Lets see those 18" wheel setups!

[BMW_GHOST_INSIDE]

Just picked up a set of 18" Beyern Ritz wrapped in winters from the forum's marketplace. Threw them on just to see what they'd look like while installing spacers on my summer wheels, and honestly I think I might like them better than my powdered OEMs lol. 18s with a bit more sidewall suits this car really well compared to 19s. Definitely considering slapping some all seasons on these and drive them year round, and save my OEM wheels as track wheels.

Looks great. What tires did you go with for these wheels?

The 10" wheels were 30 offset. 11" wheels are 40 offset. Now on a different setup.

18x11s ET40 all the way around on 315-30-18 Falken RT660s. 3mm spacers at all 4 corners too. Also now on coilovers.

Hey, Sean! I just caught this thread (...you know why...). Did you go with longer bolts with the spacers? Also, which spacers? I'm having a hard time finding a 3mm spacer of decent quality. Hubcentric?

Any spacer below 5mm isn’t going to be hub centric, as there should be enough hub for the wheel to grab on to.

You will need longer bolts so you have proper thread engagement with the hub.

Dinah has high quality spacers for our car in various sizes, and the correct length bolts for each application.

I run studs instead of the stupid factory bolts. So no worries with running spacers. These are the studs I got.

As for the spacers, I just got them off Ebay. They are hubcentric ones. Quality seems to be pretty good for how cheap they are.

Awesome, thanks! I'm being lazy here: do the hubs need to come out to install studs? I'm not a bolt fan.

Nope, they just thread in.

Nope, they just thread in.

I assumed so but then thought, "That's just way too easy"

It is way too easy...

This is how much thread I have left with the tiny spacers. It's a good combo.

Sold. Ordering in the morning. I'm not a fan of bolts, either.

Those are General Altimax Actic 12's.

At first I did Titan 7's squared setup on stock shocks & springs with 15 mm spacers in the front. Cleared the spring perch and no poke (pretty close tho), but probably would've added some spacer in the rear too if I was going for the looks.

Switched to coilovers and did the new 18x10.7 +38 with no spacers.

Liked them so much I bought 2 extra sets, same size different colors haha.

Jackie, you are a fountain of knowledge! I am lowered on MSS springs, and really want Titan7 squared in 18's. What do you recommend for tires and spacers?

Looks sharp man!
Do you have pictures from the side? No rubbing under when driving hard?

On my IG yeah.

Nope, no rubbing at all even after driving hard at the track

Out of curiosity, what the reason for buying wheels in the spec you want but still running spacers?
