Will this fit an e90 LCI

bboy8282 · 05-16-2013, 03:14 AM

Hey everyone...im looking at purchasing a set of VMR VB3 wheels. The spects are as follows: 8x8.5 +35F / 18x9.5 +22R My question now is whether or not these wheels will fit a e90 LCI w/ sport suspension w/o having to roll or shave the fender. I plan on using my stock runflat tires as i have bought the tire warranty and still have about 2yrs left on them. I do plan on possibly lowering the car on H&R Cup Kit down the line. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance

yes these will fit without rubbing. I would run spacers If I were you.

Front will be easy, rear might be tighter, you will be running what width of tires? 235?

I am running 18X9.5 +23 with 255/35 (rear) and the tire rubs the rear fender felt slightly sometimtes. I had a mild fender roll at LTMW. You might need to run 245 rear to be safe.

Fronts should be fine...worried about the offset in the rear.

I have 219M wheels at +23 and I get a slight rub on occasion and I have a pre-lci, which has more rear wheel well than lci.

Ya the rear is the only thing that concerns me esp since i plan on dropping the car down the line and was hoping not to roll my fenders...i think ill pass on this deal and wait for another for sale that catches my eyes...but ya if anyone is interested there is a guy in socal that is selling the vb3 for 550 w/o tires (on the socal section)

The rears are more aggressive than I would recommend. ET33 would be a better more aggressive setup that would require less work to fit.
