Wheels on non-sport package e90
Hey guys just got my first bmw for free through a company I'm in, and I'm LOVING it. I've searched for for a couple of days before I joined the forum, and I still cant make a solid decision on wheel size. I have a 11 328 e90, NON sport package. Im torn between 18-19" csl style wheels, would rather go with 18s because of bad roads in Louisiana, BUT im nervous about a nasty wheel gap. Can you guys with non sport package e90s post your card with 18-19" wheels. Thanks in advance! And for some reason non of my pics will upload because of size? So I'll post a pic asap!

Going from a 18 to a 19 wheel does not change the wheel gap. Most people that go up in wheel size usually go down in aspect ratio. For instance 235/45/18 to a 235/40/19. The aspect ratio which is the center number in the sizes keeps the overall diameter similar in size while increasing wheel size. If you want to reduce the fender gap go up one size in the aspect ratio whether its a 18 or 19 inch wheel. This will increase your tire diameter. There are a few on the forum that have done that and I personally think it looks good.

Here is a link to a E90 that went one size bigger in aspect ratio. The car is lowered but look at the difference in wheel gap.
The pic is a GIF so wait for it to change. http://www.e90post.com/forums/showpo...72&postcount=1 As for pictures your going to have to do your own work. There are many threads that are full of photos. http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=267 http://www.e90post.com/forums/showth...ght=e90+wheels http://www.e90post.com/forums/showth...itanium&page=2 Last edited by 9ball; 04-19-2015 at 05:08 PM.. |

Well my buddy has a 2012 335 coupe with the sport package 19" wheels, and I really dont want to run 255/30/19s but idk if its possible to run a bigger tire with 19s since I have an e90 sedan WITHOUT Sport package. Or if I should go 18's with an aggressive tire, just cant seem to find any pics of 18 with a beefy tire or 19s on a NON sport sedan...

A lot depends on what size rim and offsets you run plus tire sizes vary between manufacturers. For instance Michelins seem to run larger given the same size as other brands. With the stock wheels your buddy can probably go 245 and 275/19 without any rubbing problems with his sports suspension. Also, I believe E90's have more room for tires than E92's.
