Will it fit? 18x8.5 in the front e92

Digitalinkartist · 09-08-2011, 07:42 PM

I am pretty certain this is a no brainer. I want to run a square setup. Will this fit the front of the e92. According to my calculations they should.

Specs as follows:
18x8.5 ET37 (original fronts are: 18x8.0 ET34) with 265 rubber

TIA

The wheel itself will fit, but I'm not sure with 265 tires.

+1 - would most likely go with the 18x8.5 ET37 with a 235/40/18 all around for this squared setup.

255s should fit just fine. that's what the stock rears run, which are 8.5" wide. 265s would fit the rim, but you may have rubbing issues unless you can dial in a lot of negative camber.

Isn't 235 anemic as a contact patch?

I think I am going to shoot for 255

I would run 245/35 to push em out a little bit or if you want a flush look 235/35 with a 12mm spacers

I'm running 12mm spaces up front on 18x8.5 et35.
