The BBS wheels are:
Front *8.5J* x 19-ET32,Rear *9.5J* x 19-ET35

So the front wheels will sit approx 9/10mm further out in the arch.
The rear wheels will sit approx 9/10mm further out in the arch.

Both the E90 & E91 (both pre LCI & LCI) have more room in the arches than the E92,so given the offsets and wheel widths would fit the E92 comfortably,I can see no problem with these wheels having any clearance issues on the LCI tourer,even with the upsized tyres.

The BBS wheels don't have the same depth of concavity as that of the CSL wheel,but there is a difference front to back,the rears being more concave.

** Jeff, can you confirm the wheel widths, are they 8.5J / 9.5J?
yes that's correct, ideal widths for the 235/265 tyres.
