Hey guys,

I've done alot of google searching, but I'm getting too many variations to the answer I'm looking for.

What I'm wondering, is would I be able to run a square setup of 17x9 et41 D force LTW5's on 245/40/17 tires with no body modifications to my 1998 328is?

Would there be any need for 12mm spacers? I have BC coilovers front and back. Stock camber front and back. Stock brakes front and back.

I'm currently running a staggered setup of 18x9 et38 rear (245/35/18) and 18x8 et 35 front (225/40/18) avant garde m310's. I just installed my BC coilovers and I feel like my wheel/tire setup is not optimal. Now that my car is handling on rails, I want to get a better wheel and tire setup. 17x9 sounds like the way to go! I just want to make sure it will fit.

All help is much appreciated, thank you!!

Should be fine with a fender roll. A small spacer may be needed to clear the strut. Like 5-10mm
