Offset questions for fender clearance

kobeballer96 · 01-01-2014, 11:43 AM

Okay, is 17x7.5 et 38 going to be the same distance to the fender as 17x8 et40?

Question is I'm lowered and I bought 17x7.5 et38 wheels and went with BFG rivals in 225/45/17. Note these run a little wider then PSS. And I'm lowered on H&R sport springs with m sport stuts. Will I need negative camber? Or roll fenders? It's either I buy m3 control arms and pull the pin out or I buy brakes for my 128i, I'm trying to figure this out.

It will be 0.9 cm or 9mm closer to the fender I think.

So no camber needed?

Here is the link. Hp autosport mentioned it was going to make the track width wider.
