18x9.5 ET22 square on E91 LCI Msport?

I have an opportunity to get a set of Volk TE37s. They're square setup, 18x9.5 ET22.

Will they work on an E91 LCI Sport/M-Sport, and with what modifications? What tire sizes would be ideal? I'm not a fan of stretched tires BTW.

Thanks in advance!

You're going to have to stretch the front and would have to shave fenders for limited rubbing

No.

Offset is too aggressive. My M3 wheels at 219M are 18x9.5 ET23 and I had to add negative camber to stop the rubbing without rolling the fenders. I also had to drop my plus size back to OEM spec, so instead of running 235/265, I am back to 225/255 for staggered setup.





On a square setup, you might need to run 255/35 all around to avoid rubbing in the rear, but might have rubbing in front, or 245/35 front and back, but don't run 40 series or you will rub like crazy.

Use this link to determine proper tire size:

Additionally, unless you add negative camber, and roll the fenders, the rears will rub.

If you're not a fan of stretched tires, I would not recommend a setup like that.
