Wheel offset on 10.5J 305's

I'm looking to fit some 305/30/19 Michelin pilot sport 4s on some 10.5J wheels, and I'm wondering what offset people recommend.

My M2C is lowered on Eibach springs which I believe are 20mm at the rear.

I was thinking ET35 on 10.5J would achieve a similar poke to a 10mm spacer on standard wheels. But I'm unsure if this tire would rub on the arch? or the tread might even protrude and I don't want to run aggressive camber

I've been searching through forums for weeks now and cant quite find the same setup. If anyone has any photos of this setup that would be amazing!

Thanks in advance

Josh

This is a 305/35/18 on an 18x10.5ET40 Apex EC-7R, -2.2 camber, lowered 3/4”. 305/30/19 would be slightly shorter.

This is just a track wheel set for me and I have PPF behind the tire, so I’m OK with how aggressive it is, but I think ET35 would be too much for me.

R19 10.5 ET42 295/30 -2.35 camber.




305/30, with this measure it rubs quite a bit



I would never use et35 in a m2.
To use 305 you need et45.

Thanks for the replies and photos guys, much appreciated

The wheels I was looking at come as ET40 max. So I either need to reduce the width down to 295, or go for something like Apex wheels with ET45

Out of interest what power are you both running?

Do you find the 295s are grippy enough for it?
