Wheel & Offset Question

[nishboo]

Will this offset work without rubbing.. Can I go larger on the tires, or am I maxed out??

Lugs: 5x120 Bolt
21x9 255/30/21 +30 (front)
21x10.5 295/25/21 +30 (rear)

Thanks in advance.

No prob with going 265 up front and 305 out back. I've seen more aggressive set ups without rubbing.

Whats the largest tire I can use in the rear?
295/35/21?
305/30/21?

Awesome. Any thoughts on if I will need spacers?

You won't need spacers but you could go with 10 upfront and 5 in rear if you want an extra aggressive look

I think I may have to do spacers... Test fitting today, and this is what it looks like... Think 5MM will do it, or should I just go for 10MM?

Thinking of doing 265/35/21 up front, and 295/35/21 on the rear... too big?

Looks like 5-mm should do it, but since your offset is +30, I'd just do 10-mm to be on the safe side.

You need a 30 series up front and 25 series out back, so those sizes are too big (too tall).

Okay cool. Thanks for the help. The 295/25 looks too small, like a rubber band.. You sure I can't fit 295/35/21 without rubbing?

295/35/21 is way too tall for our M's. I'm gonna say it'll most likely rub. But that won't be your concern...

Your bigger concerns would be the decreased performance (due to a larger diameter wheel set-up and increased weight) and misreading of the speedometer.

I highly suggest 265/30/21 and 305/25/21 or your rolling diameter will be out of whack with taller tires. One issue going with 21's is the lack of rubber as you stated. Some love the look other don't. I stayed with 20's on my HRE's.

Looks great. What tire size and spacers did you end up going with?
