18x8.5 ET37 wheel issue

Gazwhatup94 · 03-14-2020, 11:22 AM

Hi guys

I've got an E90 pre lci thats got coilovers (Jom) and I've just fitted some MV3 reps to it but getting some scrubbing on the front (wheel is hitting the coilover)

Wheels are stamped 37 inside so assuming this is the offset, and they are 8.5J (I know genuine Mv3 are usually 8J front, 8.5 rear)

What size of spacer can I get away with? I'm running 225/40/18 tyre on the front. Link to picture below

A 10mm spacer might work alright. I'm no expert though

I used a 5 mm spacer, it was just barely enough to clear it. A 10 mm spacer should be just fine, just make sure the 10 is hubcentric. 5 mm spacer will allow you to go lower before you have to roll your fenders, a 10 mm will work but you won't be able to go as low

I have 18 x 8.5 in the front on my coils and a 10mm cleared it just fine. 5mm was to small FYI
