Can I fit 9.5" wide on a front E36?

[yusoslo]

E36 M3 I want to run CSL wheels 18x9.5 up front here are the available offsets

18 x 9.5 5 x 120 22 / 33 / 45 72.6

I would run 9.5 in the rear as well +22 offset

[scaredofstance]

thats gonna be a tight fit... i think it can work if you stretch the tire... anyone done it, id like to see it myself.

What is the 22/33/45 mean?

They will fit with stretched tires

Depending on how much camber you run and how flush you want it get the 33 or 45 up front. Mine are et36 up front with a big ass tire and 3* of camber. I actually still have room between the fender and tire, I could run another 5mm easily or a 265/40. Problem is rear fitment really, if you are flush you can't have much suspension travel or you rub 24/7

yeah I think thats the problem with the E36 is the rear fender design it gets really tight inside there, My 350z I could run real aggressive and not rub. I was going to run the 22mm in the rear

you think 33mm up front will work?

18x9.5/8.5 +13 fits easily with stretched tires and natural camber...

ony problem is the CSL wheel on gets nice concave face with the 9.5 wheel.

Yes with a stretched tire 33mm almost won't be enough out front.

I am running 255/40-17 square and 36mm leaves me a little room up front with alot of camber.
