Any benefit to running the 18x8 rims all around vs the 18x9 rims in the rear?

Thanks.

I originally purchased two 18X8's and tried them on the rear and didn't like the way it looked, they were to tucked in on the rear and flush on the front. So I put them on the front and ordered the 18x9 for the rear.

For all wheel drive vehicles its usually preferred. Plus you can actually rotate your tires instead of having to buy new ones constantly.

The Enkei HPFs are awesome as far as quality/cost/weight goes. I believe they are around 17lbs. They don't come in a staggered format for the 18s though

Ordered the MT1's from Tirerack.com and they should be here on Tues. Thanks for the info.

anyone think 18X8 ET32 with 245/35/18 would fit the front of E90 without rubbing?
Anyone have this exact setup?

I think you would be ok with a stock sport suspension there seems to be room for 20 more mm of tire but I have no clue if you are lowered.

I bought a set of these for my car. I will run them on the Nordschleife this summer and somewhat skeptical how well they'll hold up. I managed to bend a BBS RGR last year during an 'off', but even during normal driving, the 'ring is punishing. Time will tell.
