Question 18et 18x8.5 on E90?

Hellooo

Will 18x8.5 et 18 fit on my E90? I think they should be on the flush side!

Thanx in advance!

I dont know thats super aggresive. I tried to run some AC Schnitzers on my E90, the rear et was at around 21 and it was rubbing like a mofo. I mean it was hitting the outside fender.

The 18x8.5 ET18 is definitely way too aggressive for your E90. The setup that is recommended is the 18x8.5 ET35 in the front.

The fitment will be overly aggressive for the fronts. This may cause some damage to the plastic fenders. I wouldn't recommend anything lower then a +30 offset on a 8.5" wheel with a 235 tire.
