Aggressive Wheel Fitment

Stone_henge · 04-21-2014, 10:50 AM

Hi I came across a nice set of stepped lipped HRE but were originally for a BMW Z8 so wheel sizes are 19x9 et15 and 19x10 et15. Anyone know if these will fit? or what might be required to make them fit. Fender roll, stretched tires, camber, etc....I have a non LCI E90 sedan lowered on H&R springs. Thanks

It "can" fit but it will need some work. Stretched tires and fender rolling. It just depends on how much work you want to do to get them to fit without rubbing.

Yeah, i would say 225/35/19 front and 255/30/19 rear with rolled rear fenders and some added camber.

For OP front would be 10mm more out than this 19x9 et25 and 19x10 et15 setup.

Not really a straight forward, bolt on, no modification necessary type fitment. People have run similar specs in the past and it is aggressive. If you're not looking to do any fender work or potentially stretch your tires, that wheel sizing is not for you.

Thanks for the replies. Looking to get my fenders rolled as a start. I already have a set of 265/30 and 235/35 tires I was going to put on but now wondering if I should wait and go with more stretch (255/225).

Is milling a few mm off the back of the hub an option? I've heard of people doing 3-5mm. I know this depends on how much extra there is to begin with but anyone know the minimum required thickness between the back of the hub and bottom of the bolt seat is?. Tried to look up SAE codes but gotta pay for them. Going to contact HRE as well and see what they say.

HRE is most likely going to tell you no way. We have customers that call about that exact subject every now and then, and we tell them the same thing. If the wheels are designed to use a standard lug bolt size, most likely the depth of the actual opening from the bottom of the seat to the back pad is about 7.5-8mm. Machining metal off is going to make the lug bolts further recessed in the hub, and could compromise the strength of the wheel a bit. I've seen people that have filled and drilled wheels though, where the openings for the lugs is filled with extra material, then the back is machined down to the offset that's needed, and a new lug seat is drilled again, but that's a topic for another day.

Yeah that's exactly what they said and what I figured due to liability issues.

I would say no. But, its doable. If you do it, then it would look amazing.
