About to get my 2nd 135i. Looking to get the VMR 710 in 18s

Will 18/8.5/et45 front and 18/9.5/et 45 staggered fit?
When i searched one person said he had an et50(rear), et45(rear) should fit, shouldn't it?

thx

You can get a 9.5" wide wheel to fit with a stretched tire setup.

The reason why you see most guys going with a +50 or higher ET on the rear wheel is so that they can mount tires that will lay down the most contact patch down to the ground for the best traction.
