OG TE37 18x10 Michelin P4S 275/35/18

s65aw · 10-03-2020, 02:23 PM

Hey e92ers!

Need help I'm trying to fit TE37 18x10 with 275/35 Michelin p4s square set I test fitted the front but won't clear struts. Any recommendations to what size spacer or what I would need?
I tried to find a post but no luck here. Any help would be appreciated it!

Thanks!

What offset to begin with?

I ran a 18x10 +25 on a 225/35 tire up front, 265 on rear, on my pre-lci e92 barely fit.. But camber had to be around -2*. And it damaged the fenders.

Its almost not worth it. But te37s are.....just keep in mind you'll have that stretched look to fit.

Interesting, i didnt have any issues with my arc 8s. But barrel itself may of been not as "thick" on the inside?

Might try a very small spacer then. Couple mm 2-5?. If you can, find some small flatwashers, and use them for a temporary spacer for mockup, and measure the thickness, then order the correct hubcentric spacers and front tires. Gotta remember though, youre gonna push the wheel out now, since you cant physically move the hub out, thats the problem with wide wheels and high offsets. And our fenders are plastic junk instead of metal like the e90s.

I will try some smaller spacers 3mm or 5mm max. Might just go down a size on tires to 265/35 instead. I look at Apex website for arc8 18x10 et25 square set up tire 275/35 they suggested 5mm spacer in front. Thanks for your feedback

5mm is usually all you need.

This isn't on stock suspension right?

You are swapping out parts designed by some of the top engineers in the world because some guys sponsored by a company told you it's "better??" But when you ask the same guy about tracking, "oh no, I have a kid now" or "I just detailed my car." or "i just got new tires."
