M3 Wheels, Advice please.

[Pug 1]

Folks , planning to use some wider rims on my 1989 M3. I currently run on 15" x 7J ,ET30 Offset.

I propose to fit 16" x 8J ET20 on the front and 16" x 9J ET24 on the rear.

Any fundamental problems with the plan?.

Thanks in advance.

What size tyres are you planning on using?

[Pug 1]

Bridgestone 225's.

Thanks.

You're going to have some tyre stretching going on to mount a 225 on a 9j rim, which will not help the ride/handling, but it'll work with std suspension. If your lowered you may have some rub issues on compression.

Fyi, minimum tyre size for a 9j rim is 235, recommended 245/255, max is 265.
