BUYING NEW WHEES. PLEASE HELP WITH THE MOST AGGRESSIVE FITMENT FOR Xi

LuvMyRide · 01-10-2011, 01:06 PM

Can some1 please tell me what the most aggressive looking set-up would be for an Xi in 19"

Gavin@MMW · 01-10-2011, 01:08 PM

How much work are you willing to do to achieve that look?

Do you want aggressive to the point of insane, or just something mild that offers a flush fit with minimal work to the body? (ie fender rolling or shaving)

Tire stretch?

I want to do NO BODY work @ all....just something mild that offers a flush fit

What suspension are you on?

LuvMyRide · 01-10-2011, 01:16 PM

Stock, but about to install Bilstein sports or HD's w/ H&R sport springs....

Gavin@MMW · 01-10-2011, 01:22 PM

I think the M368 in Hypersilver or Matte black will look great, and offer a nice fit - without rubbing.

19" 19x8.5 et35 front and 19x9.5 et33 rear :

Let me know if you need help on a setup

LuvMyRide · 01-10-2011, 01:42 PM

Wow~! This looks great. Exactly what I'm lookin for! Thanks so much for your helpful info!!!

No problem, You've got a PM coming

LuvMyRide · 01-10-2011, 01:54 PM

Can you repost photos? As you can see, only 1 was able to be viewed...

Gavin@MMW · 01-10-2011, 01:57 PM

strange.. all 3 show up for me, PM me your email and I can send them direct to you

VMRWheels · 01-10-2011, 02:45 PM

8.5 +35 front and 9.5 +33 rear with a 235/265 setup works great. This will be flush on all 4 corners of the car without the need of any kind of fender work at stock height. Depending on how low you go, some slight fender rolling may be required in the rear.

Feel free to take a look at our website for some wheels.

ALUFELGEN · 01-11-2011, 11:34 AM

The BEST offset for the E90 pre-lci is 19x8.5 ET +35 Front and 19x9.5 ET + 28. Not many wheels come in that fitment. Anything lower than a 28mm offset with a 265/30/19 will rub on a E90 pre-LCI and will require modified fenders.

Why don't you upgrade to a staggered SF-71 setup?

LuvMyRide · 01-11-2011, 11:51 AM

I am... didnt I already tell you??l I have to get em from DTMrack...

You are talking about the diamond cut face 1's right??? Keep in mind what I'm trying to acheive when I place my order

Tire sizes have nothing to do with fitment. The offset determines the position of the wheel with relation to the strut/fender. An offset of ET30-ET35 on a 9.5" wheel will be a perfect fit. Just tell me what tire size you are looking to run and I`ll tell you the best offset to go with.

ModBargains.com · 01-11-2011, 12:26 PM

The setup that is going to work perfectly without fender modifications is the 19x8.5 ET35 with a 235/35/19 in the front and 19x9.5 ET33 with a 265/30/19 in the rear. Here are a few pictures of the Avant Garde M310 with this exact same setup on an E90 for you to check out!
