What do you guys think of these wheels - Enkei Kojins

[RobC2]

Aside from the oddity of having a Japanese wheel on a German car, they look pretty good to me. I really like the five spoke designs. They also take BMW center caps and have to be lighter than my OEM 293 style wheels.

Sizes are:
18 x 8.5 with 35mm offset front
18 x 9.5 with 45mm offset rear

For tires, I was thinking Michelin PSSs in stock sizes.

Nice looking wheel, the offsets are a little conservative, they will work, just that the wheels will be sitting further in the arches than the standard setup.

Hmm. They are a half inch wider in front and an inch wider in the rear than my factory wheels. When I plugged them into the wheel calculator, I got the same outer in front and the tiniest bump out in the rear. Maybe I have the wrong factory offsets for my wheels. I definitely don't want them riding any more inboard than they are now.

offsets too high.

I think you can get the rears with 35mm offset. Looking into that now as well as other wheel options. I think the fronts are okay, right?

Rears you can go ET25(235/35/19) in the front and ET20 (265/30/19) in the rear without rolling your fenders.

Thanks for the info. Just looking to get some new wheels that look better than what is on there and fit right. Not looking to push any fitment boundaries!

I mean with this setup, part of the fender liner will be rubbing, however no fender modification needed. If you want to go for a slightly more conservative setup but still look pretty flush Here are your options. You can later add in the spacers to push your boundaries a bit =] I have listed them for you below. Hope this helps.

Front:19x8.5 ET35 235/35/19 +10mm Spacer
Rear: 19x9.5 ET25 265/30/19 + 5mm Spacer

Great, thanks again. Based on this information and some of my own research, I have decided to go in a different direction. If it all works out, I will post some pictures of the new setup next week. :-)
