E36 with 18x8 wheels

[rpa01]

Im new in this I have a E36 328 1997 four door (european version) with 16x7" Style 25 alloy wheels (I believe ET 46) with 225/50-16 tyres and I want to change it to 18x8 ET42 with 225/40-18 tryes, ah!! I droped down my car 2" with Eibach Pro kit springs

Somebody knows if this new alloy wheel could fit it in my car with rolling the fenders?

regards

Seems like you'll be okay. I searched a couple of threads and people say it's only a problem if you run wider tires like 235s/245s/255s. Since you're going with 225, you should be okay!

Thanks for your advice, this are my new wheels 18x8 ET42

I run 18x8 ET40 w/ 225 all around with no problems, I am going for 245s next time.

I run a 18x8.5 ET 38 w/ 225/40/18 Fronts and 245/40/18 Rears with a slight roll in the rear with no problems. I've ran 255/40/18s with no problems as well.

Thanks for the reply, I need to be sure, because as I drop my car 2" with Eibach pro Kit spring I had the Idea that I need to roll the fenders, but with you commnets i will be ok.

Wow this is perfect i was wondering the same thing. does anyone know if H&R races will work with the same setup with rolled fenders. 18 by 8's et35 all around with 225 35 up front and 235 35 in the rear or would that rub. Sorry for the sorta thread jack but if i can get my question answered it saves me from making another can theses wheels fit thread LOL.

i'm running on billies and h&r race springs, rolled fenders, and in the rear i run 18x9" +26mm offset rims on 245/35/18 hankook ventus v12 evo tires.

no rubbing here ;)

[AMGLOL]

wow ok i shouldent have a problem then for sure.

[rpa01]

I believe I will have the same problem too with my 18x8 ET35 and Eibach lower spring (2" low) but i will run only 225/40-18 all around.

But I need to wait some weeks more to fit my new wheels in my car, because are in the ship in the midlle of the ocean !!!


wow ok i shouldent have a problem then for sure.

[AMGLOL]

thats why im stepping down the tire height to a 35 instead of a 40 or 45 to compinsate for the 1 inch larger diameter rim. and gunna stretch it a bit
