E90 LCI: 18x9.5 ET20

Yozh · 08-18-2014, 02:25 AM

Hey All,

I'm thinking of getting 18x8.5 ET30 front and 18x9.5 ET20 in the rear on an E90 LCI with factory sport/m-tech suspension and 225/255 or 235/265 rubber.

I can go for safe offsets 50 front and 40 rear, but I like the concavity with smaller offsets.

So, the ultimate question (and another from the series of "does it fit"). I know I most likely need to roll the rear fenders as I will be 30mm out. Can anyone confirm that there is no other major modifications that will need to be done?

Thanks in advance.

Think its best to run 255 in the rear for the offset and suspension you have.

You may not even have to roll the rears, depending on the brand of tire you get

Hankook, Pirelli etc...

You will have to do fender roll for sure, but i wouldn't get more than 255/30/19 to rear. Also you might need to adjust camber a little bit. I would add 10mm spacer to front so it matches the rear much better. Front with 225/35/19 is fine and with those specs you get this kinda look except it will extend 4mm more at rear http://www.e90post.com/forums/showpo...&postcount=319

IMO you should do 9.5et20 up front as well and get camberplates.
