So i had originally decided on apex ec-7s for the summer but have decided to be different and get custom wheels i have never seen on a 335 instead.. Now I would have gone with the normal 18x8.5 and 18x9.5 however the rim in 18x8.5 is offered in semi concave which i dont like and the 18x9.5 is deep concave so I'd much prefer to have the deep concave all around.. Now my question is will a 18x9.5+30 all around with 235/40 front and 265/35 work without additional modifications? I will be lowering the car on kw v1's at the same time when i mount my summer rims.. Thanks so much.

I use 17" 9.5 et30 in front with -2.7 camber. You will need to get camber plates if you want to fit them in front. Rear is not an issue.

No he wont need camber plates and wont be needing that much camber at front, because he is going with 235/40/18.

Yes 18x9.5 et30 will fit to front with 235/40/18 and you don't need any modifications. I had that exact setup on my E90 without any problems and camber was within specs. http://www.e90post.com/forums/showpo...3&postcount=39

Here is E92 with 18x9.5 et22 and 235/40/18

The rear should fit without any modifications.

Perfect thank you, i like hearing from people that have had the exact same setup.. Guess its time to order them now

9.5 et30 might not clear the front coilovers. You might need a 2-5mm spacer.

Thanks, if spacers would be my only concern than I am not worried at all

I kinda regret that i didn't test my old apex wheels 18x9.5 et35+5mm spacer with my coils. But based on my current setup i think 9.5 et30 will give enough clearance.

Hey MonacoBlueE90 do you think 19x9.5 ET33 with stretch tire would fit a stock or H&R lowered E90 pre LCI? I once mounted just the wheel and it clears the strut by just a few mm's. Like 235/35/19?

Yes it will fit with 235/35/19 and you don't need any modifications. I used to have 18x9.5 et35 with 235/40/18 and H&R lowering springs on pre-lci e90.

Just wanted to say thank you for your help, placed my order for my wheels yesterday 18x9.5+30 all around, should be here in 8-12 weeks

No problem. That's quite long wait. What wheels you ordered or is it a secret?

[Dr. G]

The one thing I would worry about is the rear will look quite a bit more sunken in comparison to the fronts.

Yeah I am not trying to let the cat out of the bag too early haha want to be able to get a good teaser going before I put them on right now the only thing I will say is they are custom order Work Wheels so that's why it is such a long wait.

I definitely thought about that but I will be running a 235/40 front and 265/35 rear which should bring the rear slightly out a little more and I will use spacers if necessary

[MrSlickk]

Did you end up running this?

Yes I did, on a 235 tire with my KW's lowered basically all the way down in the front it rubbed on the front fender liner a bit.

[MrSlickk]

I have that problem but not even lowered half way idk why
