18x8.5 +18?

Okay so I was searching thru the Apex Gallery thread and there was a guy on stock suspension running 18x9.5 +35 on his Z4MC. He had to put a 5mm spacer up front.

My question is would the 18x8.5 +18 fit similar to this since the wheel is 1" smaller in width?

Need to know because I have some BBS RS-GT that I can put on the car if they work!!!!!

there's no way an 8.5"et18 is going to work on stock suspension. I'm running 8.5"et35 on stock and it is flush. frankly, 9.5"et30 (what you're describing) really doesn't work either. just because it bolts on, doesn't mean it fits.

the BBS you're looking at *might* fit if the car is lowered and you're running -2.5° camber and maybe even fender rolling and probably modification to the fender liners as well.

I'm running 18x9.5 et 26 on stock suspension, as I messaged you, you'll be ok. What tire size are you looking at?
