flow formed wheels in 18x8

GrimJaw · 11-04-2023, 01:31 PM

Any suggestions? Any help would be appreciated thanks! Maybe even tire size too I’m trying to see if I can run 235 40 18 square. 45 if I could (nj)

I run 235/40/18 square on 18x18.5 +38 with no issues. I wish there were more 18x8 flow formed wheels out there for our cars. Off the top of my head I think Enkei has a few options. Here is one I've had my eye on: https://enkei.com/shop/wheels/tuning/raijin/

I run 245/35/18 on 18x8 ET40 all around no problem. Can't speak to wheel models but 245s all around is easily done.

On the 2 series without spacers or rolled fendors right?

Trying to also find more brands for flow formed too. I can’t find any that match the size I want that are gloss black.

Anyone know anything about bimmer world TA5R? They are flow formed and 18x8.5

Could I fit 235/40/18 on stock height with no adjustments and no rub?

You will get the fastest/best advice by contacting Bimmerworld directly. Either by chat, phone, or email, they respond promptly to any questions.

I am running this exact wheel and tire size - Michelin PS4S. I am rwd and stock ride height with absolutely no issues over the last 1.5 years. BW has a gallery somewhere that shows a 240 with that wheel and lots of pics. I love them!

It's pretty snug on both sides, I think with this size you really need an offset between 38 and 42 to fit in the front. Here are some pics I posted a while back - https://www.2addicts.com/forums/show...&postcount=315

they should fit just fine, 18x8.5 is a good size for the front and +38 is a nice offset both aesthetically and fit-wise. if you wanted to go 245 it may require tinkering, but I'd expect 235 fits like a glove. Especially stock height.
