Anything thing wrong with running an extremely STAGGERED Setup?? A difference of 2.5"
So I just picked up a set...and I think I did a good job over here.
The fronts are 18x7.5 and the rears are 18x10. I plan on spacing them out so they'll definitely clear. Are there any downsides to running this much of a staggered setup? I typically see people running a 1" stagger...1.5" tops. Most people go with something like: 18x9 front, 18x10 rear. Just making sure I won't have any issues here. Thanks. |

LOL tell me how you really feel LMAO 7.5 inch isn't that bad! OEM is 8" in front. You can't see a difference between 7.5" and 8" in all honesty. They're being spaced out anyway so they'll look like 9" wheels. Plus they're running 225/40/18...so what difference does it really make that the wheel is 7.5"? |

If you bought them for looks and/or price, it's ok. They will work without issues on the street. The understeer will only appear if you push it in corners more than it would be reasonable on the streets.

These cars swallow up 11" rears. I have 11" rear and it doesn't even look wide.

I have an E90 LCI. It's no different than E92. Stop making excuses.

I want them to be flush and I haven't seen anyone with a set of 11" rear wheels sit flush...they ALWAYS POKE! This is an example of the type of stance I'm heading towards:http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=551411 |

My 11" et32 rears are just about flush.. maybe 5mm poke. You can also run like 11" et40 and be sunken in.. there's plenty of room on the inside/shock side
http://robszot.net/wp/wp-content/upl...1/12/rears.jpg This was 11" et20 so take 12mm off that and it's flush. http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4039/...ccdae763_b.jpg
