Square Setup with 8X18 ET52 Possible?
I would be buying two additional OEM m235i rear rims, putting them on the front axle, and pairing them with either 245/40 or 235/40 tires. Can anyone please tell me if this would work?

No - wont work. The OEM rear wheels bind on the front at full lock.

Hmm, I'm surprised it wouldn't work as the offset + increased width of the results in the same offset as the stock front wheels. I assume you've tested them though and it didn't work?

18x8.0" ET52 would have 13mm less inner clearance yet would also retract inward from the outside bumper by 1mm. I could add a 7mm spacer to help offset that. I've never bought wheels for a car before. Can anyone confirm that my calculations are correct and/or that this setup would work? Last edited by Celestion; 09-28-2014 at 12:21 PM.. |
