What rim measurements do I have to look for with this drop?

[98TechnoM3]

I am lowering my 98 m3 with HnR Race Springs and plan on putting rims on it. But, I am very educated on the offsets and backspacings and all that. So, with those springs 2.2" drop in the front 1.3" in the rear.

I am also rolling the fenders to allow for a little bit more space. So what do I look for? I would prefer a 18" rim maybe even a 19" if at all possible.

19's dont look good on E36's IMO.

I have always run 18X9 rear but i believe you can go 9.5 or wider but I dont see the point as the widest tire I have seen on stock bodywork is a 265/35 and it rubbed a bunch even with rolled fenders.

what size offset? like mid 30s to 40 right?

I'm running 18x9's with a 45 offset in the rear with no fender work. Tires are 265/35's, no rubbing. In the front I have 18x8's with 40 offset, no rubbing and a 5 mm spacer, 235/40's.

Yes, I have Tein SS Coilovers. I don't know what the height drop was. I did it for performance, not looks.

BFG DR's? DR's are generally wider than normal street tires. My street tires are Toyo Proxes T1R's.
