18x9.5 +22 in the front?

D335NUTZ · 09-11-2011, 11:01 AM

Thinking about running 18x9.5 +22 in the front and 18x10.5 +22 in the rear of my pre lci e92 335xi. Would that fit in the front? I know the rear should fit with a good fender roll. Also what size tires would i need to have it fit. Keep in mind I'm xdrive so i have to keep the diameter difference <1%

Thanks!

Why such an aggressive fitment with 18's? You can't roll the front fenders because there plastic but you can shave them.

WDBi · 09-11-2011, 02:59 PM

you could run 9.5 et 30 in the front with some camber if its a beafy tire if stretched then youd be ok no camber

D335NUTZ · 09-11-2011, 03:43 PM

damn, cuz they only offer the 18x9.5 front in either +22 +12 or +0

225 would fit easily but it will be stretched.

there's like nothing to shave. if you're THAT aggressive,you'll be rubbing the liner anyway

there's always the option of machining the wheel to a higher offset. i don't think it's too expensive

edit: and you already know, it's probably not a good idea to run crazy stretch in nyc. wheel bending aside, if the stretch is too much, the wheel lip will have no protection from the tire

D335NUTZ · 09-11-2011, 04:09 PM

not too keen on machining the wheel. i dunno seems unsafe to me.

lol, dont think its worth it for me. oh well saves me money now. i wont think about buying the rims.

tofu- · 09-11-2011, 04:13 PM

good luck. im trying to figure out how far i can go with 19x8.5 245 up front. at least with the rear we can play around without worrying about cracking a fender

In my experience, 19x8.5 245 will work with offsets in the range of +25 to +40.

don't wanna thread jack (sorry wil), but i'm +35 up front. that means i'd need a non hubcentric spacer. probably not worth it in that case

Some 10mm spacers have the lip. Example: Macht Schnell.

depends on your driving habits and the height of your car. i have a 245/40/18 on a 18x9.5 et 30

car is moderately low, i drive it very hard and it scrubs on dips at speed. my alignment is also aggressive on the toe in front and -1.2 degrees camber each side

you can get away with +22 if you drive easy and have some wheelgap, and a 225 or 235 tire.

D335NUTZ · 09-11-2011, 05:15 PM

yea i dont have wheel gap. im lowered on H&R sports. and i dont want to mess around with the camber.

TSM330i · 09-11-2011, 06:17 PM

I'm not sure what the point is of running a 9.5 front rim and the trying to squeeze on a small tire to clear.

I'm running an 18x8.5 up front with et33 and a 255/35 tire with NO rubbing issues at all. I'm running stock alignment and lowered quite a bit on coil-overs.

D335NUTZ · 09-11-2011, 07:42 PM

the rims i was looking at only came in those sizes/offsets so i was asking about them before purchasing. now i know it probably wont work. so thank you.

Pcemkr · 09-12-2011, 09:27 AM

I have 18x9.5" et19 front with a 225/40. No rubbing. 9.5" et22 is perfect.
