Will 18x8.5 et10 fit?

[adriel_127]

Hi guys, new to the forum and new to wheel fitments. I found a good deal on some nice bbs rims but have no idea if they will fit my ti. Can someone tell me if they do? The wheel size is 18x8.5 et10 all 4 wheels. Would I have to make any modifications? Thanks in advance!

et 10? ROFL no

you will need to run with them without fenders all together :P

without a serious fender roll and really stretched tires it's not going to fit

Lol, if you rolled your fenders with a sawzall they would fit nice.

Seriously though, 18x8.5 wheels would want an offset around 40 to fit nicely. So an offset of 10 is moving the wheel more than an inch outward.

we may never see that OP again.

Ok thanks guys. I never really understood how offset works. Now I know. Thanks!

just for reference:
front space is the distance from the wheel mounting hub to near the front of the wheel,as some wheels vary.
Stock: 7" et47 backspace 135.9mm/5.35". frontspace 41.9mm/1.65"

E39: 8" et20 backspace 121.6mm/4.79". frontspace 81.6mm/3.2"

Yours 8.5" et10 backspace:117.95mm/4.64", Frontspace: 97.95mm/3.86"

with the Style 5 set ups out there i think this wheel would poke out around .75" and clear coilovers and bags. just a guess though.
