18x9.5 +23 == A tad bit too aggressive?? Will rolling fender be enough??

jeho · 02-03-2009, 02:55 AM

I test fitted a 12mm spacer on tonight on my 18x9.5 +35 Advan RS = ET +23

The tire is a 255 Pirelli P7000 (crap beater winter tires i use just to get around
at the moment BUT as soon as spring hits, the Dunlop Direzza 265s will be back on and look much much beefier

This is at -2 camber...

Will rolling fenders be enough or would i need to pull the fenders and add more camber?

I have a E90 with sports package and I'm running 18x9.5 in back 22 offset, but with a 255 S.Drive tire. No rubbing, but it's close. You should be able to get away with just a fender roll if you want to run a 265.

Looks great first off .... and yea your going to need to roll them pretty flat ... I had to on my car.

Rolled with line corse m3 offset and 265's! Runs fine!

Slightly off topic but can you snap some pics of your front wheel profile like you did with the rears. I purchased some Advan RSs (still waiting for arrival) and am receiving the 18x8.5-32 and 18x9.5-35 wheels and am interested in how much room there is before rubbing. I just received my tires today - ordered 235/40 for the front and 265/35 for the rear. My concern is will I rub on the front with these wheels/tires.

you shouldn't have problem with those offset.

Thanks! Very helpful. I'll probably still be a bit nervous until I have them on. I would prefer a 35 offset for the front but the Advan RS do not offer that offset in an 18*8.5.

i rolled my fenders on my +25 LM's and i still rub slightly

Ghost170 · 02-06-2009, 06:12 PM

I'm currently running +25 19x10 with falken 452 tires in 265. If I want to put 275, I probably can't go past +27 offset. No camber adjustment, just flared and rolled fenders. So If you run a fat tire, this combo may not work. Also limitation of the e92 335 for offset will be the rear bumper. Unless you do body work. With my flare job, I can probably even go up to +22 offset, but can't due to the rear bumper.

I'm guessing you are rubbing on the corner of the rear bumper. And it depend on what kind and size of your tires too. I heard the narrowest side walls are Falkens and Toyo.
