I've read threads with wheel offsets til my head spun.

What's it gonna take to squeeze this setup on my e92?

2008 335i coupe with stock sport suspension.

Front. 18x9.5 et35 with 235/40/18
Rear. 18x9.5 et22 with 265/35/18 (maybe 255/35/18)

Will it fit well enough to daily drive and carve some corners without tearing anything up?

[TimmyG]

Or I could use the et35 on the rear as well...and run 5mm spacers to make the outward extension of the wheels about the same as the fronts. I'd rather fit the et22 rears since they would be slightly more concave.

Will my fronts fit tho?

on stock suspension, throw those suckers on and ull b set.

i think u might have to run a couple 3-5 mm spacer up front to avoid hitting strut.

Rears may work, but it still might need some slight fender rolling with the 255's. This will depend on what specific tire manufacturer/model you go with.

I was thinking michelin pilot sport ps2. Do you know if they run wide/skinny or round/square sidewalls?

If you're planning on running a square setup, why are you going with different tire sizes?

[TimmyG]

That's a good question. The answer is this.

It's not a race setup, but a street setup. I want the 9.5 inch width all around because they are a concave wheel. The 9 inch width are more or less flat faced. The purpose of the square setup is purely for the concave look.

Makes absolutely no sense to run different tire sizes on that setup.

[TimmyG]

Makes no sense to me to run 255s or 265s on the fronts when I am putting this setup on the street. I don't want the clearance issues or the increased steering effort. I made it clear the size wheels and concave look are purely for aesthetic purpose. Make more sense now? Go flame someone else.

timmy u run'n te37s?

why not 18x9.5 et22 all around.
run the 235 and 265or255
toyo t1r will give u more room tire wise.
u'll have to do slight roll in rear.

with ur ZSP suspension u should be
good - and do i dare say lower -


i'm running in the front
18x9 et22 with a 245
-ur 235 will be fine.

PS2's do run on the wider side with rounded side walls. You still may need a bit of fender rolling.

Thanks yall. 18x9.5 et22 on the front wouldn't be too aggressive? I mean that wheel would extend outward more than an inch vs the factory rollers. Don't wanna wreck plastic fenders.

9.5 +22 up front would be very aggressive. You will get some wheel poke. I would recommend at least a 225 tire.

Thanks man. Probly go 18x9.5 et35 all around and run spacers if desired or needed
