ET20 8.5 Upfront? Pre LCI E90

First things first i've used the wheel calc and know how much it will extend lalala

But in essence has anyone run this set up and what are your experiences

Im looking to potentially buy Klutch SL14s this weekend

18inch
8.5 9.5 ET20 all round

Looking to put 225 / 245 on them so a little stretch

Im pretty wheel savvy but a bit lost in regards to these as some people say on m sport suspension that youl be fine and with them tyre sizes you wont rub or need fender mods but others say it wont fit on the Pre LCI without mods

Looking for a definitive answer, whats the most people have run on on Pre LCI E90s without issues?

Cheers

It's gonna be tight mate is all I'll say. Not saying it's not possible with a little bit of negative camber but you might find they poke ever so slightly.

I'd probably drop down to 215/235 tbh, ET20 8.5 is pretty difficult to get under the front arch without camber.

i know this wont be a definitive answer but i want to help! lol

i'm running 9j et25 w/ 225 on my fronts and i've got an e93... that would roughly be 8.5j et19 with 215... but i am very low and it's just about okay with some camber... i'm pretty sure if you're not low you should be okay?
