who says +32 offset doesnt fit!!

Brissie · 03-04-2010, 07:34 PM

like to see someone trying something different. And I think OP did it for fun only.

scorcherjf · 03-04-2010, 07:39 PM

lol 18x9 rim +32 offset with 245's will most likely not fit on a 135. I had a hard enough time with 18x9 +40 with 255's. And it's not only a matter of look, but with such an aggressive offset you're "wasting" space on the inside. From underneath the car it looks like an inch or more of rubber could've fitted easily on the inside. I'm probably gonna switch my rims this summer for something that fits better to get the thickest tire possible in there...

the car is bone stock, with currently no suspension work.. does the car look a bit awkward with its stance, Yes. with some negative camber I think it would change it a lot; but r3negade is right seeing breytons and csl with normal offsets is getting boring... I am not going to order a new set of rims, just so I can pull into a target parking lot and see 3 other 1's with the same aftermarket rims... whats the point

i guess it is just a matter of opinion tho. If we didnt try to stretch the limits of what was possible everyone could enjoy +50 offset... horayyy

i know. millimeters, however small, make a big difference though. do the re-v's. i just think you should try to stay around 37.

didn't cut, but rolled pretty aggressively and about -1.6 degrees of camber in the rear

135forthewin · 03-04-2010, 10:55 PM

Now THAT is stretch! Most stretch i've seen on a 1er so far, beats CCW's vert by far.

Have you been hanging with the VW crowd lately? haha

heyimsam · 03-04-2010, 11:37 PM

It's not a matter of "stretching the limits of what's possible" it's a matter of what makes sense, and actually works. I can stuff my size 12 foot into a size 10 shoe, but does that mean I should?

I can't wait until this whole "stretched tire" trend is over and done with. It's got to be one of the most absurd automotive trends of modern history.

9x17 ET 38 front with 15mm spacer and 5 degrees camber

9x17 ET 38 rear no spacer about 2 degrees camber.

1013mm · 03-06-2010, 10:42 AM

this fad has been going on for almost 20 years maybe more. no turning back now. hellaflush, hellapoke, jdm, 4x4 whatever everyone has their own thing going.

Alex@Alpine · 03-06-2010, 04:53 PM
