So I'm looking into buying some drifting wheels just for the rears but the thing is I don't know what's the minimum offset that the rim can be without touching the brakes!
There is someone who sells 4 Bmw rim (those in the picture) but I have no idea if they're going to fit or hit something, tomorrow his going to take a pic of the rim dimensions from the inner rim (don't know how to call it lol) but until he does I hoped someone knows what is the minimum offset that can go on the M2 as I've searched for hours and can't seem to find any information about this!
Thanks in advance for all the helpers and once I have the info from the guy I'll also post it (but also need to know the minimum so it will also help others )
P.S. they're all the same size off course he just lives 2 hours away and don't want to drive and get disappointed if it won't fit..

Id be more concerned with the diameter, they only look to be 17" or 18"which may be an issue clearing calipers. If theyre genuine the size should be stamped into the back of the spokes. Cant stand pretend motorsports like drifting btw.

Yes they are 18' but from my understanding 18' should fit but I've seen a few posts where they mentioned some 18' don't fit which is weird (for example there is a thread where some 18' Apex wheels fit and some don't) so on that part it's really just bad luck if they rub the caliper I guess ?
But in your opinion rubbing the face of the caliper because of the offset would be less of an issue ? I'm not an expert in any way (more of a noob when it comes to wheels fitment lol) so I figured that might be a problem

They also dont look very wide, so your going to have trouble getting a decent sized tire on there. Although if its only for drifting i guess driving dynamics dont matter. If it were me id pass & get a set of genuine used M2 wheels which would be handy if you ever try 'real' motorsport.

Unfortunately there are just 20 maybe just maybe 30 M2 and M2C s in my hole country so finding a used OEM wheel for sale is like finding gold lol, I don't mind looking for 19' and wider rims but I don't know what's good (FYI there is no 'real' or even any Motorsport drifting or even racing here, just 3 medium to small tracks in all the county so in it's just for fun, experience and learning!).
If you have a good advice for a good rear wheel setup (I mean what dimensions) just for drifting it would be amazing and I'll go buy myself a set (the car is stage 1 with downpipe ordered and an intercooler is the next mod + stage 2 in a year from now and that's it, just in case it matters)

Just googled it, took literally 30 seconds to get oem wheel stats. I don't see the difficulty in obtaining relevant info. Your on your own from here, you have the info, it's all pretty straight forward.

I know the oem dimensions ahah just figured for drifting less wider tires would be nicer that's why I asked, really appreciate all the help!
