I'm having some 19"custom wheels done for the M3 and the guy is telling me the offset on the fronts will be 32 and 20 on the rear.

My question is with the fronts. My old LM's were 32 front without much of a lip, the wheels stuck out of the fenders, now with a wheel that has a bigger lip wont the 32 offset look funny or will I be OK?

If the wheels are the same width and offset they will fit the same regardless of style.

Depends on the width of your wheel too. Was your front LM 8.5 in width? If your going with a 19x9 in the front, a safe offset would be 37. Your 20 offset in the rear may cause u some rubbing problems.

Yes, my LM was 19X8.5 I will go with the same size for the new wheel.

On the rear it would be the same as a set off BBS CH 19X10 with a 20mm offset. I guess I need to find out from people with those wheels and lowered with H&R spring if they are rubbing or not.

They most likely are. Prepare to get your fenders rolled.

Spoke with the company today... They are going to make the rear wheels 22mm offset just to make sure it wont rub.
