    wheels and tires questions

    Hey guys! Been lurking around for a while and I'm taking the plunge for a first question on here! So I have a 2010 E90 (328i x drive sedan) with the style 162 18" staggered setup. A local guy has some 18mm spacers for sale at a fairly decent price! I'm considering them but have no idea if there would be any fitment issue or rubbing... What do you guys think? Any help greatly appreciated!!

    Cheers!

    Tom

    Measure and see if you have 18mm worth of space between the edge of the tire and the edge of the bodywork.

    Ok, so say I don't have 18mm worth of space, is there "a risk" it would rub, or it's sure it would rub and cause issues?

    Thanks for your help btw!!

    It would rub and burn the paint off your fenders if you don't have the room. Do this

    Wow! Didn't know it could be that much of an issue if thicker spacers are chosen! Thanks for pointing out that video, it really helped me figuring out what I need!!

    Cheers!
