8.5'' or higher front and 9.5'' or higher rear wheels fitments

Kizzu · 06-20-2014, 08:41 AM

SO, bothering you guys again

BUT I am seeing a lot of topics regarding vmr and apex wheels as they mainly have really appealing wheels for the 1er fitment BUT other than those 2 brands any one knows of other wheel brands that can be fitted to an 1er WITHOUT any rub? I know vmr's and Apex have very nice wheels but I lately I saw some rota's (yeah I know ''cheap crap'') and enkei's rs05rr and I just want something with a different style but with a good aggressive wheel width and fitment..
Any opinions and brands that offer such requirements?

Look at their specs and go from there. Figure for a 9.5 rear with a (real) 265 tire you need an offset of 50-62. For the fronts it depends on what your camber and tire sizes will be. CCW's are made to spec. Takes some homework to try something new, but isn't out of the question. Just don't be one of those people who put small tires to get wheels to fit, that fad is dying.

8.5 front seems to fit a 35 offset (agressive) to 45 offset (more functional...can go wider tires)

Tho...i have 35 offset up front with a 225/40/18 tire up front just fine.
