38F/38R offset for E92?

BMW! · 07-28-2008, 04:12 PM

This will look way too pushed in from the fender right? I found a set of GOOD LOOKING wheels, 19" hyper silver, 5x120, but the offset is 38F/38R... how would this look w/o spacers? lol

It will look okay. Assuming that you're going with 19x9.5 in the rear, the wheels will sit pretty close to where your stock wheels are sitting now. It won't look that bad but spacers would make it look better/more flushed.

oh ya damn wheel expert or I wasn't thinking right about the rear being wider than front :P I really hate how my stock look... Is adding spacers dangerous and troublesome?

There are many people on here that run spacers on their cars and it's been fine. As long as you have the correct bulbs and go with a name brand like H&R you should be fine.

Does anyone have any other comments for 38F/38R offset of an e92?

Assuming your wheels are 19x8.5 in the front and 19x9.5, I would just get a 5-8mm spacer in the rear. You can go 8mm, but that may cause some rubbing. The front, an ET38 offset should be okay in this circumstance. If you can manage to find it though, you can probably get a 3-5mm spacer and it would look very nice. What wheels are they?

Those ET38 wheels sit very similar to those 19" oem wheels, only thing is that they are .5" wide, so they will stick out a tad bit more.

BMW! · 07-29-2008, 01:02 PM

cool! Called them and they say they can shave it and custom it to the offset that I want!

No need to shave off anything of the ET38 wheels. I just meant they would stick out a little bit more than the OEM 19" wheels, which is pretty tucked.

Shaving will not help you make the wheels more flush!
