Pic Request: 18" staggered Roto Torque wheels on E90 Sports Pkg

jet987 · 01-06-2009, 10:47 PM

Looking for pics of 18" staggered Roto Torque wheels on an E90 with sports package suspension. I've seen pics of them on a lowered E92, would like to see them on an E90 before I decide to buy them from wheeldude.com, who couldn't find any pics on an E90.

I don't think they make staggered wheels for the E9x. I could be wrong though.

Looks very nice!

Zoeb, thanks for posting pics!

Here's my dilemma though... I currently have this setup: ASA AR1 wheels with General Exclaim UHP tires...rears are 19x9.5 with +39 offset on 265/30-19 tires, front are 19x8.5 with +40 offset with 235/35-19 tires.

The 18" staggered Rota Torque wheels with Goodyear Eagle F1 All Seasons are rear 18x9.5 with +30 offset on 255/35-18 tires, front 18x8.5 with +30 offset on 225/40-18 tires.

In the wheel offset calculator above the thread, I input my old wheel and new wheel measurements, it says the new rears would have "9mm MORE clearance on the strut side, and the outside edge of the wheel will EXTEND an extra 9mm" and new fronts "10mm MORE clearance on the strut side, and the outside edge of the wheel will EXTEND an extra 10mm".

My current ASA AR1 wheels are nearly flush with the fenders, if the new Rota Torque wheels extend 9-10mm further than that, will I risk rubbing? Are these staggered Rota Torque wheels with my desired tires a suitable fit?

you'll be fine, theres plenty of clearance to run those offsets

who's sg e90 is that?

I just ordered these Rota Torque wheels in hyper silver from Zoeb at wheeldude.com! 18x9.5 et30 rear & 18x8.5 et30 front, Goodyear Eagle F1 All Seasons 255/35-18 rear & 225/40-18 front, will post pics when I get them in a week or so.

I wanted less unsprung weight than my current 19" ASA AR1 wheels, and a choice of all-season tires which aren't available in 19s. Living in Chicago I wanted one tire for year round use in the summer and snow-covered roads in winter.
