m3 18s on LCI e90....

Chasen1211 · 01-31-2011, 03:22 AM

So will the stock e90/e92 M3 18s fit on an LCI e90? Can't seem to get a clear answer.

thanks

from the research I have done, the answer is no. The offsets are to aggressive. I was looking into buying a set of OEM M3 wheels from a buddy of mine for my 07 335I. My SA told me they would not fit.

I've been staring at my car, and using the calculator, and it "seems" like the fronts should be ok, but the rears may extend a bit far out. On the same token, I've read people running a 22mm rear offset on an e90 non-LCI and it's ok.

They're much easier to fit on an e90 pre-lci, since that has a narrower track width (8mm each side) than the e90 LCI.

should I try to fit the 19in m3 wheel, since they have the same offsets, on my car? Or b/c they're 19, they'll fit completely different than the 18s?

Same offset and width, so basicly the same fitment. But 18s has taller tire walls so you can do more tirestretch on 18s.

run fronts all around?

ah gon · 01-31-2011, 11:09 PM

will rub with the m3 oem tires....use 235 40 18 front and 265 35 18 rear.and rear still need fender rolled.

Chasen1211 · 01-31-2011, 11:25 PM

That not a bad idea, but it's hard to find the 18s already.... 2 front sets, near impossible to find(take offs)...

what is the max camber I can run on stock suspension(sport package)? I'm thinking if i roll my fenders and run a slight stretch of 245-40 all around, I may be able to squeeze the rears in. the fronts would seem to fit fine...

i can't say the front fit fine since the front wheel is et29"what the front wheel width?".i have 8.5" et30 with 235 tire got rub when the tires r new,now is fine.
and rear may good to go coz,u running 245 tires.my frd's e92 used to mounted 9.5" wheel et22,265 30 19 tires with sport suspension and he said no rubbing.

Chasen1211 · 02-01-2011, 03:18 AM
