KkSc · 08-09-2009, 02:41 PM

If i run a set of non-staggered wheel 18x8.5 ET35, and tires is 225/40/18 all around on my E90 330i, which size of spacer i need to place on the rear to make it flush??anyone??

Also if i run the non-staggered on a RWD car, will it cause any problems??thanks!

anyone?

I'd probably go with 20mm back there. Is your car lowered?

I'm running a 18x9.5 with et 35 and could probably add about 5 mm with no roll. Based on this you could go with a 15 mm spacer and be comfortable. A 20 mm might work too depending on your tire size..

My car is lowered with h&r race!

and my tire size is 225/40/18 all around at 4 corners!

You judge. A 15mm will be about 3mm out further than the pic below. My car isn't lowered though so can't say for sure. I'd go with the 15mm to be safe.

If you have 8.5" rims why not go up a size to 235/40/18?

It would be better to use 255/35/18. That is the M-sport fitment offerered as OEM. OEM rear wheels are 18x8.5 ET37, so your 35mm offset is not an issue.
