E92 non-m 9.5x19 front wheels ET?
Hello..
I want 9.5 front and 11 rear.. I've seen some people running 9.5 on the front wheel with ET22 .. But i think the poke is too aggressive.. This is my car with ET22 9,5x18" There is a little more than 1 cm of air to the strut.. How much clearence do i need to have? Could i theoretically go with ET 30 and then i still have 2-3mm to the strut? This is my car with ET35 8.5x19 My calculations. If i took a 9.5 wheel with et35 it would be 1.27 cm wider on each side compared to the 8.5 .. And then went down to ET30 when it would be 0.77cm between wheel and strut right? And yes i will be running a streched setup tires.. Why does many people run 9.5 ET22 if there is a better solution? im confused |

I'm running 9.5 ET27 and I JUST clear the strut adjuster, but my coilovers have hub adjustment and the spring sits higher up.
I'd go with ET30 but be prepared to run maybe a 5mm spacer to clear, as even with a stretched tyre you might be hitting the spring seat, depends how stretched. |

These are the best photos I have. With a 235/35/19 on and -1.5deg. The top tucks in.
Also the wheel and strut/spring seat are fixed together with no pivot points so as long as they don't touch they should never touch. Tyre could flex I suppose but rim will never touch unless it becomes bent. |
