Wheel Fitment HELP!

Hey y’all

I’m about to purchase some Volk 21a in triple chrome for my f80. If i get eibach springs or h&r, will the offset stick out too much?

18x10.5 ET22 5x120 Squared

I know it also depends on tires but what yall think?

Nope. Lots of people run this same square setup on TEs including myself. You just need more camber and possibly 5mm spacer to clear the suspension.

I’m running 18x10.5 et 20 TE37SL, 285 square, and need a lot of camber front and rear. The rear is where you will see a lot of poke if you run less than -3ish degrees of camber

this is E9x M3 spec. you’ll be fine. just run smaller overall diameter tires up front and either 265 or 255 wide. i would go Michelin PSS. will be a bit of stretched look but you’ll clear. do not run 275 and up in the front. you’ll rub everywhere.

might need a spacer up front to clear your suspension. you should be fine to run up to 10mm spacer up front. will match the poke of the rears. the rears will poke a lot. if you’re into that look. if not, then hard pass.

it looks off when the front is tucked and the rear is poking. better to match or not do it at all.

285/35/18 Square PS4S. I forget the alignment settings but it’s like -3 in the front.

KWV3 with GC camber plates. SPL end links. 5mm front spacer.

Would rub in the front if i hit a big dip. Which I didn’t think was terrible by any means.
