I'm getting a set of VMR 710's in the near future.

Current Setup:
17x8 et34 square

Future:
18x8.5 et 35 225/40
18x9.8 et 33 or 45 255/35
On Michelin PS2's rfts

It's going on an e90 328i with base model suspension. Would et 33 or 45 work better in the back to avoid fender rolling while still clearing the suspension? I'd much rather get spacers over fender rolling. Anyone think I'd be able to get away with et 33 in the back without rubbing?

If its an e90 lci(09+) then et45 is the safest option.

If its a prelci e90(06-09) go with et33.

Either way you can go up a size on the tire width. The sizes would be 235/40/19 and 265/35/18.

Running a 235 and 265 wouldn't require to roll my fenders or do you think it would?

No you'll have plenty of room.

I've been doing more research lol and 19's have been tempting me.
What your opinion on 19x8.5 et 35 245/45/19 and 19x10 et 38 275/40/19
You think i could get away with this setup without rolling?

Still you haven't told is your car Lci or Pre-lci? At the very least you need 245/35/19 and 275/30/19. Those have the correct aspect ratio. Those tyre sizes you listed are way too big.

If your car is Pre-lci E90, i suggest 235/35/19 and 265/30/19. Those will fit without issues and modifications for sure.

My bad, it's an LCI. Thanks

Front will fit without issues with 235/35/19, but rear is close call, it might fit without issues with 265/30/19, but so many tiny variables affect to that. Based on this it would fit without modifications. Pre-lci with 19x10 et28 265/30/19.

Your Lci with 19x10 et38 is the same as 19x10 et30 would be on pre-lci.

I'll probably end up rolling them. I think I'm just overthinking about the rust factor that can come into play, and I was hoping to squeeze in a bigger sidewall so that's why I asked about the 45/40s, one can only dream so much lol
Thanks for the help.

Since you are rolling your fenders you should use a 235/35/19 and 275/30/19.
