Wheels are 19x10 ET20, 19x8.5 ET35, tires are 245/35/19 front and 275/30/19 rear. Will these fit on an LCI E90?

Thanks.

The front will fit. The rear is going to take some work though. 19x10 et20 is the same as 19x10 et12 on a prelci. You will need to roll your rear fenders, trim the area where the bumper meets the fenders, and add negative camber. If you used 235/35/19 and 265/30/19 or even 225/35/19 and 255/30/19 it will be a little less work in the rear.

And in my opinion front needs spacer to match the rear poke. With 225/35/19, i would say 15mm. I would go with 255/30 and find tyre brand that run narrow. Wouldn't even think about 265/30/19.

19x10 et 12 is retracted only 3mm less, than my current setup 18x10.5 et15 with 255/35 and i still rub, but i haven't remove the bracket yet.

Thanks for the replies & I'm afraid that these tires /wheels won't fit on my LCI with these tire sizes without major modifications which I'm not willing to make. I was under the impression that the rears offset was ET 36. Sux.

Agreed, I was going to suggest a spacer up front but I figured the rear was more work than the op would want to do anyways. It's a very aggressive fitment and 255 probably still isn't even enough stretch on a 10" wheel.

And btw why haven't you removed that bracket yet? Slacking

Previous owner mounted these on a pre-LCI.

Because i have m-sport rear bumper at the bodyshop waiting to be fixed and painted. I don't want to cut both bumpers. Not so funny thing is that i bought the bumper in March, it has been at the bodyshop ever since.

It looks like the wheels original owner might have gotten confused & thought that the rears ET was 20. He just told me that the rear wheel size actually is 19x10 ET 36 so I'm hoping that the current 275 tires will fit on the car without mods. Fingers crossed.

Do it! lol

You might need a slight roll in the rear since those are prelci sizes but nothing major, it may even fit without a roll if you want to give it a try.

The rear sizing is more aggressive than I'd recommend. On your E90 LCI, you will need to do some fender work to fit them.

[Motorama]

Thanks for the feedback. I'll try them & might consider doing a fender roll if needed.

So now the rear is basically 19x10 et36 which is the same as 19x10 et28 on pre-lci. Here is one with that exact setup, but 265/30/19 tyre and no rubbing or fender work.

Thanks to the in house wheel experts for all the feedback. I just mounted the new set & so far the they seem to fit on my car without any rubbing. The final test will be when I have people loaded in the back seat.

Thanks again.

Really liking the setup. I'm amazed yours doesn't rub because mine did

I haven't had grown passengers in the back yet so hopefully they won't rub when loaded. Choice of tires make a difference as well though.

Thanks and I'm really liking the setup as well. Pictures don't do the wheels justice & they're lighter than the stock ones even though they're 19s.

Mine are 19x9. Et35 245/35r19 front
19x10. Et38. 275/30r19 rear
after I rolled my fenders I have room for a spacer or maybe a jump to 285/30r19

Wow glad I found this thread. I have the exact same wheels and I'm shopping for tires to put on. I'd like to know what's the exact tire you're running with that setup (Make, model)

Do you have any rubbing in the front at full lock like many are reporting ?

I'd like to get Michelin AS3 in 245/35-19 and 275/30-19
