Square Wheel Setup? 9.5" all round?

Hi folks,

Cheers!

I was considering buying a square set of 10.5J last night but they haven't ordered any in black so that's out the window.

Should be fine. I know CM Wheels has ran this set up on his 335i coupe before.
Would think you would need a spacer in the rear though or it would look pretty uneven.

What do you mean Adam?

Just thought there must be a reason behind the staggered fitment from factory!

I want a deep concave on the wheels all round!

Had it on my car, will look shit on oem suspension, so you need the coilovers and slightly stretched tyres at the front to pull them of.

i have 9.5 on the front on my summer wheels. It pokes out beyond the fender so needs a bit of stretch. 225-235/35 depending on the tyre brand and camber (assuming you have adjustable top mounts) Just note that depending on the offset you may need a spacer as here isnt much room at the back to clear the strut.

9.5 on the rear will be fine but will need a spacer to match the front. To keep an even look in terms of stretch you will have to run the same tyre as the front - which is not that great in terms of traction unless you don't mind it looking different

Hi mate,

We have ran this on a few occassions;

If running 9.5 on the front, the highest offset you can run is et33. Any higher and the wheel will catch the strut. Lowest we would go is et27.

Driving wise not as comfortable as OEM. With the 235/35/19 tyre on the front giving a stretch you will have a negative effect on steering.

Any more info you need send us a PM.

Chris.
