hi,

can someone tell me how the following will fit on an e92?

19x9 et22
19x10 et22

Front will fit with a 10mm spacer.
Rear will require a stretched tire and rolling your fenders.

Why he needs spacer?? 19x9 et22 front is perfectly fine without spacers.

225/35/19 front and rear 255/30/19 tyres. Rear fenders rolled and possibly some added camber. You get almost this kinda look http://www.e90post.com/forums/showpo...52&postcount=1. Your wheels would extend 2mm compared to that.

I guess I stand corrected. I just reviewed that entire thread here:

Honestly, I am still shocked and a bit of a skeptic. I would imagine you'd hit the strut with a 22 front offset. This other guy says he doesn't rub but he does have an extra 2mm at 24ET. He is also on KW V2. This may be the determining factor.

Either way OP, good luck with whatever you decide. It might be nice to have spacers just in case but it's your call. Please post pics once done!

True coilovers will have less room than stock shocks and springs have. For example 19x9.5 et33 front KW v2 and about 1mm clearance http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=602677, The 19x9 et22 has 17mm more clearance, than 9.5 et33, so basically it's at least 18mm gap.

Also based my own experience i used to have 18x9.5 et35 front with stock shocks and had 1-2mm gap. Now i have 18x9.5 et22 with coilovers and about 10mm gap.

Did you mean this?

True coilovers will have MORE room than stock shocks and springs ALLOWING THE ABILITY TO RUN A WIDER WHEEL/TIRE. For example 19x9.5 et33 front KW v2 and about 1mm clearance http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=602677, The 19x9 et22 has 17mm more clearance, than 9.5 et33, so basically it's at least 18mm gap.

Coilovers are usually wider than the stock strut and spring. Lower offsets will give you more clearance on the strut side, but there is plenty of room since its only 9" wide.


Depending on how much camber you have the wheels can poke a few mm or you can bring them in so they're flush.

No most coils have thicker shocks and have those adjusting collars, so generally coils have less inner clearance than normal shocks and springs.

I guess that does make sense. Thank you for the education.

I would also like to add that I had a moment of idiocy about the spacers. Adding a 10mm spacer to the front would give a total 12et. No way that would fit. It's truly embarrassing because I know better.

Sorry OP if I led you astray.

No problem it's all good.
