Offsets 30 vs 40

I'm looking at 18x8.5 for the front wheels on my e90xi. What offset will give me the best track performance 30 or 40?

You know 18x10 et20 rear is quite aggressive for Lci. Will need fender work and negative camber and isn't ideal size to use at track. Here is pre-lci with 18x10 et20 your wheel will extend 8mm more http://www.e90post.com/forums/showpo...83&postcount=1

As for the front, don't know which is better at track, but et30 will look better. Infact i would use 10mm spacer with that anyway to match the aggressive rear. Tyres 225/40/18 and 255/35/18.

You sure it's going to be that aggressive? Checkout this setup

I'm thinking of a tire setup of 235/35/18 and 275/30/18

I'm realizing those rears would never fit so what about 235/40/18
265/35/18

I didn't mean that it wont fit, because it will. Also the 18x10 et20 will extend 4mm more than the 10.5 et30 and tyre will have less stretch. If you want to fit it with the 265/35/18 it just means more fender work and/or more negative camber. As for front the 18x8.5 et 30 will fit with the 235/40/18 without any issues.

Thanks for the assist. I'm think I'm better off going 18x9.5 et25 or perhaps even 35 then

Yeah the et25 should fit with just fender roll, maybe some camber depending the tyre size. Here is pre-lci e90 example 9.5 et17 with 225/35/19 the lci with et25 will extend to same point http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=724724.

The et35 will fit without fender roll and look like this http://www.e90post.com/forums/showpo...35&postcount=1.

Most likely needs fender or maybe not because xdrive suspension is high.

Then maybe you can. I wont say 100% sure tho. Also he might have played with camber. I know he says stock camber, but there is many different values that are "stock". It's not big deal if you need to roll a little bit.
