Spacer question

Indenial · 01-07-2009, 06:35 PM

Hey.

I just mounted some 19x8.5 and 19x9.5 Linea Z2s on my e90. The tires are 235x35 19 in the front and 275x30 19 in the rear. How much of a spacer can I run on the front and back without rubbing issues.

Also were can I get spacers and extended lugbolts??

Thanks

What are the offsets on the Linea L2s? Quality spacers should come with the appropriate length lugbolts, most members here go with Rogue or H&R.

Edit: Correction, Rogue spacers come with bolts, H&R do not.

ET30 in the front. Et35 in the rear

Is your car lowered and/or do you have sport package (ZSP) on your 335? Offhand I wouldn't touch the front, 5mm on the rear if you want to play it safe. You could go with a 10mm spacer on the rear if you never plan to lower the car but depending on the sidewall of that particular model tire it may be pushing it.

Yeah, the car is dropped on H&R sports. The tires are Nitto Invo. I just want it to look a little more agressive.

Then I wouldn't dare put anything larger than 5mm at the rear without consideration to roll the fenders and/or adjust your camber.

Edit: Hold on, do you have a sedan or coupe?

ehh. The car is leased. Would rolling the fenders strike a nerve with the dealership?

I would personally try to measure that up and see how far you think you can go. With those offsets you actually should be perfect and shouldn't have to run any spacers to push it out. BUT, if you really wanted to, I wouldn't do more than 5mm in the rear.

I would take tape measurer and check how much room in the rear you have to push the wheel out, it shouldn't be much at all I believe.

I'm not knowledgeable about that kind of stuff to comment. But incase you missed my edit earlier, is your 335 a coupe or sedan? Sedans can accommodate wider rears than coupes.

I agree, don't go more than a 5 for the rear but those offsets should be ideal for your car. You can probably get away with rolled fenders on a lease but I see no reason to given that the wheels are the proper fit.

It is a sedan.

Also, The wheels look a little recessed to me. Are you guys recommending that I run nothing in the front??

Bump! I want to order these soon.

It's hard to see but the car curves and gets narrower as you move to the front, if you put a spacer to push out the front wheels, it may look flush towards the doors but will stick out as you follow the fender opening towards the bumper.
