BMW E46 Wheel Setup

[@konigvonpreuen8065]

My race setup is square 17x8.5 et40 wheels with 255/40-17 (200 treadwear) tires. Had no rubbing with factory camber adjustments set to max negative, front and rear. I now have front camber plates and tubular adjustable rear arms. Also did some minor fender rolling in the rear so the ride height can be pretty low without rubbing at all. I don't use crazy negative camber either. Maybe 3-4° at most if I remember right. Side note; sticky 255 tires up front aren't very nice for street driving, but I love them for racing. Makes the steering feel much heavier. Wheel alignment has to be perfect or you'll destroy the fronts quickly. I broke 2 power steering pump shafts and then upgraded to the newer "high pressure" pump and have been fine since. Also at full lock, the front tires can kiss the frame rail a little, so I wouldn't recommend drifting with 255's up front. Took me a while to figure out why I was spinning.

I think i talked to you on one of the fb groups about your calipers lol. I finally was able to install them thanks to your info.🙏🏻 I also just installed m3 side mirrors on my 330ci zhp. I suggest making a DiY on that for the sedans since there arent that many videos on it.

Hey Vance! I am glad that my video helped you out! Thanks for the video suggestion! I may do that

Brother i have a 04 325Ci Convertible, just got me some 18x8.5 +35 and 18x9.5 +35 i was thinking of running a squared 225/40/18 all around w/ a little stretch. Car is bone stock suspension and no rolled fenders. Whats your thoughts?

[@sniperking305]

What bigger breaks can I put on my 2002 E46 330XI ??

[@driver_18]

Nice video.. have you tried 265 tires on the rear with your 18x9.5 et35? Been thinking if it will fit my 330ci if I had 265 rear and 255 front..

[@hellodanielchoi]

Not yet

[@driver_18]

@hellodanielchoi would you have a suggested offset and wheel size to fit 265s? Thinking of 18x9 or 18x9.5 but still uncertain on offset for the rears

[@hellodanielchoi]

265s are really big, not sure if it will fit

[@driver_18]

@@hellodanielchoi I actually saw Style 37 wheels on a 330ci with 265s on them. Unfortunately I wasn't able to catch the owner.. but its doable! But, wish I knew the specifics on the wheels.

[@ismailbalushi8567]

Dear , Can you help me? I have the same car but there is a smell in the car coming from down the car. If I change the fuel filter or charcoal. smell will go?

[@FroyFranco]

Stock suspension?

[@hellodanielchoi]

ST coilovers

[@adrianalfonso1613]

What were your tire specs on the bmw wheels you previously owned?

[@bunnyforce9224]

18x9.5 et35? How? I test fit the same size wheels on my e46 and they poked out a good about passed the fenders and looked goofy yet yours are almost flush/slightly tucked? Am I missing something?

[@hellodanielchoi]

You have to have stretched tires and roll your fenders!

[@bunnyforce9224]

@@hellodanielchoi like pulling the fenders too? Because they stuck out like a good amount. Maybe almost and inch, maybe less but definitely would be a poke fitment. And I’m on stock sport suspension

[@andrewyork8513]

Do you think if I did a square 18x8.5 I could have a offset of +35 with stock equipment minus coilovers pretty much. Normal sized drilled slotted rotors. I am unsure what would look the best. (06 325ci

[@hellodanielchoi]

yes, it would fit

[@andrewyork8513]

@@hellodanielchoi thanks man! I’ve got the size down, just wasn’t sure on offset. Much appreciated.

do you think I can run 18x10.5 et 30 in the rear and 18x9.5 et 35 in the front? on a bmw 2001 325i.

[@hellodanielchoi]

You will have trouble fitting the rears. The fronts should be ok!

[@bustabunny9468]

why tho

[@jimjimenez1649]

is this the same fenders as a 2001 bmw 325i? im thinking of running the same wheel and tire specs

[@hellodanielchoi]

These are the same fenders. You will need to roll your fenders though.

heyy do you think 19x 8.5 square would fit on bmw e46 325ci with 255/35 tires?

[@hellodanielchoi]

no, you would need to roll, shave and perhaps have camber at the back for it to fit

[@oliver2k578]

The wheels actually ended up fitting. I guess a previous owner could have rolled the fender not really sure. also the car is m sport if that makes a difference
