    18x8.5 BBS CH's on a 5 stud swapped E30..

    This is going to happen, I'm just after info about the offsets and spacers required..They are 18x8.5 BBS CH rims, offset 35. Had the wheels up against the car today (car is still 4 stud), it was half jacked up, but the rear looked good, the front will def need spacers, and will lose some turning circle for sure!

    Just wanting to know if this can be done with the 318ti rear end/e36 m3evo control arm 5 stud swap, And just quality experienced advice whether or not this shall be do-able/fricken sweet. Guard rolling and spacers are both a-OK.

    Thanks guys

    I'm running 18x8.5 all around with e36 m3 front and e30 m3 rear. Front offset is either et43 or et36 not sure the ac schnitzers i have on the car have et43 stamped on the spokes but came with a 7mm spacer on all four so i do not know if the offset is including the spacers or not. The rears i added a 10mm spacer.

    Currently im running 225/35/18 tires all around but the rears look like 245 should fit with rolling of the fenders.

    The fronts do rub on the sway bar when the steering is at full lock.

      Good info from Boosted here. For the record, ACS' are +43 without the spacers.

      The wheels will fit an all-E36 5-lug setup without spacers, and 225/35/18 tires. This will most likely require a fender roll in the rear.

        Ok so if the Acs are 43 with no spacer that makes the fronts et36 and rears are et26 and 225/35/18 all around.

        I had to roll the front fenders so the lip inside is completely flat, As for the rears they are not rolled but if you want to go wider then a 225 in the back you will have to roll them.

        These offsets give you almost perfect fitment at least to me I will post up a pic later.

          I run 235/40r17 on a 17x8 et38. all e36 suspension, dropped on coilovers. No rubbing but clearance is tight in the rear with rolled fenders on an early car.
