if i was ordering 19" x 8.5 wheels and they come in two different offsets, 30mm and 43mm, which offset should order them in? These are going on an '05x sedan.

also what size spacers would make these flush?

I wanna put wheels on first then put on ISC coilovers and see how low i could go without rubbing or having to do any other work. Then...do the work to go moar low!!
Want my car stanced for the summer!!

my current tires are kumho which are not that grippy and loud. I will be changing them soon. Should i stick to OEM size or change it? Mine is part of premium package so its 18" wheels and P235/45R W tires.

Which tires do you recommend for day to day use? I need grip, low tire noise as primary requirement. All season or summer doesn't matter. Where is stay, there is no snow.

I found a some for stock size. Any opinions on those

1. Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus
2. Michelin Primary MXM4
3. Michelin Primary Alpin
4. Pirelli PZero Nero.

Any advise would be helpful. thank you

Well if you want it "stanced" you're looking at the wrong wheels.

You need something wider if you mean what I think you do.

I'd go +30 with those and then lower and see how much camber it pulls and add spacers from there.

Well you're not running the OEM tire sizes so that's an issue. OEM sizes are 225/45 and 245/40

P zero neros are nice but crazy money.

If you're not worried about cold weather look into the Nitto NT05 and the Bridgestone RE11.

Other than that, any of the Michelin Pilot sports are amazing tires.

@4DGS

okay, so my options for wheels are imense as i like multiple styles, but i've heard countless times, just save for what you really want.

that being said, and i had a hard time convincing myself to spend this much, but could i fit Yoko Advan's RS 19x9 front and 19x9 rear on my '05x sedan stock height etc.

i know i'm going to want a lower offset than my stock 17x7's +45. and the advan RS 19x9 is offered in 38 29 or 22 for our 114.3. and is there any reliable place to order these from, i found them on vividracing but i've heard bad things about them.

Yea you shouldn't have a problem running those. the +29 offset is your best bet with rolled rear fenders.

Vivid isn't too bad, but I believe Ravspec is also an Advan dealer and can probably get you the best price!

Hope you guys can help me out. I have an 06 m45 and I'm planning to get these wheels. Only problem is the guy who is selling them is in a different state and isn't sure what the offset is. Just wanted to see if the wheels would fit.

Asanti Af120 originally was on a Bentley (5x112)
Redrill by local wheel company to 5x114, center bore is 66.2
Brand new Falken Fk452 mounted and balance 245/30/22 and 265/30/22
Front width 9.5 inch, lip ~2inch
Rear width 10.5 inch, lip ~3inch
Offset is unknown

Are you wanting to poke with this set up?

If you want to run full size tires you're going to need a hint of camber or some decent fender work.

Let me know.

Bentleys usually run pretty low offsets but with those lips you may be ok.

Tell him to research how to calculate offset and do the math, quick google search can give you the equation.

BUT, 22s on the M do not look good man, the M, despite it's big car appearance has small fender arches similar to the G35. You would be much better off going with 20s.
