So my friend is selling his brand new Work XD9s, and i think it would look good on my e90. They are Honda fitment, so I am wondering how I can get them on my car. Anyone ever run a wheel adapter? Is it safe?

Heres the setup, 4x114.3, +45 offset, Falken Ziex ZE912 225/40/18, aside from an adapter, would i need spacers? can you even run spacers on adapters? Think the tires are too skinny? i prefer 275s in the rear m'self... Let me know what you think, recommendations welcome.

225 in the rear?

unless this is a winter setup, that sounds like the epitome of form over function.

and to be honest, it probably would look goofy from behind.

i can put the 255s that i have on my 189s on the rear...think a 265 would fit?

Unfortunately 275's are too wide for an 8" wheel.

If you run a 20mm adapter, your offset will virtually be a 8.0 +25 which will be pushed out 4mm more then the general 8.5 +35 most E9x members run here. With that being said, I wouldn't run anything wider then a 225 tire or you'll have some rubbing issues up front. The rears on the other hand, will be a bit sunken.

All in all, it might be a better idea to look into wheels that offer a proper bolt pattern and offset so that you do not have to purchase aftermarket hardware.
