Will 38et fit on a E90

IzzE90 · 02-08-2008, 12:50 AM

Looking at a set of 19 schnitzer Type III's with 19x8.5 front, and 19x9.5 back all with 38mm offset. Think this will work?

koreez88 · 02-08-2008, 12:52 AM

Of course it will
You can even fit some fat tires there

ET38 will fit fine all around.

IzzE90 · 02-27-2008, 12:20 AM

How about ET 40mm all around

Yep, that'll work too. Might want some 10mm spacers in the rear though.

Will this affect the ride?

If you're going for an aggressive look you want your offsets to be lower numbers. The higher you go, aka 40, the wheels will look more tucked in. The lower you go, say 25ish in the rear, the wheels will be flush with the fenders and look really aggressive.

In general, you want the lowest offset possible, without rubbing.

The ride will be just fine- no issues there.

montreal_bimmer · 02-27-2008, 07:20 PM

yes it will fit fine...

IzzE90 · 03-06-2008, 01:10 AM

Why would I need spacers for the rear?

To push your wheel out further to be flush with your tire well. This is what the above poster was referring to regarding the offset numbers and how aggressive you want the look to be.

I put some 12mm spacers on my e90 with et38 rear. Was way too tucked

i would actually put 10mm in back and a 5mm spacer up front...

IzzE90 · 03-07-2008, 12:09 AM

Why do some don't like to use spacer's?

The wheels will appear very "tucked" with a -38 offset. Looks bad, rides fine. The spacers will push them closer to flush with the body / fender.

Some are concerned with them cracking. As long as you do not use cheap cast spacers, and stick to spacers machined from billet aluminum, you'll be fine.

I tried et 40.......it looked ugly

IzzE90 · 03-08-2008, 01:00 AM

Ok what about 19x8.5 et40 in front and 19x9.5 et25 rear. I have the stock non-sport setup, but thinking of getting the sport setup. I don't think Ill go any lower than that. Will I need to roll the fenders? Spacers??
