Size/offset help

gizmo335i · 11-21-2009, 12:22 PM

I've been reading through a lot of threads and trying to find out without asking but..

I'm looking at getting a set of 19's in the somewhat near future.

I want the rear to sit flush and maaayyybeee stick out just a little. What's the widest I can go on an 08 335i? 19X10 rear and 19X8.5 front from what I've read so far? And what size tires should I go with?

And what's the best offset? I'm still a little ignorant about offset.

I know...a lot of noob quetions...

i recommend 19x10 +35 ish.. that's good.. or maybe 19x10 +30ish.. to stick out a little =)

OK...well at least someone responds. I would like more than recomendations tho....I'd like to know for sure info on how wide I can go/what sizes. Geez, no one on here can answer?

You could go 11" rear if you wanted..
I suggest doing your research and learn how to calculate offsets. It's simple.

19x10 et 20 with the arches rolled should fit, you just need to be careful on the tyre choice.

Without any fender work done, or are you willing to roll fenders?

Is the car lowered?

200Duece · 11-23-2009, 01:24 PM

how much do you weight? do people ride in the back seat? do you drive with a full tank of gas?

gizmo335i · 11-25-2009, 03:38 AM

I live in Germany so I'm not sure how many places around here will roll fenders. But I am willing to do it.

The car is not lowered yet. As of now, I plan on going with eibach pro/FSD. I weigh 177. The only person that is ever in the back seat is my 15 month old daughter. So that's about what....with the car seat....35 lbs.....

I guess I should be asking what size tires I should go with for these http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/19-Mi...Q5fAccessories

offset 30 WILL NOT stick out by any means. my car is running a 25 offset in the rear and is not even close to being flush. et15 would be your best bet to be flush on this car. id reccomemd these sizes.
i cant speak for the e92 or e90 lci

front 19x9.5 et25
rear 19x10 et15

gizmo335i · 11-25-2009, 10:54 AM

Damn, ok....19X9.5 in front? You don't think that would be too wide? I guess it would look stupid if I had 19X10 rear and only 19X8.5 in front...

No need to go with 19x9.5 in the front.

The size and offset that lonestar22 mentions are EXTREMELY aggresive, and I don't how that is drivable at least if it's lowered.
