Hey guys, my first post and just want to say what's up.
I want to get some feedback on a setup I'm thinking about running. My car is an E46 coupe, lowered on BavAuto Springs. I have a set of older RacingHart C5 Evo's I bought 5-6 years ago for my old Honda that have recently come back into my possession. In order to run them I'll have to get hub adapters, which doesn't really bother me too much. I've also thought about just selling them, but haven't had any luck.
So here's the specs, rims are 18x7.5 / et42 / 5x114.3 and something else. Adapters are 15mm, so that'll change the offset to et27 when they're on the car. Then I'd run a 215/40/18 tire which should have no problems clearing my unrolled fenders. I know it's nothing extreme, but the extra space from the adapters should make it nice and flush like I want in the front, with just a little tuck in the rear.
Here's a photoshop of how it should look from the side

I photoshopped the wheels over my stock style 44's, which are et47, so the Racingharts would stick out an additional 20mm. It's not as extreme as if I were to run Style 5's or something like that, but it should be clean. Every time I try to photoshop them on at an angle it doesn't look right b/c of the high offset of my stock wheels, they sit too far in the fenders. What do ya'll think, sound like a decent plan?
