Will these wheels fit? (dimension discussion)

seh · 10-11-2005, 12:47 PM

I am considering a set of wheels for an E90 with the following dimensions:

Front: 9J x 19 et37
Rear: 10J x 19 et25

Plugging those values into the wheel fitment calculator reveals the following:

Front:
16mm LESS clearance on the strut side, and the outside edge of the wheel will EXTEND an extra 10mm
Rear:
7mm LESS clearance on the strut side, and the outside edge of the wheel will EXTEND an extra 31mm

The rear extension sounds worrisome. Even with these numbers, I still don't know whether these wheels will fit. I'd appreciate some help figuring out what the actual tolerances are, and whether I can safely pursue purchasing such a wheel.
