RI-A 18x10 +25 in the front. On stock ZCP suspension here

What size in the back? And what tyre size for both? Looks sick. I like it

I searched this forum for a while and didn't see anyone running 18x10.5 SQ E88s.. so I ordered a set..

10.5+18 all around

Lovely

Back with another set of RI-As, this time square.

Finally fitted proper sized tires (265/285 ps4s on 9.5/10.5" e88)

Now, I need to get the ohlins installed and lower the rear end a touch.

What wheels are these?

E05

Silly question but are these 18” or 19”? I used to have 18” E05 but they looked smaller than this. Thanks!

Nice, thanks! I thought the lip looked a little larger. Looks awesome!

My beater on RI-As

hey everyone, I just picked up an e92 that came with a F80 brake retrofit on front and rear. Does anyone here know if 18" RI-A's will clear those brakes?

Yep!

Love this photo thread! FYI to all: I'm going to be pulling my Custom-Finished BBS RG-Rs out of storage and listing for sale by the end of the month. It was a very aggressive setup for our E90 LCI 335d, but I'm pretty the specs are on-point for the M3 crowd...
Front: 19x8.5 ET32 BBS RG-R custom finished in Midnight Blue / Mag Blue
Rear: 19x10 ET25 BBS RG-R custom finished in Midnight Blue / Mag Blue
Custom Finished in Volk Racing Mag Blue as seen here (SORRY IT'S NOT AN M3!): NEW PICS ADDED: custom front bumper (molded CF lip & deleted reflectors), Post 999 [#3]

If you google "midnight blue BBS RG-R" they are just about the only ones around

The front 8.5 +35 wheel is not a very good fit for an e9x M3 and is much better suited for a non-M e9x car. That offset isn't aggressive enough, and the wheel width isnt an upgrade for wider tires if performance mattered. You would need a 5mm to 7.5mm spacer just to get it to fit like a stock front m3 wheel, and most people run 15mm to 20mm spacers up front on the stock wheels to get them to fit better. For a flush fitment with an 8.5" +35 wheel, you would need to run a 35 mm spacer which, IMO, is too much for a street car. Otherwise, the wheel will look very pushed into the wheel well.

The rear 10" +25 will fit better. For a flush fitment, on an e9x m3, you would want to run a 10mm or 12mm spacer and a 275/35 tire.

Thanks, Mineral! I know some folks like to go for super-flush, but (and I could be wrong here)...
Aren't the standard e90M3 Wheels...

• Front: 19x8,5J x 19" ET29
• Rear: 19x9,5J x 19" ET23

...And the competition wheels...

• Front: 19x9" ET31
• Rear: 19x10" ET25

...so with a 7mm spacer in the front I think these RGR's would sit identically (from a "flushness" standpoint) to the OEM competition wheels. From a width standpoint they'd offer similar-to-better sidewall support vs the standard OEMs, but...RGRs!

I get your points, though. Regardless: Don't want to thread jack, so MOAR awesome M3 BBS Photos Please!

EDIT: Correction, I was rusty on the wheel specs of my wheels. The Fronts are ET32, not ET35. Numbers corrected above.

18x10.5 ET22 RI-A on 275/35/18 Conti ECF, no spacers; -3 F camber -2 R camber; no rubbing that I've encountered so far

edit: jk rip my front fender liners, hope they'll self clear
