18x8 et13 M Parallels on e90 sedan

marksmanGT · 08-10-2014, 01:40 PM

Hi bought a set of used M Parallels reps, 18x8 et13, they have 225/40r18 rubbers on them. The previous owner said he had them on his e90 so i didn't pay much attention on the offset. After installing them, I noticed that the tires stick out of the fender for about 5mm, and the ride is much different from before.

So after looking into it online, now i'm concerned about the fitment, since some say that M parallels don't work well on e90s. Is there potential issue with this setup? my car is a non-sport 328i. Thanks guys for your help!

this is going to rub in the front. Can't see the rear from the picture, but it should also rub on your (LCI) car.

That's why it's NEVER a good idea to buy used rubbers.

You can remove the camber pin and try to get a little more camber up front. Going down to a narrower tire would also help.

Go down from a 225 just to make a wheel "fit?" That sounds terrible.

Needs a little more stretch the tire is kind of wide for an 8" wheel with those offsets especially at stock camber.
