Volk te 18 fitment question

Sam_f30 · 12-23-2020, 10:19 AM

I have a set of 18x9.5 et 22 and 18x10.5 et 20 volks that I would like to put on a 15 335i RWD

What would be required to make these work ? I know some camber but would I need to pull fender

a lot of camber and a lot of tire stretch. That's F8x fitment.

I'd get a square set if you could. the front could work with a camber kit and around -2 camber, you could even run factory radius 255/40/18 tires. the rear... good luck.

so what is the deal with TE37s and difficulty in installation?
i'm a wheel noob.
do TE37s not come in narrower width configurations? is that what makes the rears difficult?

what about reps?

They come in different sizes but because of the price. Basically the wheel market is saturated with low offset/wide sizes because more were purchased by F8x owners since F3x owners don't usually spend as much on wheels and tires. So people that want to get a deal on a used set are either waiting forever for a set to pop up in F3x fitment or buy F8x spec and do what it takes to make them fit.

Front will fit I've seen it done multiple times already. You'll need more than -2 degrees of camber though and possibly roll your fenders too. For the rear there's just no way for a 10.5 unless you upgrade the camber arms and do about -4 to -5 degrees of camber and it still prob won't fit unless you're okay with rubbing or crazy poke. Most aggressive you can do is a 10 in et38 or et40, but they don't even come in that sizing anyway. You'll also need fender work in the rear too if you go for anything more aggressive than a 9.5 et36

Recommended setup would be this but I know 9.5 square can be done.
F 8.5 et36
R 9.5 et36

You could also do stretch tires in the rear I got a friend with an 18x10.75 et22 his tires are 225/40/18. They look like rubber bands and debead once in a while tho
