    Like the jdm flair though
    The low offset is killing it for me haha. Thanks

    Thank you for providing the link, could the wheel be centered with adjustable castor/camber plates other than swapping out the lcab?

    Those are real nice wheels- next wheels on my list right before bbs rs'
    but the pics are deceiving. Those offsets won't give you the best fitment and with the stock e36 body you end up compromising the stance and tire options.

    I'd be running at least 275s with those wheels but the priority would be bodywork first.

    I'd wager with full body shots we'll see how a bit off this wheel/tire combo is.

    That's just my bet, don't take offense, if you can dial in a good looking stance without major body work I'd love to see it.

    The wheels are pretty cheap too- IIRC a brand new set can be had for under $2500.

    front and rear are both sitting a bit higher than I'd like it to right now. After I get an alignment tomorrow I'll be able to tell how much more I can lower the car. As you can see though the rear is pretty neutral so I'll definitely be able to dial in some more camber. Up front I have no issues other than due to the caster, 96+ lcab's should fix that problem and the front can go lower then too.

    It would definitely be a better fitment with a higher offset, no doubt. I still think I'll be able to achieve a proper stance with a good alignment and I'm pretty sure the fender lips can be rolled out a bit more. I'll probably be able to lower it 1/3rd to 1/2 of an inch all around. Ideal stance IMO, not too low, not 4x4 either.

    Much cheaper. Around $1300 a set. I'd love to trade these for a set of 9.5 arc8's in 35 offset. That would be spot on.

    I'm interested to see how you plan on lowering the rear. I'm on 18x10 et 25 with 235/40s all around. Front is no problem with a roll and -3.5 degrees. However, I had to go to town on my rear fenders(roller, grinder and a BFH) to make it somewhat fit. It still rubs slightly under full compression at the top of the fender. That's with -2.9 degrees of camber too. Post up a shot from the rear to see how much it pokes.

    Picture for reference:

    Yeah I'm definitely going to be having a bit of an issue with the rear. It will probably be sitting higher than I'd like it to. I'll end up going to something with a higher offset once I'm over this set lol

    Forgot that it was Christmas eve and that all shops closed early today. Still waiting on an alignment.

    Your car looks amazing btw.

    It will be going lower, just need to make some adjustments.

    Love the wheel choice for your car Syed! Can't wait for a bit more camber all around and a bit more low, it will be perfect!!!

    Gotta see this beauty in person!

    The wheels are great but 10'' wide is pointless with a 255. I say sell them to someone with a e46 or put on big boy pants and do metal work and fit some 275's or if you are happy with running 255's, get the correct offset wheel.

    Nice set of wheels Syed, loving them from a functional aspect. Super light, wide, and strong, not much to dislike.

    AJ, are yours 255 square or 265 square. I just had Nitto 555s 265/35/18 mounted on my 18x10 et 32 rears and I need to go back and do some extra fender work, it's rubbing more than than the prior pair of Hankook V12 Evos.

    Meh, you can't knock the man for a nice pickup, like that set of wheels. The offset leaves something to be desired, but there isn't many size options for those rims in 5x120 without having to redrill. It's not like the tires aren't wide either.
