What size to make rims sit flush with fender?
Anyone here know what size rims and offset to have it sitting flush with the fender, i dealt with spacers once and i dont really want to deal with them again
currently i have 18x9 35mm offest and the rear is so pushed in it looks disgusting unless i get spacers so im selling my wheels any thoughs? |

Why don't you want to go with spacers? They are the most painless way to do it, it allows you to be precise and it's not expensive. Load the car, measure distance from wheel to fender, minus a mm or 2 so you don't rub, buy appropriate size spacer and extended lug bolts.
Not going with spacers will be a much bigger headache imo lol. |

Of course it's possible but a lot more work. I suggest checking out the "stance" threads to get an idea of what people are running to get that look.
http://www.e90post.com/forums/showth...=836355&page=5, post #104. Straight up copy-pasted, I think user intensee92's car. Looks like a good example for an e92, not sure what car you have though. Sry for oversized pic. 19x9.5 +25 225/35 19x11 +22 265/30 This definitely also involves fender work as well and to make it look that good you'll need to lower, especially on an xi. But I hope it gives you an idea. Last edited by Kalidian; 06-16-2013 at 02:07 PM.. |

On an E90 LCI, we generally suggest a 19x8.5 ET35 front with 235/35/19 tire, and 19x9.5 ET45 rear with 265/30/19 tire. It sits pretty flush with the fender and there's no fender work required.
Here's our V703s in 19x8.5 ET40 and 19x9.5 ET45 on an E90 LCI

PM coming your way.
They are the same wheel. We renamed it earlier this year to streamline it with our other models.

Question: Is your setup staggered or square? I was looking at a square set with +23 for my E90 LCI and thought the front would extend out too far. Thx.

This car was shot by our European branch, so I don't have the specs handy. I can't tell what the front specs are, but the rears look like they could either be 19x10 ET38 or 19x9.5 ET33. Both specs fit pretty much the same on the car.
As far as the suspension, I can't be sure since we didn't shoot this one. It may be stock M Sport suspension.
