18x8.5J ET 47s on LCI car?

E91 6MT · 01-03-2019, 08:00 PM

Hello all - with spacers, I've heard I can run a square setup on the stock base suspension. I plan to run 245/40R18s (I'm aware of the slight speedo inaccuracy). The car is an LCI E90.

What spacer thickness would be needed? I was thinking 15mm would beca good starting point, but I have yet to get the wheels in my hands.

I'd say 10mm in rear, 15mm in the front. Unless you are trying to go hella flush.

Thanks - I'll give that a shot and see where it ends up! Safe tire clearance is more important to me than super-flush, but I'll see what it looks like.
