E92 17inch Forgestar Wheel Fitment

Mdilo · 04-19-2023, 08:32 PM

I'm looking for help with fitting 17inch Forgestar F14 wheels on my e92 335 on coilovers.

1- Is a 17x9 wheel too narrow to mount a 275 tire?

2- On the rear I want to put 17x9 et35 6.4" backspace with 275/40/17 tires....will I have to roll the fenders?

3- On the front can I fit the same 17x9 et35 6.4" backspace with 245/45/17 tires or will I have to get the 17X8 et35 5.9" backspace?

I couldn't find much info putting 17" forgestar F14 on a e92....appreciate the help!

you can’t/shouldn’t mount 275 on 9” rim!

you need 17x9 et30 front and 17x9.5 et35 rear

front tires 235-255 and rear 255-275

Yeah, I thought 9” was a little thin for 275. The widest these are available in 17” are 9”. I’m going look into a different wheel. Thanks for the info!
