Wheel fitment question

xcellr8tion · 10-06-2010, 09:44 PM

Guys - fairly new to the 1's and been doing some research about wheel fitment. I'm wanting to purchase a set of wheels that I think might fit (may require some light rolling in rear, spacers in front?) but would love some advice from the experts on here. It will be on a stock height m-sport

Front: 19x8 et28
Rear: 19x10 et44

And, if you think it might work, what size tires would you try?

Thanks for the advice

Ohh - and if you think it would just totally look like a$$, don't be shy to say so :-)

That setup is over 6mm more aggressive and closer to the fenders than what most of us are willing to use, especially in the front. If you hit a large bump or put some weight in the car you will rub, even if rolled. The only way this will work is if you plan to run around 2degrees of camber. In that case this is not a bad setup. However most use camber in cars that are lowered, with the stock suspension it will look pretty awkward. Btw, spacers will make these wheels fit worse.

Ok thanks for the advice. Yeah i dont know what i was thinking about the fronts!

Too bad, i loved these wheels!

Just in case you were still considering it. My calcs would put the outer rear rim outside the rear wheel arch by about 10mm, so if not running super stretched tyres and massive camber thats gonna rub like a bitch with crabs. Fronts as you have now spotted would also be Carlos Fandago Specials..
For a 10" rear rim you'll likely need a 50 offset and for the front 40 and over is the usual minimum offset. HTH.

For those of you (like me) that didn't get the Carlos Fandango reference, I looked it up. Funny:

Definitely would not work at all. 1-Series use extremely high offset wheels.

Thanks, Charles - do you think with some machining it would be possible, or still no?

No way. No matter what.

xcellr8tion · 10-08-2010, 03:20 PM

Now that's a definitive answer - thanks!

BTW - tell "Cody" Repp says hi, we've been family friends since he was like 6

Gary@TireRack · 10-08-2010, 03:44 PM

Done!

Unfortunately not. These specs are just way out of the recommended range for a 1-Series...
