Aggressive Fitment Question

AWBimmer · 03-05-2015, 04:20 AM

Hey Guys,

Needed some advice please.

I'm on Accuair Elevel and Airlift Kit all round for my E92 - that's suspension done.

I'm thinking of selling my Rial Daytona 2 piece currently specc'd with:
Fr: 19 x 10j et 18 w/ 3" dish (+7mm spacer to clear strut)
R: 19 x 10j et 30 w/ 3" dish

I have the opportunity to buy some 3 piece OZ wheels in 18s with the following spec:
F: 18 x 9.5j et 38 w/ 2" dish (I'll run a 12mm spacer and take it 10j)
R: 18 x 11j et 30 w/ 3.25" dish (Exactly what I'm after give or take)

Can any one comment on whether I should even consider going down to 18s please and what the ride quality will be like? Should I sell the 19s and do a set of wheels that I've never yet seen been done on the E92 - atleast in the UK!

Need to make a fairly quick decision so chime in one and all.

I am definitely after stance but don't want to compromise TOO much on ride quality as it's a daily.

Thanks.

Sam

Ride will be better on the 18s, no doubt. You'll need a hardcore roll and pull to get anything fatter than a 245 on the back I would think.

EDIT: decided to remove comments I wasn't 100% sure of. By the way, if you post in Wheels and Tires forum, you'll no doubt attract the eye of our resident wheel guru, monacoblue.

I think you should do it. It will look awesome and if you want more aggressive then you can rebuild them. I would use 225/40/18 and 255/35/18 or 265/35/18 tyres. You should remember Frode D's ride http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=957098

Thread Closed. Game Over. Match - Set - Point

Hahha..

thanks guys. I totally forgot Frode's set up there. Big Fan. Ok, fingers crossed the buyer for Rials shows up next week!

watch out going down to 18's if you end up laying frame like me it brings a whole new set of questions into play when you air out. My bag popped out due to there being literally no pressure on it.

fapwgn · 03-05-2015, 03:28 PM

That happened to me while test fitting my 19s, Marc. When I put them on for the summer I'm just going to have to air out to like 10psi or something.

AWBimmer · 03-05-2015, 05:22 PM

Dang! So what do you ladies recommend I do then? I cannot afford to have bags popping off lose - I'll just end up crying like a biach,

Lol, I know who you are man. Like I said, as soon as I'm ready to get rid of them, you'll be the first person I contact.

Didn't know that can happen. Is that only Airlift kit rear problem? I have sleeve bags at rear and i don't think that can happen to me.

up!

Projekt_BooGie · 03-06-2015, 01:31 PM

this is interesting...with all my wheel options I was never able to go lower then about 30 psi in the rear aired out. But I will say that bag riders changed from a double size bag (like the one in the picture) to a single.

mashimarho · 03-06-2015, 01:34 PM

fawk. All these guys in here on air except me. I need to step it up.

I spoke with Will @ BagRiders about this when it happened and he said he's never had that issue with any of the 4 E9Xs that they have at their shop. It only happened to me because my car was sitting on tire, which prevented it from going down with the bag. Me and a buddy are trying to think of a possible "fix" for this by somehow securing that top red piece.

yea this has never happened to me either

wdeerfield · 03-06-2015, 05:28 PM

love what you are thinking for a setup but why is this in the photo section? seems the wheel and tire subforum would be a better location.

idk man. Was on my phone and it/I was being a retard..

probably because I'm AWD. And, there's only one kit made for it. Bag Riders.

naynay · 03-09-2015, 06:39 PM

dont go 18s. 18s are too small for our cars.

Ok because I've been contemplating on it all week. I think I'm stick to my Rial Daytona and just go Wider rear dishes and make it 4" rear..

That or sell them off and save up for BBS RS2 in 18s because that's what's avialble from the US made to spec!!

Euroboost91 · 03-09-2015, 07:37 PM

I've aired out several times to 0 psi and never ran to any issues but when I do air out to 0 my fender is sitting on top of the lip. I usually air out to about 20 psi in the rear just to be on the safe side.
