Just wanted to report that it seems like my rear wheels are touching the fender in some cases , maybe at high speeds on highway there is some white on the outer edge of the tires. Very odd becauae that part of the tire is literally outside of the fender

Did you figure out where the white was coming from?

Almost certainly body of the car. When I put the winters on I will examine it again. I think when the car I in comfort mode the suspension is a bit more soft and in combination with high speed hwy bumps and 4 ppl in the car it can touch. Looks great though

Impact on mileage?

I'm going to upsize as well, but wondering if anyone has noticed any measurable impact on mileage? Anyone got any stats? (sorry if I missed this discussion elsewhere)

BMW i8 wheel setup

22x9 and 22x10.5 32front/44 offset rear. RF15 wheels with 235/30/22 and 285/25/22 tires
H&r lowering springs.
Rear pokes out just a little, but I'm happy with them. Would get 50 offset on the back next time so it is completely flush

Absolutely stunning. What’s the ride like on the roads. Here in the uk the roads are awful.

Hi guys,

This is the modification I'm currently working on.

I would like to replace custom rims and mount 245/40/20 and 275/35/20 tires.
What are the compatible rim sizes that can be mounted on i8 for the above mentioned tires?

Another question is:
I suppose I will need spacers to push the rims out to the new fenders which will be mounted?
