My apologies for a potentially dumb question as I still do not fully get how to calculate if an offset will fit.

Will these offsets work on the F30? They are e46 M3 CSL wheels

8x19 ET:47 Front,

9.5x19 ET:27

Everyone will tell you no. But if your on stock suspension or less agressive. The rears will work with 255 tires. 10mm spacers in front to bring it out. Would look good

^^^^^^^^^ what he said. They won't just bolt on but with work and spacers they might

I would say the rears would look stupid. On stock height they will be 10-15mm outside the fender.

Exactly.

Technically they will fit, but will be ~10mm too far out in the rear.

Thanks all, so staggered 193s (i'm not sure the offsets but I know they are the same as the 189s, 162s, etc from the e9x), will be about 10mm (or would it be a half inch?) more tucked in at the back but the same in the front (i.e. need 10mm spacers)?

E9x has different offsets compared to the E46. I don't know what you compared them too with your example?

The 193's will be about the same as stock F3x wheels up front and a bit more (10mm) aggressive in the rear compared to stock.

Thanks for the info! So that might be a pretty solid look as I personally think the rears need spacers more than the fronts.

As to the comparison, I was asking about those M3 CSLs compared to the 193s, so:

19x8 et 47 front; 19x9.5 et 27 rear

versus

18x8, et 34 front, 18x8.5, et 37 rear

Sounds like those M3 CSLs are just too far off, they are really cheap from tischer and I just thought there might be a chance they'd work.

Ah! I suggest you use an offset calculator to test different wheels.

I have 19x9.5 ET35 on the rear and it is pushing the limits of acceptable (mostly because they are CSL reps, so the rim itself comes out further than the fender, the tire itself is inside the fender). I would definitely not go any further out.
