Hi guys i have ran into some problem fitting these wheels on my e90. I bought the wheels locally. I am running eibach sportline springs front tires are 245/40/19 and rears are 275/35/19 . What tire sizes would i have to run in order to have these wheels on my car with out rubbing? right now the fronts rub the most the rears rub a bit less, but nonetheless they all rub .any help would greatly be appreciated thanks

No wonder they rub, those tyre sizes are way too big. What you need is 225/35/19 or 235/35/19 front and 265/30/19 rear.

yea this is my dilemma i was thinking about mounting the front tires on the rear wheels and new front tires for now 225/35/19 to be save just don't know how much of a stretch that could be. I have looked around for similar setups and it doesn't look to bad as far as stretching goes.

I wouldn't do that, because then your rear and front tyres have huge diameter difference. 225/35/19 is slightly stretched, but nothing major. Example http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=678621

Is it even driveable like that? I would try 235/35/19 & 265/30/19, but 225/35/19 & 255/30/19 is a safer choice.

the car is not driveable i took the pictures right after putting on the wheels. would it hurt anything if i ran a radius of 40 on rear wheels and 35 up front?

radius differences between front and rear dont matter really. it all comes down to the circumference of the wheel. more than likely the rear will be a 30 series with the front being a 35. its a percentage of the width of the tire. so the sidewall height is 35% of the 225 width making it ~79mm. 19x9 et 20 will definitely need a 225/35 front for sure

Then your rear tires would be alot taller than the front. Right now they are one profile too tall and at least one size too wide. I would go with 235/35 and 265/30. I don't really mind stretch myself I just like to use the widest tire possible.
