Wheel offset advice

Post by Simon 3.2M » Fri Oct 02, 2020 9:12 am

Good morning all, I was wondering if the wheel gurus can confirm if the following offsets will work on an M:

Front ET38 - 8.5j
Rear ET42 - 9.5j

The wheels are 19’s

Compared to 224s, the fronts will be 13mm wider, sitting 4mm further out. The rears will also be 13mm wider, but sit 12mm further in. I'd say the fronts were fine, but you'd need 15mm spacers on the rear....

The 19" CSL Reps on my car are Front ET44 8.5J and Rear ET27 9.5J.

So with those sizes you mention the fronts would sit 6mm further out which should be OK, but the rears would sit exactly 15mm further in so brillomaster has nailed it with needing 15mm spacers on the rear. :thumbsup:
