E92 18" Rear wheels on Front?
Has anybody tried their rear wheels on the front? Just wondering if I should try to get a pair to make an OEM square setup for the track.

This is my daily driver set-up. It works well at the track, but rubs on the street at near full lock. Mine is an e90, though. The e90 may have less clearance. If you run track tires that aren't as tall as the stock tires, you probably won't have a problem as noted by JAJ.

In fact, one of the reasons I went with the OEM rims was so I could use OEM bolts to hold my RComps on the bottom of the car. An added bonus is that OEM 18" rears will clear the Stoptech 380mm front brake kit, at least according to the measurements with the template. OEM 18" front's won't. |

I'm now thinking of getting a pair of OEM 18" rears for the front to run 255/35 and then run 275/35 in the rear. Not sure which tire to try yet... I really liked the Kumho Ecsta MXs, but they dicontinued them. They performed almost as well as R-Comps but never complained about it like the PS2s.

I would be awesome if the Stoptechs will work with the OEM 18x9.5 wheel!

Download your own, cut it out and try it - YMMV but I doubt it. |

Anyone know if the stock 18" fronts will fit another BMW? Maybe the non-M 3 E9x?

Let me get this straight... 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."

Thanks again to JAJ for the valuable information.
So I take it that front OEM 18" and rear 18"s have a different inner diameter? going to print and glue a stoptech template soon. |
