2011 e90 xi square and flush?

Hi folks,

I want to run a square setup on all 4 wheels and have the sides of my car look flush (right now from my crude measurements it looks like the front is too far in by about an inch and the back is too far in by about half an inch).

Not sure how best to achieve this, I've been looking at the beyern spartan wheels and by my calculations the 18x8.5 et20 should be about right. I'm also trying to ruthenium same size tire so a 255 would be neat but not sure it'll fit front.

I'm not planning on lowering the car.

Will this work and be pretty flush with the side? Any suggestions?

you need to lower the car then rock with spacers if you want to flush it.

i have 19s 8.5 and 9.5 lowered and thinking of getting spacers so the wheels will flush more.

i have 09 xi

That would be pretty much flush, but you wouldn't be able to use a 255.

9.5et33 is the same outer fitment and you should be able to use 245/40/18 all around. The tire will only be very slightly stretched.

You could also do 9 et31 square with a 245/40/18. No stretch but tucked in 4mm more than the other fitments.
