18x8 offset on pre-lci E91

gremlin · 05-04-2011, 05:14 AM

Hi,

I have a set of 18x8 et35 with 225/40 tires.
The car is running eibach sport and bilstein B6 dampers.

What size of spacers can i run without rubbing on this setup?

remmib · 05-04-2011, 11:32 AM

Some big ones.

At least 20mm in the rear.

I have the same wheels up front. How wide can i go without any issues?

Will 15mm rear spacers be good? Suddenly not sure if the rims are 8" or 8,5".....

15mm will help a lot.

Can i use the original bolts with 15mm spacers?

You should always run extended wheel bolts with spacers!

I think ill go with 15mm rear (with 42mm bolts). But what spacer size up front? 6? 10?

So

Front: 18x8 225/40 ET35 with 10mm spacers (ET25)
Rear: 18x8 225/40 ET 35 with 15mm spacers (ET20)

The car is lowered with eibach pro`s and bilstein HD shocks.

Does this look like a good wheel setup?

Longer lug bolts should be used with any size spacer.
