OEM to AG M359 Question

pupsterdo · 05-05-2014, 09:10 PM

I currently run OEM 17" wheels on my 2007 e92 with 235/45R17 tires. Fronts have 12mm spacers and rears have 15mm. I just acquired Avant Garde M359 18"x8.5 wheels (35mm offset). I decided to go with the square setup with 235/40R18 tires. My question is will the spacers still be needed, or are they going to push out the wheels too far with the new wider wheels? Of course, I know I could just try them to see, but I figured I'd ask to see if anyone knows ahead of time so I can find my original lug bolts, lol... thanks!

If they are 8.5 all around then yes you can keep the spacers on with no problems.

yea youll def want at least a 15mm spacer on rear. Maybe 20 if the rear is 8.5 wide

oem is usually 8inch wide front offset 35-38mm
and rear is usually 8.5 inch offset 35-43mm.

Give or take you will not be any wider in the rear, so def would want a 15 or 20mm spacer to make it fit flush.

well I have a square set up right now, would that mean 8" wide all around?

I have the same wheels with the same offset and same tire size lol. I used 15mm in the rear and front but 12mm in the front will be better
