Will 17x9 fit the front
I have a set of 18x9.5 et45 square but they were too wide for the front and broke the clips on my front bumper. Has anyone ran 17x9 on the front and what offset?

Yes. This should answer any questions you have: https://support.apexraceparts.com/hc...-Fitment-Guide
Depending on your suspension you'll need to run a spacer. But in the ballpark of ET35-40 on a 9" will work up front. |

Anyone else have a confirmed other company that has a 17x9 option that works? No Apex slander, just looking for other options too. |

I don't have that brand but I've got a similar wheel design that came in 18x8 ET35. I'd like to size down for a meatier tire fitment, especially since my area has rough roads.

Math is still the same for any brand you go with, the volume of space will be the same. So why knock on Apex because they did it?
Same math applies for 18x9 but the tire size will be different to get the same overall tire diameter. https://www.apexraceparts.com/blog/n...-bmw-1-series/ First will be how WIDE of a tire you will run, you will need to change out the suspension to some coilovers to clear the lower spring perch. You will also need lots of camber pending tire width. |
