Just put these wheels on my E90. Fitment is great as I am not going to lower. Offset is ET20 and the wheels are 18x8 all around. I got 225/40/18 Kuhmos mounted and the car drives like new again.

I would like to get the rear to look a little more aggressive maybe with spacers. Any recommendations ?

Be careful as the silver e91 with rear spacers is pre lci.

Yr e90x is an lci with a wider rear track already.

And just to be clear, that silver E91 is also Pre-Lci with Lci m-sport front conversion.
