Pre-LCI aggressive fitment

DukerHD · 03-18-2018, 01:08 PM

Hi all!

I'm looking at picking up a set of ESM 021's for my pre-LCI e90 and I've only seen these run on an LCI e90 which I believe has a rear track that is 8mm wider.

Where I first saw these wheels:

I would be running these specs:
18x9.5 et22 (225/40/18 - PZero A/S+)
18x10.5 et22 (255/35/18 - PZero A/S+)
BC coilovers (plan on setting it just enough to eliminate wheel gap)

I'm curious if this would be too aggressive for my pre-LCI e90 or not. I do plan on rolling the fenders either way if I go this route. Does anyone have any pics or info on the fitment with these specs? Also, seeing these be super fit on an LCI e90 (w/o spacers) would I just need an 8mm spacer on each side to replicate the look?

Thanks

The E90 LCI is 8mm WIDER, meaning the wheels are pushed 8mm more on each side. You don't want to run spacers on that setup. You can, but I wouldn't recommend it. I'm running 18x9.5/10.5 ET22 225/255 with rolled and pulled fenders with -1.9* of camber and I'm slammed. I don't think I could go wider than 235/265 with more camber.

To answer your question; Yes, it will fit. Roll and pull both fenders and trim the rear fenders in the rear where the quarter panel meets the bumper.

Oh okay, I get it. Your fitment is absolutely perfect. Thanks for this!

Did you end up pulling the trigger on the wheels? Would love to see pics of the new setup if you did

Not yet unfortunately, I found a good deal on wheels locally and am now sitting on Concept One C-8's which I believe are discontinued. I can't find another E90 with them fitted, even on Google.
