Default E46: et20 rear - non M model.

Hi, i've seen some alloys i want but they are the following spec: (will be going on a 320cd se & soon to be lowered on coilovers)

18x8.5 et40 front and 18x9.5 et20 rear

I don't mind putting stretched tyres on, (I am a previous vw/dub owner)

What tyre size would i go for to make this work?
215/40 fronts?
225/35 rears?
or 215 all round?

But i would like to know much et20 would stick out? anyone made this spec work on a none M model? Pics would be great if anyone has.

Thanks

well on an e46 you can just go with 225-40-18 in the rear it will give you a pretty good look. I ran a 225-40-18 17et 18x9 for my rear with my old setup.

I'm running 17x8.5 et 19 in the front with a 205/40.

It's pretty much flush. I like it but i'd like a little more poke.

best pics i have as of now (I am now lower) lol
