8,5x18" et13 in front e92

CarleeSWE · 05-30-2012, 05:28 PM

Found a nice set if BBS wheels with e39 fitment that I really would like to fit. So 8,5x18" et13 with maybe a 215/45/18 tire fit in front on my e92 w H&R sports + lower front wheel perches and no camber? Inputs

:

If not, what would be the lowest offset possible to go with that setup? Maybe I could shave of a few millimeters of the hub...

Not a chance without suspension work (I don't even think this'll work stock height).

I ran 19" 8.5 et-25 lowered and it was pretty close to the limit - remember on our e92's the front fenders are plastic and can't be rolled.

You run too aggressive and hit a nice pothole and you'll literally shatter the front fender into little plastic shards.

I'm not the super stretch and poke expert but maybe if you ran 215's or 225's with some serious camber - I'd hit up Tee313 or StrechNPoke on PM for some aggressive fitment advice

It can be done that's about the same as 9.5et25 which has been done. You'll most likely need some camber though.

Thanks for the inputs guys! I've seen lots of people here run oem m359 9x19" et31 with wider tires and claiming no rubbing, but maybe they run aggressive camber?

This is about the same as 18x9 et19. You don't need an insane amount of camber.

Yeah true... What do you think would be the lowest offset possible with a 215 tire? 20-23?

If you don’t know wtf you are talking about, don’t talk.

8.5” et13 with 215 is no problem. I run 9.5” et19 with 225 without rubbing.

Notice I said I wasn't an expert and to ask someone who was?

No need to be a jerk.

Then why post at all?

You may as well post "I don't know the answer to your question."
