Lowest offset up front for a E90? ET25 work?

Alan l. · 03-18-2010, 10:41 AM

I've been running 235 35 19 tires on my 19x8.5 ET30 front wheels and i'm wondering if i could get away with adding a 5mm spacer which would make then ET25 wheels. Visually it looks like i have the room to do it since I am dialed in with some negative camber and not super slammed (fk coils).

What do you guys think?

I've seen it done with Toyo T1R's and Falken FK452's

front rolled fenders are suggested though with that fitment most times..depends how low the car is though

You can do it, I'm running 19x9 et24 225 35 19(e92). If you are going to run et25 I would suggest running a more narrow tire, and camber the stock plates all the way in.

Just to clarify i have an e90 and i have a 25 offset with 20 inch wheels. 8 inch wheels in the front with 235/30/20 and dont rub

+25 offset on a 8 inch wide wheel is different than +25 on a 8.5 inch wide wheel though.

And it depends how low the car is in the front too.

Ditto

I have seen it done, but it really depends on your specific tire manufacturer you are running and alignement/height. You'll how to throw on the 5mm spacer and play around with it for your specific fitment.

My fronts are 19x9.5 ET27 with Falken 245/35/19, really tight in there but it works. I'm also lowered (Eibach).
