Talking Squared set up on an E92 RWD......

Squared set up on an E92 RWD:

Good idea or bad idea?


Right now I have OEM 313s 19x8 and 19x9 rear. I was thinking about 19x9 all the around.

These pics are taken before 12mm spacers in the rear.

If you go with a square setup, you'll be able to rotate your tires for even tire wear. A lot of people like the look of a staggered setup but square setups look just as good since you're going with a wider wheel. :twocents:

not sure of the clearance you have up front, but that would give you 18mm less inside clearance to the strut and stick out 8mm more. you may need a spacer up front to fit it, at least 5mm

I think a squared set up is a great way to go. Just make sure you run the right spacer up front

I say go for the square setup, its more economical but just have staggered spacers to evenly flush your wheels.
