Depends on your suspension setup. Front would fit with a 265 or 275 stretched, suspension with full inner clearance, and at least -2.2 camber. I don't know about the rear because I see no point in a 12" wheel on this platform. I do know that you will need to stretch a tire to make it fit.

Thanks for the insight. I have it lowered on a KW HAS kit. I take it I'm going to need a camber kit?

Yes you need camber plates. Plus your suspension reduces inner clearance so you will likely need spacers. Are you going for a stretched tire, tuner sort of look? That rear fitment is going look silly IMO.

On an E90M3 with 18x10.5 ET27 and 295/30/18 mildly lowered on H&R Sport springs, I have rubbed the outer wheel arch once or twice when I have had a lot of weight in the car. No way could I run 18x12 ET25 rears with proper tires and alignment.

Hopefully your E92 has more room under the arches. But for what you describe this is a car stanced for looks and is not really intended to be driven or to handle well. So stretch the tires and tilt the wheels in and run 1/2 tank or less of gas and don’t let anyone sit in the back seat and you might be able to fit 18x12 in the rear.

Lol that sounds like a huge pain in the ass. I guess I won't buy them.


Thanks for the insight everyone.
