Suspension/wheel question

[300kplus]

Has anybody been able to run 18 inch style 32s on an E39 M62
Square setup WITHOUT COILOVERS?

No fudging with suspension just slap them on and go (1998 M62

TIA!

8 inch or 9 inch? If the wider ones, you will need either a 12 or 15mm spacer up front.

The 9 inch. Going to be using extended Lugnuts for the rear with 12.5 mm spacer

Are you saying I don’t need for the rear but only for the front?

I had 18" wheels from E38 on before, 8.5" front, 9" rear, front is fine but the rear would rub the outer wheel arch when car hit pot holes or on rough roads, need to roll the fender.

Without the spacer on the rear, you may rub with 275/35/18 on the fender, better to go with 265/35/18 back there. The fronts, without a 12-15mm spacer, the rim or tire will rub on the strut, 265/35/18.
