Will 245\40\18 with :20 offset fit E90\E92?

Damage Inc · 12-29-2008, 12:44 PM

I'm looking to use my winter wheels on an E90 or E92. They have an offset of :20, the rims are 8" fromt and 9" rear. The tires are 245\40\18, 265\40\18.

will these fit?

thanks

For the new M3, those sizes should be no problem. Just be sure to check brake clearance.

Yup, they do fit the new M3 since I have them on my car now

I'm asking if they'll fit a non-M car.

NO they will NOT work on the non-M car. The offset of ET20 in the front will NOT work at all. The rear could work with major fender work.

There's a couple of pics of an e91 with style 270 wheels and they're 18x8 ET20.

I don't know the size of the tires on that car, but it looks like an 18x8 ET20 wheel will fit the e90/91 in the front.

Can't remember where I found those pics or who's car it is, looks like German plates.

Are you gonna use them as winters too? Very cool OEM wheels.

19x8.0 +20 with 245 front is on the aggressive side. This setup will be 9mm more aggressive then the generally recommended 8.5 +35 fitment.

You may have some rubbing issues since the 245 tire will bulge on the 8.0" width wheel.

Rear fitment will require fender rolling on a 265 rear tire. You'll want a 265/35, and not a 40. 40 would be too tall of a size.

Yes, I'm gonna paint them black and run 225/40 front and 235/40 in the back studded.
I think they look cool but they're not fun to wash
