Hi David, guess I can pose this to you as well.
On a pre-lci E90, can one use the concave 9.5 (with or without a spacer) up front with either 255/40/17 or 245/40/17 without camber plates? Any guess as to how much camber is needed? I currently have pins pulled and m3 control arms (guessing my camber can be pushed to -1.5). |

Anyone have pics of the 17x9 ARC-8 on an E90? There doesn't seem to be many around.

So I am in the process of ordering a set of 17" Arc-8's. These will be for my 07 335xi. I've already ordered the new Dunlop star spec in a 245/40R17. How would these fit on a 9.5" wheel and on my car? I have camber plates, but would rather not use them on the street since these will be my daily tires. I was originally going to get 17x9 but they won't be available until June apparently.
Edit: After more reading, it appears the 9.5" requires some camber and a 5mm spacer....so I might be stuck waiting two months My poor snow tires..

For a 9.5, I would go 255 or 265. 245 will be stretched on a 9.5. Last edited by 3002 tii; 03-21-2013 at 08:54 PM.. |

Correct. I use the additional camber for track days and autocross and switch it back for the street. I was concerned about stretch of a 245 on a 9.5 too....even though it shouldn't be nearly as bad since they're an extreme performance summer tire. I'm thinking I'll have to end up waiting until the 17x9 becomes available again.

Right...they are adjustable. Alignment is set using least aggressive setting and then fully adjusted yields around -3* of camber.

I have read through this thread and am 99% sure I know the answer to this, but want to confirm before I place my order. I have an LCI 2010 e90 335i with m-package, and I am going to get the 17/9.5 arc-8. I am going to be fitting them with 255/40/17 r-compound rubber (either R888 or nt01). I am going to get camber plate and dial it into -2.8 degrees. I will not have any issue with rubbing on the front or back correct? I have not seen in this thread if the LCI will rub in the back with this set up.
Thanks again! |

Do you all have a full side view shot of the car with the 17/9.5" with 255 on it? Want to see how it looks. If anyone has anything comparable I would also be interested to see!
Thanks! |
