Hey Guys,

My Dad bought a set of AC Schnitzer Type 1's for his E30 M3 to run wets, but the offset is too small and he doesn't want to get spacers to make them fit. So I have the chance to put them on my Ti.

The first question is with regard to the "standard" Ti offset (is it 30-40mm)?

The Type 1's spec's:

Offset is 13mm
17 x 8.5J

If I get 20mm spacers will this give me the correct offset? and what are the risks with running spacers?

The next question is what size tires should I run? I'm thinking of 235/45/17 to keep the roll diameter the same, does anyone else run these?

Cheers Matt
