Before I start shopping for summer tyres (while gazing out at the ice this morning), I wanted to consider a move to a square setup. I have had this on my last BMW (E46) and found that it improved the handling considerably. The easiest option seems to be 18x9 ET30 all round. This is the same as running four stock rear wheels, so I thought I would check if anyone else had done the same?
From what I can tell, it will lead to about 24mm more stick out at the front, with no basically change in the inner suspension clearance. I can swap one of my rears to the front to check exact fit, but first I wanted to see if anyone had experience with it.
My endgame would be to order a set of forged Apex wheels in this size, so it's hard to undo if it turns out to be a bad idea
