Guys I'm looking to change the wheels on my 320cd m sport,
It has the mv2 style wheels I believe are et47 front and et50 rear.

I'm looking at csl rep wheels, 8j x18 front and 9j x18 rears so I can keep and use my newly fitted tyres that are on my mv2s

225 40 18
255 35 18


Now my question is what offset is ideal? I want them to sit out and fill the arch which the mv2s don't but don't want them to rub. The eBay csl reps are et40

It's going on coil overs aswell.

Any ideas? I know it's a long shot asking on here lol

 

Hope this helps mate...

Helps a little mate, the guy on eBay reckons et 40 is spot on for what I want

 

my e46 330 diesel sport is on 225 40 18's at the front and 245 35 18's at the rear - these are the origional bmw ones - if you tell me what to lookfor or measure I will get back to you! as stu did a good job in fiesta RS!

 

my dads is lowered 25mm on staggered 19" csl reps, has 235/30 19 front, 265/35 19 rear, no rubbing even when five up, hope this helps
