What setup should I go with

bahasad · 04-06-2014, 08:00 PM

Car is an 08 328I lowered on eibach sportline suspension (about a 2 finger gap I would say a 1-1.25" drop overall)

Setup 1: Rear 265/30/19 with a 19x9.5" and ET20 offset. Will this fit?
Setup 2: Rear 235/35/19 with a 19x8.5" and ET35 offset. Will the tire fit?

Personally I want to go with setup 1 but am scared that the car is going to rub - here are some pics of the car on it's current 18x8 wheels with 12mm rear spacers and 225/40 tires:

Setup 1 of course. It will look much better, but you most likely need rear fenders rolled, so it would fit without rubbing.

One. You'll most likely need to roll the rear fenders. What sizes are you getting for the front?

mbanks21 · 04-07-2014, 03:52 PM

Does the rear have to be et20? Someone can chime in but et30 you may not need to roll the fenders (or maybe slight roll)

That is true. Et20 is flush so if he is willing to roll the fenders it is a better option.

The fronts are 235/35/19 on 19x8.5 ET35.

Yes. The rims are actually discontinued and I needed to buy a new set. **********s.com (where I bought them from) only had this offset or 19x8.5 ET35, which wouldn't fit well on my 265 tire.

Just bought the rime in ET20. I will hopefully get this to work and update this thread with pics...if not then

You should get 12-15mm spacers for the front.

Currently I have 12 mm spacers on my rear - I'm thinking I should go spacer less on the rear with the 265/30 19x9.5 ET20 setup and put my 12 mm in the front with 235/35 19x8.5 ET35 setup?

Bad idea?

techwhiz · 04-07-2014, 06:45 PM

ET20 might rub.
If it doesn't it will be close.

I'm running 19x9.5 ET35 with 275/30s.

Even with fender rolling?

Should look nice and flush.

bahasad · 04-12-2014, 01:57 PM

Went with 235/30/19 on 19x8.5 ET35 fronts and 265/30/19 on 19x9.5 ET20 rears. Fenders were rolled, car rubs only slightly on the drivers side over medium bumps - going to roll them a bit more.

Very drivable and I love how it looks - view post 7 in this thread for pics: http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=963806

Looks nice and flush. Did you use the 12mm spacers up front?

Nope...I would expect it to rub which is why I decided to pass on it.
