Hey gang,
2011 328 Xdrive - currently on sqaure 17" 225/45's.

Got some style 118 wheels from a 6 series that I like the look of and am planning on going 225/40/18. My one wrinkle is that they'd need at minimum 20mm spacers to get back to 'normal' and I'm thinking that 20mm + another 5mm at the rear end.

My question is: how goofy is 25mm of spacer going to look/how safe is having a 25mm lump of aluminum between the hub and the wheel? Anyone else have something similar?

Thanks!

What's the offset for the 118?

I'm currently running 18 x 8 eta 34 with 225/40/18 and 25mm spacers in the rear.

With the extended lug bolts, no problem at all. Stays torqued even after 500 miles so far. No wiggle or vibration.

I'm a noob to it all, but learning fast. They're ET14's so now that I'm actually paying attention to what that means, fender rub is now my chief concern. (Had it backwards in my head)

If you have 25mm's in the rear, that would place them pretty much where Style 118's would sit naturally on the e90's hub - do you have any fender rub concerns?
