to fit, and will "poke" much more than the rears. The rears will fit under the fender with a shave. I would think twice about the fronts @ 18x10

18x10 +20 in the front is pretty aggressive. You would need a spacer in the rear because the front would stick out a lot more. This might cause problems.

Emil

hhmm thats pretty much what i thought about that to,i just don't want different looking rims,one that looks "deep",and the other flat

i'm guessing ET30 would be much better? or ET25?

dude just stagger them, you're not driving a GT-R!

if you insist on trying to be the same front to rear you will end up compromising one way or another- either scraping or being very aggressive up front and not so aggressive up back, OR normal up front and almost sunken up back.

i would stagger and go somewhere around a 9" et20 up front and 10" et20 up back. But it does depend on how much camber and tyre stretch you want to run too. As for rolling the guards you'll see they dont roll easily at all and generally damage your panelwork. i have had my guards all round rolled, about 3/4 flat up front (no damage but paint flaking off underneath which i touched up) and rears about 1/2 flat, and this cause slight dimpling in both places where the holes from the trims are. Its slight, but i couldnt have rolled any further without obvious damage. I have 19x10 +23 w 245/35 and -2 camber. So if you are willing to roll more, or even better cut off that metal lip altogether, and/or run more camber, you can drop the offsets even further if you want.

fronts.. will not fit unless you insist on adding flares or running alot of neg camber.
btw.. rotas? cmon man

4play4dr

hes right..our cars dont deserve rotas..cant believe that BMW M3 is rockin rotas..

fronts will be an issue if you're planning on slamming it... the rear's should be ok, if anything you may need to roll em'.... Definitely stagger the ride.... there's no reason to run 10" in the front unless you like feeling every crack in the road. et20 looks good tho!

Not even cutting your fenders will allow you to fit those wheels unless your running custom arms or are prepared to do body work. Our front fenders are steele, so unless your ok with warping your fenders trying to make them fit or putting a small lift kit on, I would suggest running staggered like everyone has said.


And if this hasn't been said enough... PLEASE DO NOT PUT ROTAS ON YOUR LEXUS!

Emil

funny you should say the comment on the GTR,as i'll be back in one soon

and i know the ROTA's are not "right" for a lexus,but i've not seen anything else yet that i either like,or doesn't cost the best part of £2k,i'm still a full time student!

i know what everyone has said about the size and offset up front,i'd rather have quality and would prob so staggered to be honest then

You can find some nice used Volk TE37's in the same size instead of buying Rotas. I can't believe that M3 has Rotas on it. Makes me feel like my GS doesn't deserve its wheels.
