Just wondering, would 18x8 front and rear on a e92 work . These would be for a narrow winter wheel setup .

wheel specs are 18x8 , 35mm offset .

looking at these

Yes it would work with 225/40/18 or 235/40/18 tyre. I would consider spacers to rear, so it isn't that sunken in. In fact i would probably add spacer to front too.

Yes, this is a pretty common way to go for winter use. 225/40R18 works quite well on 18X8 wheels all around for winter.

Thank you for the replies.

Would a 1/2 inch rear spacer be sufficient ?

I have to say, I purchased wheels for my mini at the tirerack not to long ago and the experience was very positive. Thanks.

The wheel specs should fit without a problem, and a 12mm will work in the rear to make them a bit more flush. You could even run up to like a 20mm spacer if you wanted to.
