9.5 front wheel possible on 435i?

Does anyone know if it is possible to fit a 20x9.5 wheel on the front of a F32 435i, if so whats offset?

If its say offset +40-45, I am wondering if the wheel will hit any inside structure running KWV2 at its highest point?

Thanks

I am running 19x9.5 ET33 square on my 328d X-Drive Msport. For tires, I have 255/35/19 Michelin Pilot Super Sports. My suspension is BC Coilovers, and my ride height is pretty low. I have zero rubbing, and my car was aligned at the dealer and settings fit within factory max specs. We did add some camber, but still kept the settings within the factory range.

Hmm, thats good to know, I wonder if that means I would be okay too.

Although you said you added some camber, I believe that you can't add camber on the front (unless your BC coilover has builtin plates)?

Hey Will, for your set up you will need camber plates and spacers in front.
I used to run ground control camber plates with 9.5 35et+10mm spacers in front. Now I recently changed to KW Clubsport coilovers which requires thicker 15mm spacers in front.

Hello, thanks for the input.

You are talking about wheels spacers to decrease the offset right? That means that in front, you're running 9.5 +25ET? I would think that without a lot of negative camber and stretched tires that it would hit the top fender unless it were rolled or widebodied?

Correct, 9.5 25et with spacers and this is possible with camber plates. I do not have stretched tires, rolled fender or any other medications. Just KW Coils with camber plates and OEM bmw bearing which gives about -0.5 extra.

Note that this is only for track set up, 17x9.5 25et -3.1 cams in front.
For street I run 18x9 30et with -1.5 in front. It is totally up to you, I've seen people who doesn't care about the uneven tire wear.
