Correct offset for E90 18" rims

[D_Iceman]

Thinking of ordering a set of 18" wheels for my E90, need help to see if anyone can provide the correct offset for what i want.

I'm looking at 18X8 fronts and 18X9 rears. I probably might go for a brake upgrade in the future. Anyone can help with the offsets?

Thanks

Factory stocks set up for 8 n 8.5 J are +34 n +37 respectively
And for one of their rims with 19in set up 8*9 Js are +37 and +39 respectively

So for your case if u wanna go for 8 * 9J , I suggest you go anywhere between +30 to +34 front AND +32 to +37 rear

Cheers

That 124 is for E39 and E60 only.

If u can get the rims with the lower (more negative) offsets then they should look much better or rather flushed to the fenders.

Just wanna share my experience.
I'm using 18x8 for both front and rear cos' I want to rotate my tires. But, I've installed Eibach spacers on the rear to flush the rear wheel to the sides. Furthermore, with Eibach pro-kit springs, there's no rubbing on the rear fender. ;-)

That's an interesting and probably cheaper solution. I do about 3-4k kms a month, might be a good idea though i like the rear rims to be deeper.

How's the eibach springs ride quality? I'm thinking of the KW Variant 1.
