E92 - Rolled Fenders

Dr. G · 07-28-2011, 02:14 AM

So I got my new wheels and wasn't really feeling the regular e9x offsets so I want to throw in some spacers.

8.5" et 35
9.5" et 33

This really doesn't look that flush, especially on a lowered car.

Up front I threw a 10mm spacer and it looks REAL GOOD. I have a 225 tire up front and at first I hated the tiny bit of stretch, but now I'm kind of feeling how the lip of the wheel shows a bit, it looks a bit nicer and bigger.

My back looks like shit compared to the front now so....
THE QUESTION IS:
If I roll the rear fender, running about -1.8-2.2 camber, how much of a spacer can I fit in on a pre-lci e92?

The reason I ask is because if it's only 5mm it's not even worth the time, however if it's 8-10mm I would definitely go for it.

I really want to avoid pulling the fender and really want to only roll it, I'm sure a pulled fender won't be as noticeable on a black car, but as long as I can get an 8-10mm spacer in there I will be happy.

Here's a pic showing how it looks right now... the Camber is probably a bit more negative in this pic since the alignment isn't done yet, but it gives you an idea of how it looks so far.

Pic of the fronts? Just want to see your set up

10mm spacers at the front is no problem.

what tire size did you run at the rear? with a 255/30/19, chamber and rolled fender it should possible to run with 10mm spacers rear without rubbing.

yep agree with above. You can go a little more than 10 depending on how gutsy you are.

Use a ruler.

if u roll ur fenders, looks like u should be fine with a 10mm spacer in the rear.

pics of the fronts with 225, leaning toward your setup

rears are 255 right?

NiVeDh · 07-28-2011, 12:27 PM

Measuring it is the only way to make sure since how much space you have depends on how aggressive the roll was.

VMRWheels · 07-28-2011, 01:05 PM

A 10mm spacer can be pulled of if you do a generous fender roll.

To those requesting pics, I'll have some up after I get my centre caps

... I don't have any good shots right now of how the front looks, but it looks pretty nice!

Rear Tire is 265/30/19.... I already put the 10mm up front .. it looks nice!

Can't use a ruler because I don't have the roll yet and I have excessive camber in the back which needs to be corrected, I used a ruler up front and put in the 10mm... out back I didn't want to waste money if I could only squeeze in 5mm, since it seems like there is VERY LITTLE to roll back there.

I'm gonna go with a somewhat conservative roll and put in an 8-10 mm, don't want any pullling of the fenders.

OwnAge · 07-28-2011, 03:19 PM
